sidewinder Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 No danger there! Even if I had one on order, it takes about four days to get to Texas. Heck, Mosaic only take 5 days to get to the UK normally, with the yellow advance invoice hitting the letter box at day 4. You on 'snail mail' there in Texas, Lon?

Tony Pusey Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Chaney, my wife is Dutch! but I suspect you only have 2 mono set ups and you want to hear it in Stereo right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejp626 Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Awwright, mine just showed up as well! No. 42. Probably this will be the only time I ever break 50, since I just don't pre-order Mosaic sets, but this seemed to be the right occasion.

mgraham333 Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Got mine this morning. #53 I'm just making my way past the Meet The Jazztet material which I already had. So far so good. I had hoped they might bump up the volume of the Killer Joe intro. I've just casually flipped through the booklet, but there seem to be some really good photos in this one.

Brad Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Thanks to the Jazzmatazz site I've just found that this set is available from CD Universe for $91.21! (although described at the "Complete Verve sessions"). Link to CD Universe Never noticed this with any Mosaic sets before. Interesting - a much better price. I wonder if the packaging is identical, if the set is numbered, etc. It's probably the same thing as the Mosaic. I'm sure Verve is not putting anything out different. If you look at Mosaic, it says that it's by Universal and manufactured by Universal. Don't explain me to explain the legal niceties since I don't know them myself.

Jim R Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Finances have kept me from purchasing the last four or five Mosaics. . . For me, it's that, and the fact that I always have 90+ % of the music already. Same sad story for the Turrentine, Vaughan, Donaldson, Farlow, Vee Jays, etc etc. Sets I've wanted (and suggested) for years and years, but have managed to all but assemble myself via import CD's and CDR's of OOP LP's over the years. I'd love to have complete sets, and those terrific booklets, but I just don't have hundreds of dollars to throw around (especially when I keep spending what I have on individual jazz and brazilian CD's)... I COULD buy them anyway, but with two kids headed for college... my conscience intervenes. I wish Mosaic had gotten some of these sets out years ago...

Brad Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 I received this set this morning and while I have some of the sessions (5 out of 12, which will be going to ebay soon), purchasing it was an easy decision for me. I've been listening to the first couple of cds at work and this set is good it's scary. It's easily going to rank up in my top 3 favorite Mosaics, along with Hank's and Sonny's Mosaic.

Maybe I shouldn't feel so sorry for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejp626 Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Hmmm. I am listening to disk 7, which is Take a Number. I am finding severe distortion on tracks 5-9 and skipping, really beyond what I think Mosaic would release. I think it must be damaged. I may try burning a CDR, but I wanted to see if anyone else had this problem before contacting Mosaic, so I can give them a head's up.

At first it sounded like someone playing a tambourine. I'm going to email them right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 I just called Mosaic and the distortion is bad on all Disc 7s. They've notified the manufacturer and they're going to replace them all when they get them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertblues Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Set #50 arrived and first impressions are: sound is great, booklet is REALLY a good one with many pix & lots of input by Golson-it's a 20-pager this time! I can already tell this set is gonna be way up on my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess we've got another "collector's item" on our hands, though anyone that would pass the damaged disk off to somebody else is lower than a rattlesnake's belly. Too bad, I actually planned on starting with Take a Number, even if the concept is a bit gimmicky. But there is plenty else to delve into while waiting for the replacement disk.

Yep, disc 7 is definitely a bummer! Since it's Mosaic, I'm not even gonna worry about it-they'll fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Ejp626 deserves all the credit, not me. I just listened to the disc after he mentioned it. It seems that after the fourth track the rest of the disc is bad. Can't imagine why it would be a collector's item though. It's unlistenable. I'd underadand if it was a Moncur situation. Mine's in the garbage as soon as I get the new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I didn't put in my smiley face. I was thinking about the Moncur disk and how some people (even on this board) were wondering if it would indeed become a collector's item just like those stamps that were printed upside down. But no fear, I will also throw mine out once the replacement arrives. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrdlu Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 May we assume that Malcolm Addey has again done a fine job with the sound? I sure hope that the culprit reimburses the good folks at Mosaic for the huge expense of sending out replacements for disk 7. A big corporation could easily absorb such an expense, but it has to hurt such a small outfit, especially following the error with the Moncur set a year or so back.
