Jim Dye Posted December 20, 2005 Report Posted December 20, 2005 My card was charged today. 39.19 plus 7.99 for shipping. Expedited with tracking. No email or tracking number yet. Quote
GregK Posted December 20, 2005 Report Posted December 20, 2005 just got my email with tracking #. It says 2nd day AIR-I thought it was ground!! So my ETA is Wednesday, not Thursday as I had been expecting. Now if I can just convince my wife and kids that this is Christmas music! Quote
BFrank Posted December 20, 2005 Report Posted December 20, 2005 Oh..............it IS Christmas music ... Quote
jazzbo Posted December 20, 2005 Report Posted December 20, 2005 Mine is scheduled to arrive Friday! Here's hoping! So glad to get it at this price! Quote
mikeweil Posted December 20, 2005 Report Posted December 20, 2005 My old friend, the leader of the jazz department at the Frankfurt Saturn-Hansa store, told me yesterday he has a release date for early February (!) and will make a price below the € 70.00 mark. Quote
Eric Posted December 20, 2005 Report Posted December 20, 2005 mine says shipped yesterday (Monday) with Priority Mail, so I am guessing it gets here this week Quote
dova Posted December 20, 2005 Report Posted December 20, 2005 Well: I just went to Border's and picked mine up using a 30% off coupon that expired yesterday. Also plopped down to big gift cards from my October birthday and paid a whopping $22.82 for the Cellar Door Box. Would like to take the rest of the day off and start listening but will have to wait. Can't wait to get everyones reaction to this long delayed and highly anticipated set. Dova Quote
Soul Stream Posted December 20, 2005 Report Posted December 20, 2005 Yeah, just went by Border's and they had it...there in the flesh so to speak. But at 102 bucks retail, I didn't pick it up. Quote
Guy Berger Posted December 21, 2005 Report Posted December 21, 2005 I saw a bunch of copies at the Campbell, CA Tower Records today. Guy Quote
GregK Posted December 21, 2005 Report Posted December 21, 2005 anybody have a review of it yet? Quote
jazzbo Posted December 21, 2005 Report Posted December 21, 2005 Here's one: http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=18394 Quote
Guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Posted December 21, 2005 To my surprise, mine arrived in the mail today from CD Universe, one day after it shipped. Fantastic! Can't wait to crack it open tonight. Quote
Eric Posted December 21, 2005 Report Posted December 21, 2005 (edited) CD Universe lists this as their top seller (today). Interesting. Monk/Coltrane is still no. 3 over at Amazon. That is damn impressive. I would guess there are decent marketing $$$ behind this, but still. I think it showed up at either Pitchfork or Pop Matters as one of their top 2005 records. Hell, Parker/Gillespie is no. 216 at Amazon. Not too shabby. I sincerely hope the folks that buy these (or receive them as gifts) enjoy them. Boy, if you consider yourself an open-minded music lover, I would think these might have a shot. I turned a friend on to Live-Evil a few years ago. He is a Parliament/Funkadelic fan and so L-E was a natural step forward. Edited December 21, 2005 by Eric Quote
bertrand Posted December 21, 2005 Report Posted December 21, 2005 So, is this thing copy-protected? Bertrand. Quote
jazzbo Posted December 21, 2005 Report Posted December 21, 2005 Word from an AAJ reviewer is no, this is not copy-protected. Quote
Guest Chaney Posted December 21, 2005 Report Posted December 21, 2005 My set arrived with a metal spine. Anyone else? Quote
GregK Posted December 21, 2005 Report Posted December 21, 2005 not metal here. so where is this sticker they had to put on back in october? I don't see it anywhere Quote
GregK Posted December 21, 2005 Report Posted December 21, 2005 wait, now I see it. It's on the last page of the booklet, where the credits are. Quote
GregK Posted December 21, 2005 Report Posted December 21, 2005 Didn't Chris Albertson write back in 1970 that there were reels and reels of tapes from the Cellar Door? Then why does it say on the back of this box set that these tapes were newly discovered? Where were they in the meantime? Quote
mikeweil Posted December 21, 2005 Report Posted December 21, 2005 (edited) anybody have a review of it yet? down beat published one in its October issue and gave it *****. I received the January '06 issue this morning, and on page 8 they apologize if anybody went shopping and was disappointed - they had a September release date. "Unfortunately, the merger between the two major records labels Sony and BMG led to manufacturing delays of the set" is their explanation. They conclude by saying it will hit the stores by December 27 ..... Edited December 21, 2005 by mikeweil Quote
tranemonk Posted December 21, 2005 Report Posted December 21, 2005 just got mine today... I still won't believe this is real until I've played ALL 6 CD;s... Who the hell knows what could be in there... Could be the greatest hits of Britney Spears.... !!! Quote
dave9199 Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 From the pictures I've seen, it looks like the same box design as the other Legacy reissues. So does it have a number 8 on the spine? Quote
GregK Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 From the pictures I've seen, it looks like the same box design as the other Legacy reissues. So does it have a number 8 on the spine? no number, probably because it doesn't fit with the rest of the series as it is a live set, like the Plugged Nickel and the Blackhawk. This is the first I have heard of the non-Live Evil stuff, and it is great. There is a lot more Bartz and Jarrett improvisations than I heard on the Live-Evil material, which of course had McLaughlin Quote
BFS Posted December 22, 2005 Author Report Posted December 22, 2005 not metal here. so where is this sticker they had to put on back in october? I don't see it anywhere Some are with metal spine and some are not? Quote
Aggie87 Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 not metal here. so where is this sticker they had to put on back in october? I don't see it anywhere Some are with metal spine and some are not? The Silent Way box does not have a metal spine, nor does the Cellar Door box, apparently. But they look similar to the other boxes in the series. The Blackhawk and Plugged Nickel boxes are not of the same design as the other Columbia boxes. Quote
