Before OJCs go away

[Kevin Bresnahan]

I'm not going to order any of these as Dusty's inventory isn't "live", so any orders that come in overnight don't move the CD to "Just Sold Out" until they manually update it when they open for business. Several times in the past, I've ordered CDs and gotten an E-mail saying it was sold the next day. It's happened a lot.

I don't consider that unusual by DG standards. I often check their "CD Deals" page and find a variety of Blue Notes, Prestige, OJC, ...

Here's a link to today's (12 Mar 2026) deals, many from the above labels on the first page: https://www.dustygroove.com/new-cds-under-9

It's a bit tricky, but I've found over the years that unless something has just been listed in the last few hours you are usually good. If there is a price attached to something not marked New (or that is marked New and has been on the site for at least a day) then you are good to go. I have only ever been scooped by things that were brand new listings.

I miss the days when Fantasy owned the OC catalog and I took great advantage of the $5 per CD media price, including boxed sets. I still missed a few before Concord Jazz bought Fantasy and proceeded to delete what seemed to be 80% of the OJC catalog.

I purchased six of those OJcs as well as a couple of other items I hadn’t pulled the trigger on yet. Nothing I wanted was out of stock. I would have purchased more but others I was interested were a little expensive, in my opinion.
