Geoff

This certainly sounds plausible. he seemed like a really nice guy when I met him a few years ago.

wow, I'm so glad I caught this when it was still up!

where did everyone go?

I have a beat up copy of Sunny Murray/The Untouchable Factor-Charred Earth (Kharma 1) USA rec NYC 1/1/77

today I got Jean Renoir's The River (Criterion Collection) for only $9.95 new delivered to Australia. Amazing!

Hey guys, I'm back from my 2 month holiday in USA/England/Japan. I bought a whole ton of records during my trip. One of my favourite stores was the Disk Union Jazz Store in Tokyo. Very nice vinyl collection.

Hey Chaney and company, I leave for the United States on Saturday. I'd like to go to see some jazz concerts with you guys from NYC. There's a few Roy Campbell Jnr concerts at the Stone that I'd like to see, in late September.

can someone explain this to me? Tina Brooks' True Blue currently at $1075, reserve not met. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TINA-BROOKS-True-Bl...1QQcmdZViewItem

I have a couple of PSI albums, signed by Evan Parker himself

I think I've spent a little too much lately. Today I bought a trombone from ebay.

d'oh I think I'll have to give this a miss.

man I want to get this, but I need to know how much it will cost to send to Australia. It's almost 2am and I have work tommorow at 7am. I can't wait any longer I'll stick around for another 5 minutes.

quick, how much for postage to Australia?

I've bought Victo records for only $10 AUS ($7.50 US approx) in Australia!

if only I lived in America, shipping wouldn't be as bad as it is in Australia

Welcome to the adult world of reckless spending, Geoff. I normally buy either form lables or artists directly. Many of them are not set up to receive credit card payments, but most accept payments through PayPal. I would highly recommend you setting up a PayPal account (free, but they do fuck the foreginers up on exchange rate). Of resellers, the ones I use the most are: Indiejazz - good (and constantly growing) selection, excellent prices, great service. Erstwhile distro - in addition to Erstwhile releases, carries a lot of EAI music at very good (best, I'd say) prices. Excellent fast service. Cadence - the main online source for improv music with good prices. CDBaby - some really good (and obscure) stuff here with $5 sales and very generous sound samples for each disc. Good brousing system. Flawless service. CD Connection and CD Universe - two "mainstream" on-line stores. Good for US releases mostly. I prefer CD Connection due to better international shipping rates, but CD Universe has a nice promotion on recently-released CDs (Jazzmatazz site has a list of upcoming CDs with direct links to corresponding CD Universe pages). Jazzos - best source for Italian labels. Good shipping rates. The owner, Marco Valente is very knowledgeable about Italian music and will gladly give you recommendations. Check out his own Auand label. 2001 - small selection, but occasional great deals. Shipping costs might be prohibitive, though. Finally, the most enigmatic of them all, The Music Resource - has some very good prices for many labels (e.g. Emanem), but has very inaccurate availability database (50% of what you order is likely to turn out to be unavailable) and is extremely sloiw (expect to wait 2-3 months if you place a big order. There are more: Jazzloft, Forced Exposure, Squidco, Verge, DMG - but I haven't used them too much so can't comment on them. ← thanks for the guide

how much for postage to Australia?

I finally got a credit card guys! Give me some links so I can start using it.

now I'm spinning my copy of this

Warne Marsh Meets Lee Konitz Again (PaUSA, 1977) This is a pretty great rare recording from the two former Lennie Tristano sidemen. They are both in good form, and the session comes from a live recording at Ronnie Scott's in 1976.

I quite like this Herbie Nichol's tribute album Some very solid bop piano playing. Mike Melillo also covers some Monk on the album too.

Leo is a great label. My all time favourite Leo release is still Sergey Kuyokhin's A Combinations and Fingers and Passion. I sent a copy of it to John B, and I bought a copy for my mother who I am slowly getting into jazz . I live in a topsy-turvy world.

wow the Document box set is on emusic! I really need to sign up for that thing.

I listened to VIrtuosi last night. I really liked it.

I am also a fan of the Glenn Gould version
