Parkertown Posted July 13, 2006 Report Posted July 13, 2006 This boxed set is 8 cds that encompasses the Pres' studio sets only, on the Verve-associated labels. Also contains two interviews on Disc 8, including one by...why looky here...Chris Albertson. (shameless name-dropping) Also contains Young's dictionary for hip slang. This set is great shape. (See numerous photos below...) All cd playing surfaces look immaculate/new. Unfortunately, this set has not grabbed me...perhaps I'll regret it in the future but finances force me to part with this very nice box. List Price: $129 YourParkertownmusic Price: $64. Shipping in USA/Canada $3.50. International at cost. C'mon...you know you want it. (Hopefully you guys haven't all blown your wad at the OJC blowout sale...) Paypal for international only please...otherwise I welcome your personal check or a M.O. Thanks! Quote

BeBop Posted July 13, 2006 Report Posted July 13, 2006 (Hopefully you guys haven't all blown your wad at the OJC blowout sale...) Actually, in my case, you have hit the nail precisely on the head. Tomorrow's paycheck has already evaporated. Quote

JSngry Posted July 14, 2006 Report Posted July 14, 2006 I though it was the organist who made Unity. Quote
JSngry Posted July 14, 2006 Report Posted July 14, 2006 I though it was the organist who made Unity. Oh, wait a sec. That was Larry Young, Les' brother. Didn't they have a dance band in the 50s & 60s? Quote
