Jazzmoose Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Well, I didn't get this one. I wanted it, and wish I could have picked it up. On the other hand, I'm proud of myself for not reaching for the plastic when I shouldn't... Now the trick will be not convincing myself that, since I didn't get it, I'm 'entitled' to purchase a buncha CDs somewhere else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFrank Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I've never seen a set go OOP that quickly. I'm so glad I picked this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.W. Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Picked it up twice. First time was years ago, didn't like the sound compared to the TOCJs and sold it, then purchased it again recently because I wanted the non-TOCJ albums...

The set sounded a tad too bright and tinny - though I must admit that the TOCJs sounded too warm, with the higher frequencies rolled-off too much. I must also admit that I'm one of those who generally don't like Ron McMaster's mastering jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Wheel Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I missed out too, but never felt like I really had to have this one, so I'm not too disappointed. I'm betting at least half of this will come out as individual CDs in the next 2-3 years (Herbie Hancock is always a draw). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Templejazz Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I spoke with someone from Mosaic a few days ago he said I'd be safe for about a week and a half to two weeks. I was gonna place the order today. Motherfu**er! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Pusey Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Well, that went pretty damn quick! If this is anything to go by, I had better be swift off the mark next time something I might want goes to last chance! Hope everyone who wanted one got one!

Rooster_Ties Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 So, was this set ever on the "Running Low" list, before it hit "Last Change" status?? I know it wasn't ever in the catalog as "Running low". But I mean, was it ever on the "Running Low" list on the website even?? That may account for the especially fast run on things at the end. Funny how a set like the Byrd/Adams box probably only sells a few copies a week for several years, and then -- suddenly -- they fly off the shelves in no time flat. Probably 200 or 300 sets in just two weeks. If only there was some way to motivate people to buy these things sooner than later (over the full time the set is available) -- instead of them waiting until the last minute -- then I think there'd be fewer people missing out when the time finally came for it to go OOP. And another thing's for damn sure, that sets would be selling out, instead of timing out --- cuz that's just lost sales for Mosaic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motherfu**er! ← So, are you now going to sue him? ← Nope....Big Wheel might be right when he said that some of this stuff might come out in the next couple of years as single reissues. I can wait I suppose. Plus I have a TOCJ of Royal Flush to keep me happy. .....But now I gotta hurry up and buy something else to make me feel better!

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 .....But now I gotta hurry up and buy something else to make me feel better! An excellent suggestion!! ......but you might want to play it safe and hit Dusty or Red Trumpet this time 'round lest your order at Mosaic happens to get filled by the person who monitors these Mosaic threads for grins and happens to recognize him/herself as the object of your everlasting 'affections' above.

tranemonk Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 OKAY OKAY YOU WERE RIGHT, RON!!!! Ahh... but commonsense overcame me (at least momentarily.... ) and I did get it!!!! AhA... Another reason to stay away from the evil cluthes of.... E-BAY!!! GONE! ← That was really fast. Hope everyone here pulled the trigger in time! ← And to think that some people (we won't embarrass tranemonk by mentioning him specifically) actually thought that they could wait until this weekend to order. ← Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I placed my order 9pm last night (along w/ Jazztet set and Schizophrenia), and got a confirmation noon today. If my large OJC order at J&R looks to go largely unfilled, I guess I can afford a couple of Mosaics. And if the J&R order does come through, well then I'll have a lot of great music and a lot less cash for other distractions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Goren. Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 What do you think is the next set to go to the "running low" or "last chance" category??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tranemonk Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 that's a great question!!! Hmmm... to me it seems like one way to figure this out is to do the following... 1) Start with the sets of 5000 (not the 7500 or 10000) 2) look at the copyright date or set # (highly reasonable to assume the some of older sets will go OOP sooner) 3) focus on the popularity of the artist/genre 4) safely eliminate some of the more obscure (pre bebop sets - IMHO those will take a LONG time to go oop.. .but that's just my opinion)... and that might lead me to believe... Hmm.... drum roll please????? Horace Parlan...? maybe Max Roach??? That's my thought... And I don't think the Parlan is going OOP soon. I bought mine a year or two ago and it was #1912 - Copyright date 2000. What do you think is the next set to go to the "running low" or "last chance" category??? ← Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron S Posted June 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 What do you think is the next set to go to the "running low" or "last chance" category??? ← Four Freshmen or Mildred Bailey? Actually, the obvious guesses for me would be the Johnson or the Mobley. But then again, I never would have guessed Byrd/Adams two weeks ago, so what do I know?
