  9. Listen I had this set I HATE Xmas music I like this set I got it and lizstened to the Merry ole Sole session ( albeint over xmas and it was areal bonnus...saved having all that over nonsense on Go for it....its worth it for the other lps on the set and this was a bonus for me
  10. I thnk that is the one I have....not too cool with the sound quality I must admit I alway rated both thinking at home and thrid season and a slice of the top as some of my favourite mobleys as they were more interesting although naturally I love the other stuff Andy
  11. Bev Just pm'ed you if you are still not any closer to getting them....a little help on offer from glossop
  12. HI Matey ...can help you with this Sent you a pm Andy
  13. Thats why I chucked em all in and went to cd and ok yes I miss LPs but have virtually 98% of what I had and wanted on LP ( with a few burns ) but I have a much larger more diverse collection and do not have the hassle anymore....and then with mp3's well need I say more I can sit here at work with 300 lps in my pocket ( and they sound great) ...mostly rips of my own cds and its here ...ready to play and rockin to. Spent too long searching for decent copies or japanese vinyl and got some awful scratched vinyl to go back I am afraid...always missing the covers of them though The other thing I did was sell what ever did not work for me or copies and that funds the new releases or reissues. I am also at that point now with the Blue Note collection where the missing items are single figures and or never been on cd...even managed to find a few of them too
  14. Absolutely the last thing I needed to see as I do not need distractions today but ...who cares? Brilliant link ...work will wait til later now.;.... Millie Jackson....she needs a special site all by herself
  15. Don't encourage the poor chap please. He will be teaching 'real science' in US schools next and none of that evolution 'nonsense' As it stands my favourite BFW track is Mo Rock .....got that groove already!!!
  16. I got mine yesterday and got a nice session last nice listening to all quickly ( skipped through) and then hammered disc 2 consistently as it was awesome. I have always liked Illusion and to hear another cut was really interesting. Usully with takes 2 3 etc I can take or leave em but this was really nice. His sax playing was erm ..ok but as a set it was lovely to see all this out in one go. I had one for one for a while and loved it but this was much better sound and everything. I am sooooo grateful for this set coming out and need to stick it on my mp3 player for greater concentration when I am out and about. BTW I like the soulful tracks also on the end of disc 1 too More comments later. BTW it will also be tempting me back to the other mosaic set too
  17. Hey check with one out...gotta be worth picking up , I mean ....John Patton and Grant Green.....what ya waiting for and £8.99.....craaaazy http://www.vinyl.com/product_id/LPATLA1494 #Seems a good site, miss this pbeaties on vinyl and regret selling them too sometimes but at least I hooked up with the Japanese cds now
  18. They are coming across the pond now too! We are in receipt of your Mosaic Records/True Blue Music order for which we thank you very much. The following items will ship within the next 24 hours: Item Qty Qty Qty Expected Number Description Ord. Shp. Bck. By ---------- ------------------------------ -------- -------- -------- ------- - MS-016 MOSAIC SELECT- ANDREW HILL 1.00 1.00 0.00 I must admit I cannot wait and will be checking out for the mail . It usually takes less than a week for my mosaics to hit here even surface. Does this mean I can ditch a cd burn of the double lp one for one??? I guess so Seems a shame
  19. Seems cool , I wqill get on and preorder my selct through mosaic then....maybe need to order 2 to justify the postage .Its what my wife would want me to do B-)
  20. damn ...thought I had scored a cheap way to get the new andrew hill Never mind...will have a look thanks for the advice Andy
  21. Excuse me butting in on this .....where are they distributed over here in Yurp then? I have always bought them direct and I never knew there was an EU distributor. Any help or ideas
  22. I can remember trading a whole bunch of Blue Note Lps ( nice ones too) for a Larry Young set in a shop over here ( Decoy Records) and this turned me on to Mosaic which I had heard of but at that point never seen.....it was the best thing I had ever bought....found out I could have bought it for half the price direct but what the heck it was free for me with the trade in as the lps never cost me much. I also remember ringing them and ordering the Tina Brooks lp set which was a revalation....really wished they had stuck the CD set of that out although I sold the set when the Japanese cds came out. The boxset was the very reason for me behind Mosaic. From there I dabbled with Herbie Nichols and bough tevery Blue Note set from then on and even caught up with the ones before before scoring the hardest to find for me....the Albert Ammons and Meade Lux Lewis. I used to really look forward to them being released and when they did produce a Blue Note set I would sulk until they would go mad and do say three in a row. My favourite still is probably the Larry Young but the Thad Jones were a nice deiscovery as I only had tapes of the lps before and the Lee Morgan BN set was good as was the Blakey and the Grant Green..........oh and the Elvin Jones and the andrew hill ............well the list grows as you can imagine. Least fav probably the Jimmy Smith. The interest for me was that for years I just read abou thtem coming out from Day 1 and never bothered with a credit card so could not get them at all for a while. I used to have to post moeny to my dad who would get them for me. I found I go t lucky a few times and scroed a few older ones there but even when I bid high on rare ones I never won them and got lucky for lots less. Now then , where is that Larry Young set.............
  23. I must admit , even though they are the first Blue Note recordings they still hold a very special place in my heart and finding the rest of them was a real bonus I must admit. Now and again, especially with Meade Lux Lewis, I get a reall buzz listening to the Blues on piano
  24. I have a faulty burn of the right Grachan Moncur set...does that count???
  25. Well of course I was IN the studio before they recorded them the first time around. I said to Alfred, this Hill guy will go far..............
