Yeah, I had to put on Sneaking Sally when I found out...Hey Julia is cranking right now! RIP

Yeah, I have bordered ont he obsessive at points, but I will stand pat with my 60+ Zappa collection and my growing jazz shelf. I am picking up reissues as much as I can, and still getting rid of stuff slowly. Currently I have upwards around 700 cd's, a stack of vinyls and a huge (tape/cd) bootleg collection, which thankfully I basically stopped about a year ago. I can barely afford this obsession, but there it is. At least I am not a smoker. Packs of cigarettes cost almost FIVE bucks...Each!

I got a three, and I think about 7 months ago (when I was single) I would have scored a zero About twice a week. I am starting to get complaints, but I always blame it ont he coffee) No. I think so. But that has nothing to do with being "Metrosexual".

Now I know why I never rose above the ranks of the harried sales clerk. These guys had it TOUGH. ME? I have to tag and sticker 12 cartons of Multi-media product per day, 6 of those are dvd that need to be tagged, yet I only have keepers for 2 of those cartons and the space for only one. Somehow I can make all that shit fit...and everything is alpha'd on the shelves! But I do have it easy...I only have to do a minimum of customer service and I get first crack at all the promo copies that come in!

It took me about two minutes to find it, but I finally did and took care of the problem. Thanks Hans. Anyways, I am still only listening to disk one, but this set will be the perfect soundtrack to this paper that I need to write tonight. Actually, the mood of the music fits perfectly with the weather outside today!

Garsh...sorry about this guys! I kept getting an error message when I tried to send this, please ignore all but one of these posts.

Literally...on my doorstep. I just got home for lunch, sat down and heard something hit the pavement outside my window. The Airborne Express guy just tossed the package on my doorstep and then left...didn't knock...nothin'! Lucky I was home or anyone could have grabbed it off my doorstep. Eat? I just wanna sit here and listen, sounds good so far!

Woo-hoo...scored a TWO! Works for me...I think if I scored any less than that I wouldn't be able to look at myself in the mirror. My momma didn't rasie no SLOB!!!

WAIT!!! Stop right there...don't want to read any further!

Can I still be a Mobley completeist if I don't have, and never plan to get Reach Out?

I believe it was a Proper relese from a few years back. It isn't a cutout but a bargain priced double disk set. Looks tasty, but who the hell knows what it sounds like? I haven't heard anything from the Proper label yet, but people seem generally pleased withthe quality of these releases.

That scene spawned my favorite line fromt he show (as well as the Turkey line) "On the air? I AM the air" I also love the scene where the Big Guy uses the cocaine as foot powder! RIP Big Guy!

Yipes!! Sounds like this forum I heard about where these strange people rant on and on about jazz and... HANG ON!!!

Hoo boy, that was quite frightening. At first I thought I got hit with a virus but it wasn't that. Still very strange though, the shaking window thing was the worst of all...I thought I was going down for sure. Glad to see everyone back again and no info appears to be lost.

Why do you have to make a choice? Enjoy both for the music they present. It's difficult to comprehend ones own shift in listening tastes, and while I still do enjoy the Coleman Atlantics, I am finding the Hank BN's are more my taste these days. Not necessarily all of that music, but the Classic BN style of Hard Bop that the Mobley Mosaic holds for me. That being said, Ornette was the person who helped foster my love of jazz, everything else was kind of built around that. So, its not as much a choice as a natural progression.

I would like to fully echo this statement. It was also my first Mosaic, and it pulled my apreciation for Hank's music to the forefront. Previously my most prized was the Ornette Atlantic box, but over the years I am moving more towards the Hank camp, even though there are riches to be found on both sides! That being said, I don't feel a need to get everything Hank ever played on, as I am still on the fence about The Flip. I'll probably end up getting it, not right away but eventually.

I hate it!! No, seriously, I will know more when and if I get a promo copy in my hands before next Tuesdays release date!

Anything with the JB's on it!! MACEO!!!

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the Verve Elite series? I have seen that Alan Shorter disk, but otherwise, I dont think I have any of them.

Well, I almost immediately picked up BoB and BIABH as upgrades and Tracks because I have never owned it before. After that, I think I will wait on these until I can get them at a better price, or ask for a bunch of them for Christmas. I think I can wait that long as there are only about 4 or 5 others I really want to get. The SACD thing for me is a big bonus because, well I've had the same CD changer for almost 10 years now, and my next deck will be SACD/DVD-A/etc compatible. So why not start thinking about the future now!

How about Markcombshisjazzmoose? I hate my handle...it's stupid. On the BNBB I was Hankfan. I know you all wanted to know what became of him!

aparently not!!

I hope you got at least a fucking good trade in for these!!
