Got mine yesterday. Going through it today. Very good.

More Songs about Buildings and Food.

Back in the day I bought two or three of these in their original form on the Bayer label. But having all of them now is great.

Currently a $10 download! from Presto Music!

Villa Lobos

Both versions of the Sibelius 2 in this set.

I just noticed this thread now. I have lived in Pittsburgh most of my adult life (from college until now except for a few years for graduate school). While it has its ups and downs I like it (obviously). Anyway, if/when you find yourself here feel free to shoot me a DM or something if you have questions.

The Ella Fitzgerald & Duke Ellington Cote D'Azur Concerts On Verve

Disk 1, side 1 of The Complete Blue Note Thelonius Monk from Mosaic.

Apparently there is also an LP release that is in mono. But I can't find any more detail about it. https://victrola.com/products/max-roach-we-insist-mono

This album was apparently just reissued again in 2022 with a new mastering that's actually from tape. Seemed worth appending to this thread.

I got mine this weekend. I like it. But I have not previously owned the material in it. Great, great cover photo too.

Real CDs encode the data as physical pits in the media, which will theoretically last a long time. CDR and other recordable media encode the data using, among other things, colored dyes in the data layer. These dyes are light sensitive and will tend to fade over time, so you don't expect CDR media to last as long. These days I copy most of my disks to my computer and then make multiple backups ... before I did this the only "real" CDs that I ever bought that failed were from the Mosaic Art Blakey set, which apparently had some kind of widespread manufacturing problem because I've even tried to buy second copies of that set ... and those disks were bad too.
