mikeweil Posted February 16 Report Posted February 16 Listening through this - I think I will sell it. Many raities, but when will I listen to all of this again? This probably is the third time I pulled zhis from the shelf since I bought it 40 years ago. https://www.discogs.com/release/11241299-Charlie-Parker-Live-And-Private-Recordings-In-Chronological-Order Now if this was the Pres bix ......

clifford_thornton Posted February 16 Report Posted February 16 (edited) Very cool. I am curious why the outliers in price -- is there a special edition of the Bird box? Edited February 16 by clifford_thornton Quote

No - just this one edition, limited to 300 copies. Price may vary depending on the condition of the outer box, which is too feeble to hold the weight of 22 LPs. I had to reinforce mine with clear adhesive tape. The selection of recordings is very collector friendly - everything issued on Spotlite, Savoy, Blue Note etc, was left out. There was, btw, another 22 LP box with Lester Young live recordings, the Pres Box. I wish I would have been into Pres back then as I was into Bird. Today I would trade my Bird Box for the Pres box any time. https://www.discogs.com/release/6256072-Lester-Young-Live-And-Private-Recordings-In-Chronological-Order Quote
clifford_thornton Posted February 17 Report Posted February 17 good to know. I've never seen either in person, and will "keep an eye out" (though it's unlikely I'll run into them). Quote
mikeweil Posted February 17 Report Posted February 17 Still deep into the Bird Box. 22 LPs is a lot of stuff. Right now I'm at disc 7. Quote

It's also collector-friendly that that Discogs entry lists the "orginal" (re)issues of the recordings included in that box. So everyone who has at least a certain number of "live Bird" can check for overlaps and won't feel as bad when he can't or won't afford the Discogs prices. Quote
