David Ayers Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 - it's box set El Dorado around these parts. Not at HMV London though, where I observed today that the Eldridge Mosaic was £99.99 and the Carmell Jones Select £59.99.. The Teutonic deals brokered by Alfred are better.. ← I got mine from amazon.de, but when I checked jpc I noticed the Selects were more than the full euro-mosaic sets. The Selects are evidently on a different deal altogether than the full sets. The three I ordered worked out a shade under £40 each. But I have to live with the non-mosaic serial number on the spine and NO individual numbering inside the booklet... I feel like I've cheated but I know I haven't. Have I?

Only if you've written your own individual number inside the booklet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunky Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Hadn't spotted this thread but wish I had, got the Basie Verve set from amazon.uk for £56 inc delivery which I thought was pretty good. First spin suggest sound is very much better that some of the LPs I have of some of the earlier sessions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Yes, there's mention of the big improvement in sound quality compared with original vinyl in a recent Jazz Journal International, which has a good review by Steve Voce of this set.

ejp626 Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Unfortunately, the great deals on a handful of Mosaics at Amazon.de are gone. Probably because too many people started importing them back into America. Were there any other sources? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjobbe Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 as said in the other thread.. www.jpc.de still sells at 60€/67€ (the Basie one). Cheers, Tjobbe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I had better make my mind up in the next day or two if I want to order the Eldridge (which is at the low price), since I suspect the prices are going to increase soon.
