Ah well, guess I'll skip... some of these may stay in the 5£ range (some have, for a while, it seems) and there's not really enough to pique my interest. Will grab the Garrick and Rendell eventually and get some more Kirchin, too (all I have so far is one Trunk disc, that Industrial North one... pretty great!)

This album consists of 38 of my absolutely most favorite minutes of music ever recorded - any style. If I could only keep 10 albums, this might be one. It's been a while that I took that Mosaic out of the shelf, but if only for the cover, I had to get this one! It was marked 16 CHF (about 14$ currently, but it feels a lot less to me) but I ended up getting it for 10! Don't, whatever you do, head over to the Vocalion thread... I'm rather out of danger as I'm more or less up to date there... excepting the new releases which are understandably not part of the sale...

Thanks for the thumbs up/warning (over here)... Shake Keane - DIG IT! & SHAKE KEANE WITH THE KEATING SOUND Is that one worth getting? Is it easy listening/lounge stuff... still worth getting? Don Rendell - Playtime & singles compilation And how 'bout that one? Guess this one I need: Garrick's Fairground - MR SMITH'S APOCALYPSE also... Tony Crombie - SWEET, WIDE AND BLUE & TWELVE FAVOURITE FILM THEMES The Kirchin Band - EMI SINGLES COMPILATION 1954-56: GOTTA BE THIS OR THAT Kenny Baker - OPERATION JAM SESSION, TRIBUTE TO BENNY CARTER ETC. Michael Garrick's New Quartet - LIVE AT PIZZA ON THE PARK The latest is a DVD and as I rarely watch the few I have... but it's rather cheap. Got the other few jazz discs that are in the sale... don't overlook the Ray Russell, it's excellent!

today's haul: Jazz at Preservation Hall 1 - The Eureka Brass Band of New Orleans (Atlantic SD 1408) Barbara Donald and Unity - The Past and Tomorrows (CJR) Dizzy Gillespie - Vol. 1/2 (1946-1948) (Jazz Tribune N° 2) Illinois Jacquet - Genius at Work! (Black Lion) Kid Ory - Creole Jazz Band 1944/45 (Good Time Jazz L-12022) The Atlantic looks splendid, and the cover photo is great! #3 of the series was there, too, but cost about twice as much (I ended up getting a huge discount, so I should have taken it, too... but how could I have known...) The Gillespie is all on the 2CD set, but that one's very no-noised - except for a the Teddy Hill tracks, the Lionel Hampton track, the alternates from the Metronome All Stars, and a few cuts with Johnny Hartman, all of it is on the French double LP and I'm sure it will sound much better. The Donald I've seen elsewhere several times, but it always was a bit too pricey... and the Ory, finally... now I've got two of these Good Time Jazz LPs, already have the one from 1954 with Barney Kessel aboard. Oh, forgot the Jacquet... smokin' hot stuff in trio with Milt Buckner and Tony Crombie - played the first track and had to absolutely buy!

some variant of this, it seems:

'merikan politicians are all out of their minds! No money for Mosaic now, sorry... spent way too much on vinyl and all the crazy CD summer sales that are going on (amazon.de and amazon.fr... co.uk has some crazy offers going on, too...)

It used to be just astronomical. Now it is mythical ! I can get Mosaic sets for about half the price I could get them in the worst days... but I've still got a few unheard ones. And I don't think the US$ will be worth considerably more too soon...

Yes, just went and checked here: http://www.storyvillerecords.com/default.aspx?tabID=2867&productId=27205&state_2758=2 It's #1-22 of of Disc 4 in the "Duke Box"!

OK, thanks - it's not sane to buy everything on vinyl and CD anyway... but I might go for the wonderful gatefold of Ellington's "New Orleans Suite" - it's a bit pricey but in perfect condition (about the price of 5 cups of coffee... for which you'd have to pay around 20€ now, but to me, it feels less pricey as the € and everything else is worth sh*t now... or rather, the Swiss frank is way overpriced...)

