Joined in September 2003. While I have a good number of postings, I never considered myself a very active member here.

Thanks John for the recommendation. I will definitely put this on my wish list.

If there was a past thread, please direct me to it. Otherwise I welcome some recommendations. Thanks!

I'd be in on that!

That's fantastic! What are your impressions of that set. Very curious. Thanks for your input on the Ferguson set. I actually sat on that for 24 hours or so taking a chance it would still be available.

Thanks John. I feel I made out really well.

Congratulate me if you like. I just found the Ferguson Mosaic Roulette on eBay for $230 not including shipping in "like new condition". Yep, all 10 discs including box and booklet. It should be in my possession by the end of next week. Merry Christmas to me!

The last few years I've been very curious about the Jazz scene outside the US. Mostly from the era from the 1950s- '1970s. I have explored some recordings from Sweden, Poland, Germany Japan, etc. While I do have some Tubby Hayes and a few other British artists, I was kind of curious. I see this particular box set and was interested in other people's input. Is this something I should be also considering? https://a.co/d/b986BR5

I might be interested but possibly already own most if not all of the releases contained within the set. Could you please let me know the titles contained before I make a decision one way or another? Thank you!

While jazz will be my primary interest to the day I die, I have found myself revisiting music in the rock world that I missed out growing up. Gotten into Deep Purple and Rainbow, Thin Lizzy and other bands of that ilk in the past few years. With the passing of Ozzy I have so far picked up four of Sabbath's releases. The debut album Black Sabbath, Paranoid, Volume 4 and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. In the coming weeks I'll most likely get Masters of Reality and Sabotage. Even the reunion album 13 sounds pretty damn good to me even though Bill Ward isn't on the session. I guess at the time metal just didn't hold much interest or I just thought it wasn't for me. I have to say it's been great fun to go back in time to visit these classic recordings.

Very cool!

Well I was given a heads up by forum member Kevin this morning who told me it was available (Clayton) on Dusty Groove for $70. Yeah, you heard that right. I snapped it up.

I've been listening to Hang In There this morning. Sounds great! I realize those Steeplechase releases don't always come cheap, but it sounds like a must own.

Ok, let's hope one day all these releases make it to physical copies. In the meantime from this extensive list what should I be listening to? Alot of this is "new" to me. Listening to Harold Vick right now!
