    So, I went ahead and responded to a Mosaic E-Mail Proddy-Poke and ordered this thing the other day. Looks like it's not on back order or anything?

    I so do not need this set, what's to be had, I already have, and almost all of it on LPs. But hell, the Mobley Mystique is pretty much incurable, it looks like. Once bitten, forever infected.

    No complaints.

    Did it actually ship?

    It’s been awhile but I recall the Revenant 2CD of Taylor’s to be in mostly decent sound but with lo-fi alternative takes . My LP copy on Debut sounds vastly better though.

    Agreed. I actually spun it last night. A CD I bought last May and never got around to. Sonically its acceptable but nothing noteworthy. Musically its excellent. 

  5. Reflections on music in the time of COVID

    I'm listening more. Tuning into radio broadcasts on the weekend now which I never did before. Only consumed in my car. I've made a few purchases from Bandcamp. Finally got around to getting the Bob Reynolds tribute album to Hank Mobley and then he came out with a new one I pre-ordered and should get today. I wish I could support my local record shops but they make it too damn hard. I don't get why they aren't taking this time to go online, or creating newsletters. They barely have inventory on discogs. I tried paying cash and they balked at the idea, though this was the biggest shop in town and one of the few that sells new releases I was buying used items. I'm used to getting the cash "discount" at other spots.

    When you want to input a box set in Collectorz and the "Add Albums" search returns multiple individual discs you can click-select all the relevant ones and then click on "add as multi-disc album".

    There might be some hick-ups with just-released (or very obscure) items that might be not (yet) present in the Collectorz Core database.  

    In general, from my experience, Collectorz can definitely beat Excel (which I know very well - and love) in terms of speed of music data entry.  

    This is how I do it as well, Brad may want something that requires no input at all. I don’t know but to tell me you can’t do something that I’ve clearly done for a decade means he has determined he is right in his mind and I’m okay with that. I don’t care I’m anyone else ever uses Collectorz, but I’m glad to have it.

    I’ve decided to keep using Discogs and not Collectorz. I put in sufficient time inputting the albums into Discogs and don’t want to repeat the process. Moreover, Discogs has more information than Collectorz but I only need basic information. I also found that if you tried to input a boxed set into Collectorz, it would only do one disc so you’d have to repeat it several times for the remaining discs. For me, they are essentially the same. 

    That's not true. I have all my box sets in Collectorz as sets not individual discs. I don't really advocate for Collectorz especially if it is only by subscription but it is a wildly flexible platform. You can export to excel and mostly it imports release info from discogs.

    Live in Europe is just a re-ordered version of Ole i believe. 

     

    I enjoy Live in Paris. I also have Eye of the Improviser. It's a bit all over the place but enjoyable.

    I didn't know collectorz was a subscription now. I bought it long ago and paid a one time fee. the app was a separate fee. It's connected to discog's, that where it pulls most its information. I just manipulate after what information I want.

    Took it for a spin - barcode entry is great (for CDs), and picks up basic information (tracks, artist, album art). Don't see how to enter detailed credits, which is something I care about.

    detailed info is there for sure.you can enter where you purchase, how much, musicians, where recorded etc etc. Might not be available for free but it does all kinds of stuff. I can tell you how many albums I have with Vinny Golia playing on it with a couple clicks in the statistics field. 83 of the 1807 albums I own only behind William Parker who is on 84.

     

     

  24. 2019: Blue Note's 80th Anniversary

    I understand that we all want the best sessions possible, but we still watch Tiger shoot 6 over par. I would guess he wouldn't want us to see that. I mean the session is 60 years old. I say kudos for releasing it. I personally appreciate them letting me decide if I want to purchase it rather than wishing on a star to hear it.
