Isn’t the price a little high? One could get a copy for around 60 or 70 euros elsewhere on the internet?
I researched prices on discogs, eBay, etc, when I first posted this for sale and the lowest price at that time was around $200. Where are you seeing it listed for 60 or 70 euros? Are you sure those listings are the same edition as this one? This is a copy of the nice, larger (12” x 12” box) original edition. I think there was a cheaper edition released a few years ago in a smaller no-frills package. That edition does sell for less but is not the same quality as this larger edition. Thanks.

The best time to use the store is when they’re having a sale.
The problem is that buying Tone Poets at the Blue Note store when they have a 15% or 20% or 25% off sale is still more expensive (when shipping cost and tax are added) than buying from Amazon and some other places.
I received a 10% discount code from Blue Note when I registered at their site a month or two ago and ended up not buying anything because a single Tone Poet lp would still have cost me $38 after the discount when shipping and tax were added in. I bought most of my Tone Poet lps from Amazon for $26 each (btw, Dusty Groove also has a lot of the more recent Tone Poet lps for $28 each. I bought 2 of my Tone Poets from them).

Dexter's One Flight Up & Hill's Passing Ships have to be set up as huge sellers within this line. Both are preorder right now. Anyone going in for them? I have Passing Ships on CD so may skip that one. But I don't have OFU in any format, but frequently stream and love Tanya. Betting that's going to sound really good on this reissue.
I will definitely get both of those upcoming Tone Poets. I do not have any versions of those in my collection and the Tone Poet releases will be welcome additions.
I just discovered the Tone Poet series about 2 months ago and have bought 10 Tone Poet releases in that time. imho, the Tone Poet series is the best quality and value in vinyl. The sound of the Tone Poet releases is amazing - perhaps the best sounding vinyl I have ever heard (all except Andrew Hill's Black Fire, which does have some kind of flutter or other sound issues; the Hoffman forum has hundreds of pages on it; "warblegate" is what I think they call it). And they are packaged in beautiful gatefold sleeves with great Blue Note b/w photos in the inner gatefolds. Quality all around.
And most of the Tone Poets can be found for $26 on Amazon (w/free shipping). That is a great value for audiophile vinyl in today's over-hyped and over-valued new vinyl market.
Also, a tip: do not buy from the Blue Note store if you can avoid it because the Blue Note store sells the Tone Poets for list price ($35 for single lps), then adds over $5 for shipping, so the total cost (with tax added) would be over $40 per lp at the Blue Note store. That is even too much for me. I bought most of the 10 Tone Poets I have for $26 (plus tax) on Amazon. And Amazon packages these wonderfully (unlike how Amazon packs most of their products). Each lp is shipped in a quality cardboard record mailer that fits the lp perfectly and then that is placed insde a much large box for extra protection. All of my Tone Poets have arrived in perfect shape.

I can't believe it. I scooped up The Count Basie Complete Roulette Studio Recordings for $269! I've been wanting that set for years but never wanted to pay the big price going on eBay. Sounds like talking to the salesperson the set is in pretty good shape.
Congrats. That is certainly a tough one to find at a decent price.

They have most of the sets priced very reasonably and no doubt they will sell quickly. It would be hard to find a lot of those sets at cheaper prices.
But I do agree that they do have one or two sets priced on the higher end.

Are we sure it's not targeted for an April 1 release?
Perhaps it will be April 1, 2022, ha.
Still no word about it on the Mosaic website, or anywhere else.

Anyone have either of the LP sets that Roaratorio put out that are still in print: The Intergalactic Thing or Sun Embassy? Good vinyl quality? Albums pulled from tapes during the Philly era so the music's good I'm sure.
Their other one, Sign of the Myth went OOP quick as it was one of the forsaken Impulse sessions...
I have all of the Roaratoria Sun Ra lps that you mentioned - The Intergalactic Thing, Sun Embassy, Other Strange Worlds, Sign of the Myth.
Roaratoria does a very nice job: quality pressings and nice record sleeves, artwork, etc.
My favorite of those 4 is probably The Intergalactic Thing - great music and sound quality. Other Strange Worlds is wonderful as well and is kind of a companion to the legendary album, Strange Strings, in which Ra gave each musician an instrument other than the musician's chosen instrument and had the musicians play insruments they were not familiar with. Great stuff.
The only one of the 4 I was somewhat disappointed with was Sun Embassy. I bought a copy of that one last month and the sound quality and music is rather all over the place. I am sure the sound quality has to do with the original tapes not being in the best condition. The music consists of recordings/rehearsals at the Sun Ra house in Philadelphia. It is a mixed bag. Some songs are really good and others are definitely just rehearsal bits and fragments. Sound quality also unfortunately varies quite a bit from song to song on that release. I would say that Sun Embassy is really only for the Sun Ra completist.
But I can highly recommend the other 3 records - The Intergalactic Thing, Other Strange Worlds, and Sign of the Myth. Excellent music and sound quality.

Going to start a separate thread for this in the Jazz in Print forum, but wanted to add here as well—an excellent overview from Mr. Mark Stryker:
I enjoyed reading that.
It is an excellent (and affectionate) portrait of the many personalities of Chick Corea the musician and Chick Corea the man.
Thanks for sharing.

I just heard about this. What a loss!
From Miles to Return to Forever to myriad other bands (Circle, Origin, etc.), he always created great music! He was/is one of the greats.
Ironically, I just received in this morning's mail the new Tone Poet lp release of his first album, Now He Sings, Now He Sobs, which I had ordered from Amazon 4 or 5 days ago.
I will be playing a lot of his music this weekend.

that's not bad. By the way, they should be coming from Lithuania, not Latvia.
I was wondering about that...their ebay listing shows the location as Riga, Latvia...but the mailing envelope does look like it was postmarked from Lithuania.
Regardles of which location it was shipped from, shipping was quite prompt, especially compared to the mess that is the USPS these days.
-
I just received Volumes 2, 3, and 4 today. Shipping only took 12 days from a Latvia to upstate NY. That is quite impressive, considering that it took longer (over two weeks) for 2 CDs I ordered last month to arrive from Maine and Buffalo (each about a 4-5 hour drive from where I live)!
I look forward to listening to at least one or two of the volumes this weekend.

I checked discogs after seeing your post and did not see any sets for sale at 60 or 70 euros. There is a less expensive set listed for sale in Austria but that one lacks the box and book. And there is a set listed in France for around $125 USD but it is only a Very Good copy and, when shipping to the U.S. is included, I believe the price would be above my asking price. Median sales price on discogs is a useful starting point but one has to be careful in using it because it reflects past sales and not current value. It is more useful in pricing still in print items than for out of print sets, whose scarcity and price may swing a bit over a few months or year. For example, a hypothetical set that sold for $125 a year ago may now be scarcer and sell for much more. Just my thoughts. Thanks for letting me know about the concern regarding my price but, after looking at discogs and eBay today, I think my $160 price is a fair price for this 15 CD set that is in mint condition, out of print, and getting scarcer. But I will definitely monitor pricing trends on the secondary market and will be amenable to adjusting my price downward in the future if that is how the market is trending. I recently had sone interest for this set on an audiophile forum of which I am a member but nothing definite yet. Thanks again. I appreciate your feedback.
