In that previous thread, I leaned slightly toward the Hans/Brad side, not in terms of whether Rich deserves the Mosaic treatment, but rather in terms of whether I'd did so much of him. But I agree with Lon, the discography makes this look better and better, especially all the sets with Sweets on board. I anticipate this will be on the 2006 Mosaic Christmas requests.

I would certainly hope not, as once my queery was answered here I deleted the message and forgot about it. Even if I decided I really did want it, I'd have waited for the seller to relist, presumably at that .99 opening bid, and hope to get it a bit cheaper than my adrenaline-driven last-second bid.

Is it the effect of the hair loss is there something of an age difference between you two lovebirds? Seriously, Lora's real purty, you're a lucky guy and I wish you both all the best.

That countdown of course is also to the moment that you can no longer take part in the activity shown in your avatar.

Or maybe they're just discontinuing the box sets and dumping that stock? Were there regular OJC releases available at such a huge discount? Or just the box sets?

Obviously your shop owner knows nothing about the reason why he got such great pricing. But this is very distressing news, as it suggests that Concord is dumping stock, presumably the beginning of the end of what had been Fantasy's approach to their treasure trove.

Actually, 17 minutes til couw came through with the specific Roulette date.

Thanks guys!

Up!

Looking at an E.P., "Joe Sings The Blues", Williams with the Basie Band. Columbia SEG 8016 Date given is 1959. Tunes are Baby Won't You Please Come Home Ain't No Use Good Morning Blues Very confusing. Wasn't Basie a Clef or a Roulette recording artist throughout the 50s? It occured to me that this might be from the "Just The Blues" Roulette album, but the tunes aren't there, and that was 1960 anyway. Can anyone shed some light on how this one came about and whether the music is available elsewhere? Thanks!

Maybe not so "significant" but this was a pretty nice discovery/surprise:

Thanks, Lon. And Rod, I'll take your suggestion under advisement.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...83435%26fvi%3D1 I now have received a "Second Chance" offer to purchase based on my last bid. Apparently the winning bidder backed out ... the problem is, I really got caught up in the moment and bid far higher than I really wanted to, half suspecting that the high bidder was way above that anyway. Of course, there's also the suspicion that this could be a shill bidder, though I see no evidence of prior bidding on the seller's items. But be that as it may, I am mostly concerned with exactly what I did bid on, and is the music available elsewhere? I saw a Mingus sideman discography that said the McGhee/Edwards B side was on a "Topaz" McGhee comp. but the track listing showed no such tune, so it left me wondering. Thanks!

Personally, I don't need any further comments. It will be right at the top of my Christmas Mosaic list.

Anyone else see a disconnect between and ??

I'm not a member of the Hoffman forums so I'll post here what I'd like to say over there: Hold your horses, people! The information posted at the start of that thread refers to the individual Rick Flynn. NOT the business, Red Trumpet, LTD. The further fact that the website continues to process orders indicates to me that the company is still in business. As has been noted, Chapter 11 is the kind that precedes a reorganization, a new business plan, and another chance. Chapter 7 calls for liquidation of assets to pay off creditors. Now, it might make sense to keep the website operational for orders, but only if the orders are limited to what is on hand, i.e., a court-ordered attempt to sell, at near-full price, on hand stock in order to maximize funds available to creditors. Does this mean that I'm about to order something? Hell no! But I do think people are making assumptions based on facts not yet in evidence.

Personally, I'm takin' a break from the BFT thing for only the second time since inception.

Well, that puts you ahead of Miss Simpson herself.
