Me too - just called Mosaic this morning. I haven't gotten an email from them yet indicating it's been moved to Running Low/Last Chance, but it seems like everyone that's put off getting this one is jumping on it quickly now. It's currently in the 'Running Low' section - hence the recent rush on it.

Johnny Hodges and Lang/Venuti Mosaics.

I just sent off an email to our friends at Mosaic requesting that a copy of the Venuti/Lang be added to my order. After listening to the sound samples, I was too intrigued to let this one pass me by. If the Prima/Manone is still available next month, I'll probably pick it up at that time... The Hodges, though, was an absolute, unquestionable, without-a-doubt MUST BUY.

Thanks for the heads-up on this. I ordered the Hodges -- the only one of the three CD sets in the Running Low/Last Chance that I absolutely don't want to miss out on. I've been putting that one off for long enough... Can't wait to finally hear it!

Good for you, man... Take care of that woman - she sounds like a good one!

Back in stock (again) at Dusty Groove. I'm attempting to resist the urge...

Thanks for the heads up on the HMV site... Ordered a copy of this today. When I placed the order, there was a message stating that the order qualified for free shipping. Is this really true? Free shipping all the way from Japan?! Huh...

Reissue or original?????? A compilation released a few years ago on Now Again Records (affiliate of Stones Throw Records). Here's a link. Mr. Johnson will be missed around these parts... His funeral was today.

Kashmere Stage Band - 'Texas Thunder Soul' ...followed by... Clarke-Boland Big Band - 'Off Limits' (Rearward reissue)

Yeah...I'm with ya. I just bought another, too. As an investment, a gift...whatever. At this price, how could I not? As a side note - Newbury is selling this same set for $89.99 in their EBay store. Gotta love those guys!

Yeah - that Pepper box is one I've been meaning to pick up for several years now. Actually, all three of these were...and several more, truth be told. I feel that it's now or never with some of these, the way so many things have been disappearing lately...

Yes, their prices are definitely all over the place. Just this past week, I picked up a copy of Woody Shaw's 'Song of Songs' (OJC) for $9.99 through their EBay store. The same day, they were selling this CD on Amazon closer to $40. I've seen these types of discrepancies numerous times with them. Also, for what it's worth, after purchasing close to 100 CDs from them through EBay within the past 6 months, I've never ordered something that was not in stock. Sooo... Chances are good that they've got a few of those Henderson box sets...

A couple of box sets from Newbury at prices too good to pass up... Art Pepper - Complete Village Vanguard Sessions Eric Dolphy - Complete Prestige Recordings and from Concord, because it's still on sale and I was able to get an additional 10% off (Code: CMG4) with free shipping...and because it's quickly becoming scarce... Charles Mingus - Complete Debut Recordings Whew... That's a lotta music.

I'd gladly do it, but my digital camera died in summer vacation. (R.I.P.) Sorry. Anyway the table is exactly like this: http://brinkmann-usa.com/lagrangeturntable.php Clic on the picture for a larger view Gorgeous. Would love to hear it...

How 'bout a picture or two of that new table, Porcy? Pleeeease?!

The bulk of my order (15 CDs) placed on 1/21 is still listed as "processing". I received an email from them a week or so ago stating that they were still trying to fulfill the order. Hmmm... I'm not in a big hurry or anything - I've got plenty of other new stuff to listen to; however, this experience will definitely make me hesitate to order from them in the future.

Just a quick heads-up for anyone who has an interest in this set and still has not picked it up at these incredibly low prices. It can now be found for $19.99 (plus $2.98 shipping) from Newbury Comics via Amazon. Here's the link. Doubt you'll be able to find it cheaper than that...

Purchased tonight from da Bastids... Tubby Hayes -- Tubby Hayes & The Jazz Couriers Featuring Ronnie Scott LP (Japanese pressing; reissue) Sahib Shihab -- Sahib Shihab & The Danish Radio Jazz Group CD Clarke Boland Sextet -- Calypso Blues CD Franz Koglmann & Lee Konitz -- We Thought About Duke CD Steve Lacy -- We See The Thelonious Monk Songbook CD Anthony Ortega -- New Dance (plus Permutations) CD

Yeah - that one went fast...again. A few days ago, I requested an email be sent to me when it came back in stock. I figured this record was long gone...didn't expect that they would actually get anymore copies. Then I got their email...and took action immediately! Timing is everything, I s'pose... They do have new copies of 'Sahib Shihab and the Danish Radio Jazz Group' on CD as of today, if you're looking for that one...

Man -- that was fast. A few of those discs are now listed as Out Of Stock at DustyGroove...and the vinyl editions that I picked up from CDUniverse are nowhere to be seen on their site. I did, however, spot this one over at DustyGroove -- newly listed as of today... Sahib Shihab and the Danish Radio Jazz Group Might be of some interest to some of you...

Just received Rearward vinyl editions of 'Our Kinda Strauss' and 'Off Limits' today -- from CD Universe, of all places. Was amazed that they were able to get them! Might be worth checking out if anyone is looking for them... Also, ordered a vinyl copy of Sahib Shihab's '...And All Those Cats' from Dusty Groove yesterday. Shipped yesterday. Unfortunately, they're listing it as 'Temporarily Out Of Stock' today. They have several other CBBB CDs listed as in stock, however -- 'Calypso Blues', 'More Smiles', 'Off Limits', 'November Girl'.... Better be quick!

Which one did you get? I got a brand new Lyra Helicon for half the U.S. price, that is one third of E.U. price, that kind of offer you can't refuse. At the moment I am playing it throgh a very cheap used NAD phono stage borrowed by my hi-fi pusher, I can't image how it could sound through a serious phono stage. I am on the market for a good used phono stage, preferibily with two MC inputs. Hard to find over here. edit: my mono records just resurrected like Jesus: old Beatles, BN, Riverside, you name it. I still can't believe it. Wow... I'm happy for you. That Lyra Helican must sound tremendous! Enjoy spinning those mono records...

'Sahib Shihab And All Those Cats' 2LP -- Back in stock at DustyGroove!

I've received quite a few CDs from Newbury recently. No major problems - very fast shipping, accurate orders... However, I have had atleast 3 discs where the barcode 'cut out' just missed the CD - and 1 that was damaged (a "u" shape cut into the edge of the disc) but still playable.
