jazzkrow Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 A happy find in San Francisco... I'm down in the Bay Area for my mom's birthday and of course had to visit the San Francisco Amoeba. Looking thru the CD bins, I was shocked to find the Buck Clayton Mosaic CDs (3 double jewel cases). The price was quite reasonable and when I inspected the CDs, they looked legit and fine! So, it was a no-brainer to buy the set, knowing that finding the booklet and box was a long shot at best. First thing this morning, Mosaic got a call from me. It didn't take 30 seconds to find out that that they had not (for years) had any boxes or booklets for this great set-at least they didn't laugh at my request... My second dream was to post here and by some miracle have someone on the Board have an extra (yeah, right.. ) Clayton box and/or booklet! So hold back your laughter and tell me in a nice way to delete this post/go away... At least I have this sweet music-it has always been on my radar screen. I also know (and have) that the 3 CD Proper set has most of the Mosaic material.... But at just a little over $50 it was impossible to walk away from the Mosaic discs. Ok, let the ribbing begin...(It only takes one kind soul.. -Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDK Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Sorry, can't help, but nothing to be ashamed/amused at. I've got many old & oop Mosaics that I've picked up (often dirt cheap) sans boxes. I may have a xerox copy of the booklet if that helps, but I know the quality's not that good.

Ken Dryden Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I know of one fellow writer who actually flattens and pitches the Mosaic boxes when he receives them, saving storage space in his small Brooklyn apartment. That will mean a lot less $$$ for them when his widow holds an estate sale... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzkrow Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I'd throw out my bed and sleep on the floor-to save space-before I would flatten and throw out a Mosaic box because of space issues. Without the box, your Mosaic collection would just look like loose CDs.... Incredible.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
