Good on purchases made April 24-30:

• Enter F4T32NY for 15% off orders $40 or more.

Not the greatest savings, but allright if you poke around long enough online.

In addition to that, all jazz is at least 20% off. So, play yer cards right, and you could save a significant amount!

Thanks for the heads-up, Al. I was going to "resist" using either of those codes ... until I learned of the additional 20% off. Some box sets start to become awfully attractive ...

Yes, I used the coupon to purchase the Tatum group box. It came to $61 w/free shipping. Not too bad!

(the lowest Amazon vendor price is $89 and CDU's price is $82)

Ordered four Black Saint titles — they came to $11.55 a pop (shipping included)! Didn't have David Murray's Home, and always wanted to pick it up. For some reason, Cadence doesn't carry that title.

The bastards charged me tax so it was a little more expensive than Late's order, but I got Paul Motian's Misterioso, Henry Threadgill's The Spirit of Nuff Nuff and the self-titled Old and New Dreams.

The last one is probably a dicey proposition since there's a 50-50 chance they'll send me the ECM version instead.

:huh:Cellar Door at Your Music = $35.94?

$5.99 per disc! :excited:

I won't understand why anyone in the U.S. wouldn't buy it from yourmusic.com. For your $70, you could get the Cellar Door box plus 6 other discs, no catches or commitments. It's a no-brainer.

Isn't Your Music like BMG or Columbia House issues, with different packaging (sometimes substantially different, in the case of box sets)??

Can't cite specific examples, but years ago when a college roommate of mine was a BMG club member, the stuff he got wasn't always the same as the "legit" issue, and I seem to remember a couple box-sets he got were long-box style, instead of being just like the version you could buy in stores. (And then there's that "club" stuff that's in place of the barcode -- not that I love barcodes, but I dislike the "club CD" text even more.)

$40 is a steep price to pay for no bar code!

Rooster,

As far as I can tell, ALL of the box sets I've ordered from YM are indistinguishable from the sets that can be purchased from other online merchants, and from bookstores like Borders and B&N.

I have the following from YM, and even though I don't have Cellar Door (yet!), I'd bet that it is no different. I'm sure others will chime in here if this is not the case.

* The Complete Norman Granz Jam Sessions

* Count Basie And His Orchestra - America's #1 Band - The Columbia Years

* Count Basie - The Complete Decca Recordings

* John Coltrane - The Heavyweight Champion: The Complete Atlantic Recordings

* Miles Davis - Seven Steps: The Complete Columbia Recordings 1963-1964

BUT, many (if not all) of the single CDs I've received from them DO have a different bar code. For instance, the Blue Note RVGs and Conns say "Mfg for BMG Direct".

Other than that, they also appear to be identical. I hope this helps! :)

What Skid sez. I also have that Basie set and, other than the bar code, it is completely indistinguishable from what you'd find at any bricknmortar.

I just looked at my copy of "America's #1 Band", and its bar code and packaging have nothing to indicate that it was from BMG. But, my copy of Basie "Complete Decca Recordings" does have "Mfd. for BMG Direct" underneath the bar code.

With or without BMG bar code... some very fantastic (and affordable) music is available on YM.
