djcavanagh Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Apologies to those who were trying to avoid these deals but they have some new ones! The Coltrane Prestige @ €50 (502933) The Oscar Peterson Pablo @ €30 (502936) The Rollins Prestige @ €30 (502934) The Tatum Groups @ €25 (500881) The MJQ Prestige + Pablo @ €7.99 (!) (500118) They still have the Gordon Prestige @ €40 (500733). Now if they would just sell the Joe Henderson Milestone at that kind of price then we can all retire happy.

sidewinder Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 (edited) Goody ! Gone for a copy of the Coltrane set and that MJQ box is a givaway. They also have the 4CD 'Debut Story' for about 33 Eurozlots. Edited March 29, 2006 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are quite good at combining orders so if they've actually not sent yours ( ) you might save on the shipping. Every cloud and all that...

Daniel A Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Cookin', Relaxin', Workin' and Steamin' (but not The New Miles Davis Quintet) are available from 2001 in a 4 CD box set, supposedly with original cover art as it seems to consist of the old (ZYX?) separate CDs. The price is €15 (500667). For those who don't want to wait for the new 3CD box, don't mind the ZYX remasters (however they are), can do without the fifth album... and don't want to spend much money! Link to picture of the box (not from 2001, but it appears to be the same) http://www.kind-of-blue.de/bilder/boxen/mi...min_box_set.jpg Appears to be the 16 bit remasters, which are said to sound OK, aren't they?

tjobbe Posted March 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Hi dear 2001 Box set maniacs ! As I was offline for a while on business trip to Asia (with very limited access to online resources) I've seen that you found the good news from 2001 already yourselve with the Coltrane obvioulsy no longer listed online. I'm happy that most of you are now able to pefectly buy goods in german online stores For those who might have overlooked this (500887as par tnumber when directly entered to the card ) here for a crazy 5€ to go.... Cheers, Tjobbe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Ordered the Tatum Group box today ... an irresponsible gap in my collection will be stuffed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Are these new boxes (the Coltrane, Tatum etc) still in the big-box format or the previous mini-box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjobbe Posted April 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 (edited) The Coltrane for sure is a big box, the Tatum I doubt that this was released in big box format at all, as having the previously sold Tatum Group box and that had been a small box with small sized booklet only. The music still is fine and worth buying. I'm expecting my delivery to be here early next week incl the MJQ one. EDIT: the Oscar is small sized anyway. The "Record Story" boxes..don't know, I haven't seen them yet and I'm not sure if I should get them as with the Peterson having anyway to much of him in my collection.

sidewinder Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Thanks Tjobbe ! I think those 'Story' boxes are in the small-box format. That will be awesome if the Coltrane arrives in the big box format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Garrett Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 The Coltrane for sure is a big box, the Tatum I doubt that this was released in big box format at all, as having the previously sold Tatum Group box and that had been a small box with small sized booklet only. The music still is fine and worth buying. Both the Tatum Solo and Group Masterpieces CD sets were originally released in LP-sized boxes, and later repackaged in the CD-sized boxes. I have both of them in the LP-sized boxes - the large booklet is nice, but you practically need a crowbar to pry the jewel cases free from the plastic box inserts.

tjobbe Posted April 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 FYI: just found the Coltrane BigBox (see this LINK showing the packaging) in LP size on my desk, looks great, as well as the MJQ 4er come in a hard-box and is a big surprise to me. The Miles Davis 4 CD box contains the the orginal end-of-80's US mastering... Best regards, Tjobbe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Received the Tatum Group box this afternoon, and to my delight it is the LP sized version. I used to shy away from this because of 1) the price and 2) Tatum's overwhelming virtuosity, but it turned out I can take it much better now. Glad I filled this gap in my collection.

Hiptobird Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Big Coltrane box! Thanks to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 (edited) My 'big box' Coltrane also arrived today. Thanks to the German Friends for the heads-up. The big suprise was with the Contemporary 4CD set. Put CD4 on the player and the quality of the sound and remastering leaves me speachless. Fantastic set, great track selection (everything from the Lighthouse All Stars to Woody Shaw) and a fascinating booklet with reminiscences from John Koenig (the set is book format like some of the Miles CBS sets). At 15 Euros highly recommended and a gem of a set! The bargain MJQ box looks real nice too - haven't sampled that yet. Just noticed also on their site that the Debut 4CD set is now on 'special' at an insane 8.99 and the Riverside set is still on for 4.99. Another order methinks Now all we need if for Tjobbe to email us that they have in stock the latest Universal Mosaics, the Art Pepper Complete Village Vanguard, the Bill Evans 'Last Waltz' and Fantasy Box, all in big box format. Can you arrange it? Edited April 7, 2006 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
