A Long shot I know.....

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..

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.

One bump up...

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...

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..
