A partial set (discs 1,3&4) is still available from Mosaic...and you get a booklet numbered XXXX.

Good thing their shipping charge to my area is way too expensive...

I have several titles, acquired as new, with poorly cropped booklets and which look like they were produced from a deskjet colour printer. The discs on both sides are in quite poor shape too but playable. These are their earlier releases though - the more recent ones that I have are top notch quality.

Glad to hear many of the N.O musicians are safe. Wonder if GHB/Jazzology's founder George H Buck Jr is ok. Hope this doesn't put a major dent in the label's operations (of course that's a minor concern at this point).

Fantasy releases are a staple in my jazz-listening diet. There's such a wide variety of styles available under the various labels and, of about 500+ discs I've heard, only 2 have been disappointments. It's been 8 years of accumulating Fantasy titles and I'm still buying like crazy today. Like the others have said, please please keep the entire catalogue, or at least a large chunk of it, in print. And do keep the new reissues coming. btw - I'm from the other side of the pond (Asia) and know half a dozen jazz fans who have the same positive sentiments on Fantasy releases.

The complete sessionagraphy for The Complete CBS Recordings of Eddie Condon (Mosaic #152) can be viewed at: http://www.mosaicrecords.com/discography.a...umber=152-MR-LP. The information provided is for the LP set, though, and I have no idea if the ordering for the CD was changed, so be diligent in your comparison. ← Thanks, I'd already made the comparison. Wasn't clear in my earlier post - based on the LP listing, there are some duplications, but, there would also be some songs plus alternates not on the Collectables. This is assuming the material on LPs #5-7 are on discs 4&5.

Does anyone have the CD track listing for the Eddie Condon CBS set? I'm considering getting a partial set (discs #4 & 5) from Mosaic but would like to avoid too many duplications with the Collectables discs, which would be the case if the LP discography is anything to go by. Thanks!!

I haven't got a single Duke on LP.

Sam Rivers I'll part with a set if offered a .999 fine 1 oz gold coin a disc.

I guess EKE BBB has at least 176 discs...

V.nice pics! In Zurich With Count Basie

Mid next month Curtis Amy, Chambers, Reece, Brookmeyer, Patton Select Woody Herman, Donaldson, Farmer/Golson & partial Condon CBS (CD). Optimise shipping per disc.

Grabbing/grabbed a number of the Storyvilles plus Jackie McLean's Rites of Passage. Just yesterday, I made a pledge not to buy any more stuff for at least 3 months. -_-

Eddie 'Lockjaw' Davis and Shirley Scott "Cookbooks".

Thanks EKE for the link. I only listened to the '99 set once and decided I couldn't go through that noise again, great concert notwithstanding. Now, the Definitive looks tempting.

Lee Wiley is one singer whom I haven't quite warmed up to particularly on her own dates. I much prefer her occasional appearances on Condon's Town Hall concerts. Perhaps her style of singing is a bit much for me in larger doses. But she does well on the songbooks plus there is solid backing from the Condon gang. There are 2 Audiophile releases (Rodgers & Hart/Harold Arlen, Gershwin/Porter): These are lates 80s/early 90s remasterings so the sound quality IMO is not top notch but listenable.

All of these are on the wishlist!
