Indestructible! Posted October 18, 2006 Report Posted October 18, 2006 Hi All, Quick story... I placed an order for the Elvin Jones Mosaic set on Friday afternoon via their website, and then called them on Monday around noon to be sure they got my order (after reading how others were buying the remaining sets that morning). They assured me they did. Life is good, I'm thinking!!! So, this morning (Tuesday) I received an e-mail from Mosaic saying that there was a mix-up in their inventory, and they "ran out" of the Elvin Jones. Mine was sent to someone else, I guess. The folks at Mosaic were good enough to offer a partial set, though - box, booklet, and all the CD's except for CD #1. I told them I'd take it... So, I'm hoping that some kind soul here at the Organissimo BB might have CD #1 of the Elvin Jones Mosaic set that they would like to sell. It's a long shot, I know... but this board is a pretty amazing place, so I'll give it a shot! Any CD #1's out there? Cheers, Shane Quote
J Larsen Posted October 18, 2006 Report Posted October 18, 2006 There's a somewhat sketchy cd store near my apt that often sells single discs from Mosaic sets... I'll check for you next time I drop by. Quote
Aggie87 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Posted October 18, 2006 They were still selling them as of yesterday when I bought mine....hmmmm. I haven't received any email saying mine is going to be a partial box or anything. Wonder what's up. Quote
David Ayers Posted October 18, 2006 Report Posted October 18, 2006 Not good. It also makes you wonder how they might replace defective disks if there is - as in this case - not a single copy of a particular disk left. Quote
RDK Posted October 18, 2006 Report Posted October 18, 2006 I'm pretty sure I have an extra twin-pack of Discs 1 & 2. I'll see if i can dig it up tonight. Drop me an email later in case i forget. Quote

Drop me an email later in case i forget. Ray, If you could do this, I'd be eternally grateful! Just let me know what I owe you... And, no need to look for it tonight... search at your leisure! I procrastinated this long on the Elvin box, so I'm certainly not going to ask you to go out of your way just for me. I'll shoot you an e-mail later. I love this board! Cheers, Shane Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted October 19, 2006 Report Posted October 19, 2006 Let us know how it all turns out!! Always love to hear of a happy ending. Quote
samnat Posted October 20, 2006 Report Posted October 20, 2006 HELP! I had the same experience. Apparently happened to about a dozen of us. I too am in the market for a disc 1 with insert. Anyone able to help me? Perry Quote
Aggie87 Posted October 20, 2006 Report Posted October 20, 2006 (edited) Sorry, I don't have an extra copy. I find it curious that I was able to order this set on Monday, and it arrived yesterday, complete. How is it that people who apparently order earlier are getting getting partial sets? And why would there be a shortage of Disc 1's like this? Was there a bad pressing or something? edit - and since the discs are sealed (and in two-disc jewel boxes), wouldn't people be missing both disc 1 AND disc 2? Edited October 20, 2006 by Aggie87 Quote
RDK Posted October 20, 2006 Report Posted October 20, 2006 Found my extra copy of D1/2. Sounds like now's the time to Ebay it. Just kidding, Shane, it's on hold for you... Quote

Damn Ray, Way to give a guy a heart attack!!! Seriously, thanks sooooo much for helping me out with this! I'll PM you with my information, and we can talk about how much $$$ I owe you. And, the drinks are on me if we happen to get to the same show here in LA! Cheers, Shane Quote

I've never heard Mosaic be so "off" before... their customer service is always outstanding! I hope good things happen for you (and the rest)! Aggie, I think I know what happened to my order... On Friday, I ordered both the Elvin and the new Andrew Hill Select. Mosaic waits to ship all titles, and since the Hill isn't ready to ship yet, my guess is that the Elvin I ordered didn't get placed in the "hold" category like it should've. It's (partly) my fault for waiting so long, and for violating my own rule... "Always CALL Mosaic, never use the website to order". Usually when I call them, I get the set within a few days (all the way out here in LA). Whenever I use the website to order, it takes much longer. This has happened to me once before... I ordered the Phil Woods Mosaic right at the deadline via the web, everything looked good, and then a few days later Cindy from Mosaic called me and said they had "run out" of the Woods set. I'd like to thank Kevin Bresnehan for helping me out, though, as he traded his to me about a month later!!! Honestly, this board is fantastic! Guys like Ray (and Kevin) keep bailing me out... thanks for reinforcing my procrastinatin' ways, gents! (Where's SS1 with that Lee Morgan cover?) Cheers, Shane Quote

Cheers, Shane Shane - Yeah, I can understand them holding up the order for the Hill (and then forgetting to actually set aside your copy). Glad you're getting hooked up with what you are missing. And if I ended up with your set somehow, sorry! What still doesn't make sense to me is why so many are missing copies of Disc 1 - and not both Disc 1 & 2. Either way that part is strange. Quote
samnat Posted October 21, 2006 Report Posted October 21, 2006 Ray--you're a solid citizen. Now, anyone else out there can help me out with an Elvin disc #1? My Mosaic junkie circuit is hurtin' pretty bad. Perry Quote
samnat Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 Hey--a great big thank you to HEAD MAN for getting me a copy of disc 1 for my Elvin Jones set. Perry Quote
sal Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 Wow.....two happy endings! I must admit, when I first read this thread, I chuckled, as I didn't think there would be any way in hell this problem could get resolved. But it did.....twice! That's really something. Quote
