Don't know if it's a "steal" at $175, but this is a damned good set. The price is probably fine too. A lot of you Mosaic fanatics should check this non-Mosaic box set out!

Tempting...

[Rooster_Ties]

Excepting bonus material and such, have most of the original albums from this set each come out as individual CD releases (domestic, a.k.a. in the US) over the years? I'm so NOT on top of this material, it's not even funny.

I really don't have very much Kirk ( two or three discs at most ), but have mostly liked what I've heard over the years.

Like I said, tempting...

[Bright Moments]

great box. -_-

Leaving out the Bonus material....

Disc 1 "We Free Kings"

Disc 2 "Tubby's Back in Town"

Disc 3 "Domino" and "Reeds & Deeds"

Disc 4 "Reeds & Deeds" and "Roland Kirk meets Benny Golson"

Disc 5 "Kirk in Copenhagen"

Disc 6 "Kirk in Copenhagen"

Disc 7 "45s" and "Gifts & Messages"

Disc 8 "I Talk With the Spirits"

Disc 9 "Rip, Rig & Panic" and "Slightly Latin"

Disc 10 Quincy Jones and his Orchestra and Quincy Jones Big Band. (Not sure the titles)

That's as far as I can describe it...

To the best of my knowledge, "Kings","Domino"."Copenhagen","Spirits", and "Rip Rig Panic" have come out on CD, the others haven't (at least domestically). Universal put out the original 6 cut "Copenhagen" album on CD, and the dreaded (on this board) Lonehill put out the whole two discs worth, with additional bonus material.

That's basically right - and Reeds & Deeds as well as Gifts & Messages are close to essential, while Slightly Latin is often maligned and can be a bit cheesy in spots, but is actually pretty interesting in places. Tubbys Back In Town is fun, and there is a bunch of supplementary materials that adds substantially to the core albums. The sound is good, and when you consider that it's $175 for 11 OOP discs, it's not bad - I see the sets go on Ebay for $200 to $250.

Tubby's Back in Town has been on cd in a great sounding Classics Records cd!

It's kinda heavy! I would say $9 should do it.

[Bluerein]

But Lon that classics disc is almost impossible to get (I'm lucky enough to have it). How many do you think they made of that one? I think 500 or so. If you include all the Japanese issues from the last 15 years almost (if not all) was available on cd. But indeed hard to find and OOP. Essential box imo too!!!

I don't know Reiner, some time ago I was able to find about three copies of that Hayes on Classics . . . . I don't know how many they made, but they were findable. I also remember seeing that it was due to come out again elsewhere, but can't remember the details.

None-the-less a fine box set, indeed. All these sessions should be in print in an ideal world but this isn't hat world.

[robert h.]

Now listed on Ebay, so only 2 days left if interested in buying it directly!

Everybody who likes RRK must have this box. This is definitely a desert island box.

Hasn't sold after a week, so I'm reducing the price to $150 plus shipping - great, great deal.

[kh1958]

It is indeed a great box set (one of my favorites), but since I have one already, I won't be greedy.
