Well, it seems that except for the Pearson, it took only a few minutes for all of these to sell out... there's no reason to hold this against Mosaic! I sent them a mail within a few minutes as well, I got a kind reply (as always) but I guess they were flooded with orders and mails and they being such a small company - two or three people? or just Cindy being at the office regularly? It's always she who answers my mail concerning orders, and she's always been perfectly polite and on several occasions extremely kind to me.

ok, got a mail a few minutes ago... all they still have aside for me is the Duke Pearson... will have them hold it and think of something to add to the order. * * * the good news is that (in my message yesterday I did ask about it) they told me that the other backorder sets (I specifically mentioned these ones, all of which I want to get eventually: Jazz Crusaders, Jay & Kai, Chu Berry, Lionel Hampton, Herman Columbia, Sonny Stitt and Parker) would be available again by the end of the year. Now that's a relief indeed! Maily in the case of the Crusaders and the Stitt, which come from the EMI family as well (the Jay & Kai, btw, is the single disc). I really hope there won't be more such devastating news to come!

just what I seem to be doing right now...

I tried a mail re: holding back the Donaldson. I did get a short response from them last night saying they are 'sold out'. I'll bet they are fuming over this. No mail here Gee, I really really really am pissed about this! Really in a bad mood ever since yesterday 6 p.m.! Remember there's a 6-hour time difference between Mosaic and Switzerland, and their office hours are 9-5 Eastern Daylight Time or 15:00-23:00 Central European Summer Time. Yeah, I know, but I wrote them ten minutes after they sent out their mail and Bob did get a reply... Anyway, I ordered the Pacific and Shank/Cooper sets via Amazon Marketplace (as long as I don't have them I don't trust in getting them though...) And just to make that clear: I'm not at all pissed *at* Mosaic, but *by* this whole situation! I'm sure it hit them much worse than me! Still I've been angry since last evening... there ought to be a law against such actions!

much appreciated!

Thanks a lot, Adrian! I think I have the Washington saved at home... too bad about the Shank/Coop and Pacific trios and Don Pullen - those I'd have loved to get (also the Donaldson, Washington, Slack maybe). Got the Brookmeyer (great one!) and Patton (still unplayed, no urge for organ jazz of late), luckily!

nah you'se perfectly right sir... hence I shall not be angry any longer about having missed the Poppa Lou Mosaic... will gets me Sunny Side Up on RVG and retain the two or three olde ones and hence shall not have too much Popp-istic sameness in my life the diff'rence with RCA though seems to be that contrary to other labels, they often had more of those studio pro guys (you know, all those folks who turn up with Gil Evans, for instance, those multi-reedists etc, trumpet whisperers and all that...)

could those of you who at least managed to get the discographies please post them here? just so I can tear out my hair over what exactly I missed!? thanks!

Gee, I hate all this news - I immediately sent them a mail asking them to hold back some of those for me, but got no reply so far (probably they were flooded with orders)... I guess that's rather a bad sign, but I'd hate missing the Pacific Trio and the Shank/Coop!

Wow, this sucks big time! I didn't get the Pullen and Dexter and Johnny Richards in time, and I want the Donaldson, Pacific, Shank/Cooper and Pearson, that'll be mighty expensive!
