Got an email today from New World Records listing a new reissue of Julius Hemphill’s Dogon A.D. Multiple digital options as well as a CD. https://www.newworldrecords.org/products/julius-hemphill-dogon-ad?mc_cid=9406da9419&mc_eid=897bcdb117

Finally got a tracking number today.

No word from Mosaic on my order yet.

Say what you will, but ‘90’s Dead was my Dead. Now, 4 of the 6 members I saw (Jerry, Bob, Phil, and Vince) are gone.

I can’t speak for CD Japan specifically but, generally speaking, there have been tariff changes that may be at work. The “de minimus exemption that allowed packages worth less than $800 to enter the U.S. duty-free” [USA Today] has been ended by the administration. Sites like Bandcamp and EBay now have notices that some items may involve new fees or may not be shipping to the U.S. There may also be lengthy delays at customs because no one really knows how to handle any of this. I have a job that is directly affected by these delays. For me personally. purchasing anything outside the U.S. is now off limits (probably the point).

PM sent on the Braxton 20 and 23 Standards sets.

Mine arrived today. Never doubted it. And, yes, same here with Dot Time.

Got a shipping notice early this morning, no tracking. Actually, I don’t think that I ever received any notices for the other volumes, they just sort of randomly appeared, which is fine by me.

I might just do that. Thanks.

So I have been pushing around a couple empty Mosaic boxes that were damaged in transit. Mosaic replaced them at the time. But does anyone have a suggestion on what to do with the damaged boxes? I’d hate to throw them away but would like to clear them out. Maybe someone with a box-less set would want them. FYI: They’re the Ellington 1936-1940 Small Group Sessions and the Louis Armstrong Columbia & RCA Live Recordings.

They do licensed reissues of discs that the major labels let go out of print. They’re real CDs, not CD-Rs. There’s a local store that stocks some of these and I bought “The Gregg Allman Tour” which I missed when it was reissued about 20 years ago. Very pleased with it. Think I might have another title as well but can’t remember. If the price is right, go for it.

Mine arrived today. Never got a shipping notice, just showed up. No complaints as long as they keep coming. I think the volume number is on the cover, so that “no-7911c” is vol. 11.

In case no one else has mentioned it, the Emanem/Psi website, previously closed for the winter, now states the following: This web site is closed for sales due to ill health. I am not expecting to issue any new CDs, nor to reissue or repress any CDs. M.D. http://emanemdisc.com/

PM sent on Albert Ayler: At Slugs Saloon 1966 Revisited (Ezz-thetics) $10 (still sealed) Albert Ayler: Lost Performances 1966 Revisited (Ezz-thetics) $10 (still sealed)

So anything goes if you contribute to jazz.
