king ubu Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 I stopped regularly reading and re-reading the liner notes, but I like having proper documentation, mainly, and I live with the illusion that lossless files burned to CDR actually do sound better to my very ears than MP3s from my analogically hooked up MP3-player...

captainwrong Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Sorry if this has been answered somewhere in this thread, but is there anywhere to get the discography info for these things easily? That's really all I need and then I'm ready to hit eMusic and Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 We should start a thread listing all discographical resources. jazzdisco.org is a great place to start, though they seem to concentrate on bebop & afterwards: http://www.jazzdisco.org/ Here's a great Duke Ellington discography: http://www.depanorama.net/ Sidney Bechet: http://www.sidneybechet.org/sbr.html Monk: http://www.howardm.net/tsmonk/tsmonk2.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainwrong Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 We should start a thread listing all discographical resources this is really an excellent idea. Here's a Gene Krupa one: http://www.genekrupa.net/session.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 UK members should note these Classics discs are a mere £3.95 downloaded from Amazon.co.uk. Extremely good value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swinging Swede Posted May 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 UK members should note these Classics discs are a mere £3.95 downloaded from Amazon.co.uk. Extremely good value. At the same time they are available in the "Complete Jazz Series" incarnation for £6.99. Well, I had my doubts about those all along.

gmonahan Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Opening bid is $9.99. Maybe I should bid $10? greg mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swinging Swede Posted July 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Sold for $6,600! That's slightly less than $7 per CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Beat Steve Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) I've a hunch this auction (or rather its selling price) is a bogus auction. Look at how those two final bidderrs raised each other briefly in a flash and then left it at that. And one of them with just ONE single feedback. If a newbie comes in at an auction out of the blue and bids sky-high way before the end I smell a BIG FAT rat!!

bakeostrin Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Agree with Steve on this one. E-bay rolled out the red carpet to shill bidding when it made all the bidding anonymous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Englewood Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Agree with Steve on this one. E-bay rolled out the red carpet to shill bidding when it made all the bidding anonymous. And I would presume there is nothing to stop the sellers, creating a second ebay account and bidding on their own items to push up the price just as the auction is about to end???

Cliff Englewood Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Only the risk of actually winning the auction. Of course, but then they could always re-list the item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainknut Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 The CDs are rapidly running out even at the legit sites. I live in a country where I cannot download legit MP3s from Amazon. So my only option left is unauthorized downloading. Does anybody know a site where I can find the Duke Ellington albums to download? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainknut Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Have you tried eMusic.com? Chronological Classics and the nearly identical Complete Jazz Series are available there (in most countries) Search as I might, I could only find 16 of the 45 Duke Ellington Classics albums. The search function isn't too good, though. Do you know where I can find the Classics albums? (Do they have them all?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainknut Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 And can I also download the artwork/booklet for the CD tray? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Not from eMusic, no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyhersom Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Here's an alternative, seems to be complete studio recordings through 1947: Dukle Ellingon 1924-1947 40 cd box I'll be supplementing it with the post 1947 CCs from eMusic.
