Chuck Nessa Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Someone should email the guy. On the other hand, that might be his gas bill this month and he took a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Ordered up some sides that I passed on before and that seem to be becoming scarce: Johnny Griffin: Change of Pace George Wallington: Cafe Bohemia Zoot Sims: Zoot! Phil Woods w. Jon Eardley: Pot Pie Julian Priester/Walter Benton: Out of this World Don Sleet: All Members Now - if I get all of those, I'll be happy.

Jim Robinson - New Orleans, the living legends Jim Robinson - Plays spirituals and blues Little Brother Montgomery - Chicago, the living legends Elmer Snowden - Harlem banjo (and a big thanks to ChrisA for his advice on those!) Johnny "Hammond" Smith - Gears Red Garland - Red's good groove (how could I have missed an album with a title like that?) Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis - Afro-Jaws $27 postage costs isn't bad for 11 CDs - it's even slightly less than I'd pay per CD for UK postage from Amazon.co.uk. Now I have to see if Customs pick it up. Not optimistic MG Well, the order came today - by FedEx, as I wanted, even though I had only been charged USPS rate. And Customs didn't stop it. So that's a real nice Christmas present to myself.

kh1958 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I placed a second order yesterday morning and by the afternoon had an email confirming shipment. I suppose this in and of itself is a sad commentary on the state of the CD business, even during the two weeks preceding Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I've got two boxes on the way from Terre Haute--hoping they'll be sitting on the porch when I get home tonight. According to the e-mails, everything I ordered was included. Great to have a second shot at a # of titles that I thought had gone into Amazon Marketplace Insanity Land.

I suppose this in and of itself is a sad commentary on the state of the CD business, even during the two weeks preceding Christmas. Seems to be. My friend is in the book business (in Britain, but it's probably not so different in US). He was complaining last evening that he's been rushed off his feet. It seems only a few years ago that people were complaining that people weren't reading... But, over here anyway, retailers of all sorts are already complaining that they're having a lousy Christmas. I don't believe them all that much. Plenty of people on the street, I think. But perhaps they're not buying. I read a few days ago that there's a big percentage of Britons who are still paying off their credit card debts from LAST Christmas.

Tell us what ya got, Ghost! I've been surprised at some of the titles that are still available. Makes me wonder... Have they been available all along, or did they recently find a 'secret stash' in the back corner of the warehouse? Hmmm... Either way, now's the time to get 'em...

NaturalSoul Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I'm wanting to buy some Eddie Lockjaw Davis titles, but i dont know, i don't realy have the money to spend! But i'd like the 2fer w/ don Patterson and the 2fer w/ Shirley Scott on piano. Maybe i'll splurge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a secret stash, then the matter becomes rather more urgent. The sale ends 31 January. I had better put together another couple of orders for early and late January. Phew!!!!

jazzbo Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 You bastids! You made me place an order! Ordered two Don Friedmans I didn't have, the Woods-Eardley I did not have, a Clifford Jordan I surprisingly have never had (Bearcat) and the Ellington "This One's for Blanton" which I bought as a gift.

MG That's cool! My own 200$ order came by FedEx and passed customrs unnoticed as well, even though the cardboard box could house half a corpse... I wouldn't bet on it not having been noticed by customs. Back in May I got both of the Miles Mosaic Vinyl sets which were going OOP. Package arrived without delay or any incriminating marks to indicate that HM customs had been grooving to IASW. What da ya know when in October ( five months later) I get an invoice from DHL for £15 for custom charges. Even more bizarrely the VAT was calculated against the declared value of the LPs (£35) plus shipping costs. As this later cost wasn't marked on the box they guessed £37 postage. For obvious reasons I didn't bother to complain, as I'd have to dig out the invoice to reveal the true shipping costs of £15 and in the process reveal the cost of the LPs............................... So wait till April then you breath...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
