Tony, this is an indispensable set. I'm sure you can find it used; I found mine for around the same price as Vibes, around $175. It hasn't changed a bit since I bought it. The music? Well, I love so much of it. There's the set with Stan Getz and Elvin Jones! Some cool in between song chatter on that session. A set with a symphony orchestra that has a vibe about it that I really dig. There are lots of live sets, with numerous unreleased tracks from the live sets with Chuck Israels and Larry Bunker or Philly Joe Jones in California, from 65 and 67 respectively, I think. I like the Trio '64 and '65 albums and you also get both of the overdubbing experiments: Conversations With Myself & More Conversations. The Montreaux set from '68 previously mentioned is a classic set, where they had the audience in the palm of their hands. Also a few rare albums, probably only available on imports. Bill Evans Trio at Town Hall, with the wonderful solo medley subtitled "In Memory Of His Father". Oh, also the album with Jeremy Steig. It's 18 discs, but a really great set. The booklet is great too. Several different points of view offered. One of my favorites. But then, Bill Evans is one of my favories; everything he played was always beautiful. The sound... Wow vibes: your set has quite a bit of rust. Does it come off on your hands? Mine sure doesn't. Dry as a bone...

Here's one more, of the inside. It's perfect! No rust at all.

I've been considering this thread for a while now. Occasionally, I'll see posts that complain about this box set, specifically it's packaging. Mine is in pretty much the same condition as it was when I bought it used. The amount of oxidation (or rusting) hasn't increased much, if at all. I wonder if it's because of the dry climate here in Colorado. People always say stuff like "be careful not to get rust all over your hands, etc.". It's just not that way with mine, so I'm intrigued. So, I would love to see pics of your set and your thoughts. Here's mine:

I love this show, but my wife get annoyed by it. She says, " He's such an asshole!" Man, he just won't let shit slide you know. He's always got to push it. Cracks me up!

I remember the first time I heard this set, I though Miles must have been drunk! As Tony said, once I got past those initial "blemishes" it really opened up for me. Endless possiblilites in this set...

Nice post Free For All. B)

Jump in anywhere! I agree that this set hits me differently almost every time. But the rewards are there, you just may not hear them on first listen...or second... B)

Have you checked eBay? There are a ton of Mosaics that were just recently listed by one seller. Some are getting quite a few bids, some aren't. Check it out...

MD Quintet 65-68. Blazing a trail...outstanding compositions...This band could just beat the shit out of every other band (IMO).

We used to get those digital artifacts (pixelization) from our dish, but it has really improved a lot since then. Usually on really dark scenes. I think it also may have to do with the type of tv you use. We have a 41" Toshiba widescreen projection tv. Some friends who have the same system we do never had these image problems on their Sony Trinitron picture tube tv. Hopefully Greg, you can customize a "favorite channels" guide within your Program Guide to list only the channels you enter into it.

They're coming through just fine with my browser. Very cool! Thanks guys.

Don't 'spose you could grab one for me, eh? If so, please PM. Thanks Stefan.

Now that's fast, Jan! You must be the only one with a cable modem on your hub. B)

We use a Dish Network setup with a built-in DVR (digital video recorder-"TIVO"). We've been very happy with it. The only time we've had problems with reception was during extremely windy rainstorms; I think it was our huge pines swaying in the backyard that caused problems with the dish's sightline. I hope you got the one with the DVR. You'll love it! Tons of programming choices too. And the commercial-free music channels are really good too. The traditional jazz channel plays a real diverse mix of tunes. Enjoy!

B3-er totally nailed it! I hadn't considered that before, but it makes complete sense.

How bad, or how long are these defects? What songs are affected? Because I was sure looking forward to this one. Thanks for the tips!

I'm hopping on this too. Getting the AEC box, $25 off. Super sweeet!

Come on back Mny! Hope you're well. I need to jaw with you about this Led Zep DVD!!! Finally got mine. It's just so feckin' awesome!

Hey Aric, Did you sneak in?

Love that cover. Anyone know if it's a daily calendar, or a monthly calendar?

I'm pretty sure of the answer, but just in case... These are the catalog brochures they mail out, not actual booklets from the box sets themselves, right? Thanks Stefan.

Thanks for the reply relyles!

Was this recorded?

Way to go, Mr. & Mrs. J! You are truly blessed.

Oops, I beleive I'm wrong about Hipnosis...