Woody Herman - Swing Low, Sweet Clarinet Very enjoyable quartet date with Woody on clarinet exclusively (and no singing), accompanied by Nat Pierce, Chuck Andrus and the great Gus Johnson. Guess that one's another original? Looks exactly like the above, the number (right side in the small printing in the white bar at the bottom) is "PHM 200-004". This one was even cheaper than the Ellington & Coltrane... and I could pick up "Encore" dirt cheap, but with cover in just so-so shape... and I have the Mosaic Select... should I still reconsider and get the LP?) Here's one more and better pic:

Frank Foster - The House That Love Built (Steeplechase) CD seems to include a 10 minute bonustrack (#4)

Thanks for the update. I just looked at that DEMS link again and was happy to see that they're including 8 tracks from the 1943 Hurricane broadcasts. I have a tree of much of the '43 Hurricane material but would love to see an official release of all of it at some point. There is a Storyville release (I guess that's official) of 3 Hurricane broadcasts from '43 including one "Pastel Period" broadcast. "At the Hurricane" Storyville 101 8359. ... and it's also (I assume) the same material from the Hurricane, that can be found on the "Duke Box"?

Very nice! The Pops part will be on the upcoming totally superfluous Universal 10CD set... I already wondered about where the rest of it could be found... and with the Pops being in there, too, that's nice! I'll grab this for sure!

"Dixieland" featuring Ben Pollack and his Pick-A-Rib Boys (Savoy MG-12090) Can't find a cover scan anywhere... my first original Savoy LP, for sure, and a nice one, too! Great Teagarden feature on "Mighty Like a Rose"!

Catching up with news only now... and just found this in the shelves, had forgotten all about it - it's spinning now, and nice it is! r.i.p. Fran Landesman

That one will be on my turntable tomorrow, too! @clifford: true dat! Ain't it great to have a good laugh, too... guess Fos is laughing with us!

Very sad news - r.i.p. Frank Foster

Footage from Andy Bey and some others in Paris: Who's the dude reminiscing?

Thanks - that's exactly how it looks! I guess around 10€ for this WAS quite a find, after all!

Can someone maybe help me determine if my "Duke Ellington & John Coltrane" is indeed an original pressing? There's a deep groove roughly where the outher black "frame" on the label begins. In the dead wax on side 1 are the following stamps: "AS 30A", "...? Sound" (very small, can't read the first word, it's in a tiny curly type) In the dead wax on side 2: "VAN GELDER", "AS-30 B" (originally handwritten), "STEREO", and "LW" (vertically, L on top of W), like: What's the meaning of that anyway? Seen it before... Further, on the labels as well as the back cover: "A PRODUCT OF ABC-PARAMOUNT RECORDS, INC." and "PRINTED IN U.S.A."

Yes, that one's fabulous! But to me, it's by far Masekela's finest (Dudu smokes... and spews fire!) Don't know that much yet, but nothing else I've heard had a similar impact on me...

Bridesmaids just started here... but there's so much old stuff in the cinemathèque... that's the thing: you got to make picks, select, and live without seing all you'd like. And with me, most often I got and watch the old films...

Yeah, that's silly indeed! I love a good comedy... but of course - as you were expecting, I guess - I'm drawn mostly to great old screwball comedies... "Ball of Fire", "The Lady Eve"...

Hey, us weirdos actually watch all these arthouse films because they're fun for us Either way, to me it's all welcome, but if you're more comfortable in a separate thread, that's of course fine, too!

not sure if any of them qualify as great finds, but I got them all in good to very good quality (that means "good" as in "good", not as in "unplayable" in that silly merikin vinyllingo which I don't get - good is good, dig?) and for very fair prices: Duke Ellington Presents the Dollar Brand Trio (Reprise) The Woody Herman Quartet - Swing Low, Sweet Clarinet (Philips) Jess Stacy and Friends 1938-1944 (London/Commodore Classics) Willie "The Lion" Smith - Composer-Entertainer (Commodore Classics) Keith Jarrett - Concerts (ECM 3LP) Jimmy Rushing - Rushing Lullabies (Philips UK) Keith Jarrett - The Köln Concert (ECM 2LP) Keith Jarrett - Hymns Spheres (ECM 2LP) Sidney Bechet Sessions (Storyville) Dixieland with Ben Pollack and his Pick-a-Rib Boys featuring Jack Teagarden (Savoy) Art Hodes - Someone to Watch Over Me ("Live at Hanratty's") (Muse) Duke Ellington & John Coltrane (Impulse AS-30) as well as a 2LP set of Swiss jazz from 1935-65 with a few interesting cuts (and lots of amateur dixie bands that I could happily live without).
