BUT FOR CHRISSAKES AT LEAST MENTION IT'S *ONLY* MP3, OR ELSE WE CD-ONLY GUYS WILL ALL DIE FROM HEARTATTACKS! Thanks for considering!

With "unofficial" you mean CD-Rs?

Yeah, Wilson on the Anderza - one of the good examples, to my ears!

Happy Birthday! :party:

Neither do I. @tranemonk: is there any particular reason for your, uhm, line of reasoning? Any insights that we miss?

There's no need for a new thread at all, since there's one here: I'm sure no one gets mad if you post amazon or other bargains there, similarly to how here no one gets mad about someone posting about cheapo euro rip off sets. mp3, in my understanding, is about tracks, tunes, songs... an mp3 box set is a contradictio in adjecto, at least in my book.

Discs one and two so far, going on for a few more hours... lovely music!

Well, there's an i or e or whatever music thread somewhere - I've don't read that one, but I assume MP3 bargains could be mentioned in there, couldn't they? But then someone might tell us to "think outside the box", ya know

Can't MP3 be kept in a separate thread, please? I still don't see how you can box bits and bytes and ship them by air mail.

By coincidence I recently just dug out the one Phontastic LP I've got - the Washington DC concert from 1955 - a very nice one!

"Hard Talk" is on Enja and easily available. Same for "Seagulls..." Don't think you can profit of such offers from outside the US, but I'm really hoping CAM comes around to releasing a Waldron box or two as time passes!

Thanks!

That's what the writing on the back of the box suggests, yes. But in absence of tracklistings, the DEPanorama website isn't really helpful either (they don't seem to have any numbering that fits with the one on the website for the 10CD set). Same with Bruyninckx... too bad, but I guess then this 10CD set might be a good buy for someone who hasn't started buying the Storyville 2CD sets (of which I own six so far, eight more to go...) Bruyninckx has an album listing at the end of his Ellington entry, including the following: What are these? LPs that preceeded the Storyville 2CD sets? Or are these the original non-commercial transcription discs?

Thanks - has to be further investigated then... didn't consider possible overlap with the DETS releases yet!

Anyone knows about this set of 10 hours worth of V-Disc shows by Ellington? Legit? Sound quality? Never heard of this label! http://www.radioarchives.com/Date_with_the_Duke_p/ra158.htm

The link's visible but it leads nowhere...

Wasn't there such a thread a few months ago already? I guess I like it as often as it bothers me... most recently I loved it on a track on Erroll Garner's "Paris Impressions" LP!

you can't link pictures from rateyourmusic, here it is: http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/a7f08a185f653260a594090f0ab16577/179735.jpg doesn't work either...

Been playing discs one and two in the past days (same with discs one and two of the RCA set), now it's disc three.

The B to the YG

Louis Armstrong - The Complete Hot Five and Hot Seven Recordings Love this one! Beautiful package and sound is very good to my lacking ears...

Thanks for the link, brownie. Been playing the first two discs of the RCA set last night, as today I won't have time for much music at all.

Happy Birthday and all the best, Barak!

Thanks a lot for the additional details, Mike!

Well, they could have omitted a few well-known cuts from the box and made that one more interesting by adding all the remaining rarities... anyway, it's still a nice box, I think.
