tonym Posted February 15, 2005 Report Posted February 15, 2005 I've never really checked much out on eee-by-gum-bay until the weekend when I was browsing car parts and jazz albums. Charlie Parker's The Complete Verve Master Takes was up so I waited until this afternoon, 10 minutes before sale closed, to make a bid. It's now mine for £12.50, including postage. Just don't tell me I need the alternates too..... Quote
Jazzmoose Posted February 15, 2005 Report Posted February 15, 2005 10 minutes??? Not seconds??? Amateur... Quote
tonym Posted February 15, 2005 Author Report Posted February 15, 2005 Well I think I must have been the only one browsing; the only other bid was days before and no others followed mine. Beginner's luck? So I need to hone some bidding skills eh? Does it get nasty on there? Quote
Jazzmoose Posted February 15, 2005 Report Posted February 15, 2005 Oh, it can. I remember the first time I lost a bid with ten seconds left...not enough time to get another bid in. That was an education! Quote
couw Posted February 15, 2005 Report Posted February 15, 2005 those alternates are a blast, though, and the false starts a must have! Quote

Chuck Nessa Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 Maybe I should let this pass..............wtf, the set does not include all the master takes. Quote
tonym Posted February 16, 2005 Author Report Posted February 16, 2005 Well it's the only Bird I have on Verve, so, it'll do the trick. Quote
RDK Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 Maybe I should let this pass..............wtf, the set does not include all the master takes. You have to read the fine print, Chuck. The official title, I think, is The Complete Verve Master Takes* *that fit on 3 CDs Quote
alankin Posted February 18, 2005 Report Posted February 18, 2005 Maybe I should let this pass..............wtf, the set does not include all the master takes. You have to read the fine print, Chuck. The official title, I think, is The Complete Verve Master Takes* *that fit on 3 CDs ...and that we didn't miss due to sloppiness... Quote
