ghost of miles Posted December 17, 2004 Report Posted December 17, 2004 Supposedly, there’s another 60%-off/No-S&H sale with this code: L4LC9 But every time I enter it, it comes up as an invalid code. Someone wanna check that out and see if it works for you? Otherwise, I’m thankful that 888-number was posted a few posts back! Anyone? Big Al, try L4LC2. Just worked for me--I picked up a heapin' helpin' of Sinatra with it. Quote

WD45 Posted December 19, 2004 Report Posted December 19, 2004 Plus, they have Jerry Orbach's lone solo album for $1.99! I ordered mine this week. Yes, the same Jerry Orbach many have come to know as Lennie Briscoe on "Law & Order." Quote
frank m Posted December 19, 2004 Report Posted December 19, 2004 If you folks aren't checking out Daedalus from time to time, you're missing a good bet. I just placed an order for 12 cd's at 5.98 a shot. From Ben Webster to Bechet, plus a few at 2.98 and 3.98. Quote
Leeway Posted December 21, 2004 Report Posted December 21, 2004 Posted a few days ago about enrolling in www.yourmusic.com. Well, first bit of bad news is that my order for Ellington's "Piano in the Foreground" and Von Freeman's "The Great Divide" were backordered and CANCELED! No notice of that either, just checking my account I saw the cancellations. Also, an inquiry I made to them about some other items has gone unanswered. Looks like this might be a short relationship Quote

wolff Posted December 22, 2004 Report Posted December 22, 2004 I have a feeling that the yourmusic.com website used the wrong pictures for those 3 titles. They have the same stock # as the BMG standard CD versions. If they arrive and they are the MoFi SACDs, please let us know ASAP. They won't last long at that price... I'll order them in a millisecond. Later, Kevin Crap, the Soultrane is a K-2 not a Mo-Fi. Quote
Tjazz Posted December 27, 2004 Report Posted December 27, 2004 New : Miles Davis - Seven Steps 7-CD box set (yourmusic.com sells it for $41.95 plus tax/free shipping) Chet Baker : 3-CD box Oscar Peterson : Live at the Blue Note (4-CD) Quote
jazzkrow Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 Anyone taken the plunge and bought/received the Seven Steps boxset for $41.93 from yourmusic.com I wonder if it will have different packaging (no metal spine?) at this price? Anyone know? Quote
TomNYC Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 Because YourMusic.com is a BMG Music initiative, I suspect that it will be the same as any of the box sets available via the club. I got the Jack Johnson set via BMG and it was exactly the same as what was available in the store (metal spine). Quote
riverrat Posted December 31, 2004 Report Posted December 31, 2004 I'm thinking of rejoining the BMG club. I'm looking at the Creedence catalog. When BMG lists them as "remastered" does this mean the latest SACD hybrids? Given that they have the Bill Evans SACD listed as such (and not available as a free selection to new members) I am suspicious that the CCR titles are not the SACDs but earlier remasterings. Does anyone know for sure? Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted December 31, 2004 Report Posted December 31, 2004 The Bill Evans is the Fantasy SACD. They carry a few. The CCR discs are standard CDs, not the SACDs. Kevin Quote
J.A.W. Posted December 31, 2004 Report Posted December 31, 2004 Get the CCR hybrid SACDs, they're remastered by Steve Hoffman and superior to any other version. Quote
Parkertown Posted December 31, 2004 Report Posted December 31, 2004 I just pulled the trigger on the 7 Steps box from yourmusic.com. How could I resist at that price? Alice Coltrane's Translinear Light is coming too, and my music queue will be sending me Velvet Revolver today. Seems like an awesome deal to me. Perhaps I can finally get a 'real' copy of Trane's Heavyweight Champion box. $41.93 as well...Man that's hard to pass up...gotta wait a little while though... And I bet those CCRs are the latest K2 remasters. They blow chunks compared to the DCC golds, which were the best until the new AP SACDs. The problem with all of the CCR discs not mastered by Steve Hoffman is that they use the equalized tapes, not the true masters. These EQ'ed tapes have way too much treble and make them very fatiguing at high volumes. The DCCs or the new SACDs you can crank them as loud as you want and they can take it!!! B-) Quote

riverrat Posted December 31, 2004 Report Posted December 31, 2004 Thanks for the info folks. I will fill out my initial order with something other than CCR titles. Quote

That's cool, even though I completely disagree about the sound quality of those CCR K2's! (But then, what do I know? For me, the only way to hear CCR is high-trebly ridiculously-distorted!!! I may change my mind if I ever hear those Hoffman-mastered discs, though!) Edited December 31, 2004 by Big Al Quote

scottb Posted January 5, 2005 Report Posted January 5, 2005 The latest Conns are available. I've got the Hill and the Young. Are any of the others worth picking up? Quote
Big Al Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Posted January 5, 2005 The latest Conns are available. I've got the Hill and the Young. Are any of the others worth picking up? Jack Wilson's EASTERLY WINDS is my favorite of the bunch!!! Having said that, and mind you I’m not complaining one bit, but I don’t understand why BMG gets all the Conns, but have hardly any of the latest RVGs. I mean, from an accounting standpoint, it would seem to me that there’s less of a risk involved in getting the cheaper RVGs than the more expensive Conns. But make no mistake: I’m certainly glad they have the Conns! Makes me wish I’d waited on the Hill and the Wilson. Ah well; it was money well spent! Quote

I can't believe this-I gave up on thisever showing up in BMG and went ahead and got all the discs through Columbia House using some of my bonus points and 3 for 1 sales. I wish I understood how and when and why they get certain titles Quote
Tjazz Posted January 6, 2005 Report Posted January 6, 2005 (edited) Great deal on the Dylan Box. At $6/CD, gotta love it! I'll have to pick it up. I got the Miles Davis SEVEN STEPS box and it's sealed with no BMG label markings. Metal side clip too.
