A timely reminder of the riches which were available on Collector's Choice. Just looking in Mosaic Brochure 17, which had a True Blue flyer listing some of these. There was also Bill Potts 'The Jazz Soul of Porgy and Bess'. Fond recollections of when these items appeared - I'd struggled to find 'Oblique' in the shops until CC delivered the goods.

Picked up a whole wadge of these also through that special offer from Tower a few years ago publicised on the BNBB. The Potts and the Randy Weston were acquired through that route. About $5 each I recall...

I loved that series. I remember buying about 15 in one week-end, something I usually never do. There were some titles that were gone real fast (Delightfulee). I was out of town on business on the Tuesday they came out, and when I came back on Friday, I had to hunt all over D.C.

In Blue Note's defense, a lot of the hard-to-find titles are now appearing as RVGs. Without wanting to start the sound quality topic again, some of them have real wierd sound.

I boldfaced the ones that have since been reissued. The Chambers, Elvin Jones, Thad Jones, Mitchell, Moncur, Parlan, Rivers, Weston, and I think also Gerald Wilson and Patton titles have also since come out as part of their respective Mosaic sets.

Edited to reflect updates and goof-fixing.

Freddie Hubbard Open Sesame

Unusual to have 2 copies sitting on eBay at one time. That's one to grab.

I'm not the seller........don't know the seller(s)...........don't want to know the seller(s) unless they can get me a 50L keg of Erdinger Weizenbier for Oktoberfest icon10.gif......etc..
