Chuck Nessa Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 :lol: I can do this 'cause I had a King lp and now a Japanese cd. Sorry if this offends. Nice date anyway. Not worth more than $25 in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Ouch. Almost a 100 pounds? I paid $23.99 for it in 1997 at a Borders in Santa Monica, California. I like it, but find Curtain Call much better. The Japanese TOCJs sound much better to me than the Mosaic. The CTJOs are the best, though.

michel1969 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Me thinks it is a little too very much expensive for such a little plastic round that is not even possible to read on a table that turns with a needle and not even makes 33 turns 1/3 in one minute when it turns.

chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 every time i think of this album, i always picture mobley playing a baritone sax. why is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 do they accept UK pounds, mailed- as payment, or would u have to go ahead and get the foreign draft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Looks like PayPal on your CC, chewy. I have it on the Mosaic. Good date and still bid on the King vinyl occasionally (never win, though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I know the £ has plummeted but this price of £99.95 is just damn ridiculous. As is the fact that there is at least 1 jazz collector in Llandudno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Kart Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Worth it for the liner notes in which yours truly (circa 1980) says snotty things about Pepper Adams and Art Farmer that he wishes he could take back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Worth it for the liner notes in which yours truly (circa 1980) says snotty things about Pepper Adams and Art Farmer that he wishes he could take back. Well, we all have snotty things we said about people 30 years ago that we wish we could take back (I know I do, and have specifics that still haunt me), but thankfully for most of us, no one remembers or is paying any attention to those things 30 years later. The curse of credibility. Adams actually is my all-time favorite on baritone. Thank you, Larry, for being willing to share that with us.

Mine are in Japanese.....what did you say? "Art Farmer, for my taste, never played as well as he did during this period, perhaps because the hard bop style was at war with his deadening sense of neatness. Possessing a musical mind of dandiacal suavity coupled with the soul of a librarian, Farmer usually sounded too nice to be true. But this rhythm section puts an edge on his style".... etc. "Adams' problem has always been how to give his lines some sense of overall design; and too often the weight of his huge tone hurtles him forward faster than he can think...." etc. From a distance of almost 30 years, I can still see what I was talking about in both cases, but that's much too snotty.

bakeostrin Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I know the £ has plummeted but this price of £99.95 is just damn ridiculous. Consider the Mosaic Box ... Agreed. I collected Mobley CD's piece by piece, buying the Japanese TOCJ's when they came out or hunting for the domestic re-issues when applicable. I would be reluctant to pay 1/4 of the asking price (sorry to step on the auction) because a significant probability exists that the CD will be reissued domestically or pop up in another Japanese reissue. I've seen it happen many, many times over the years with Blue Notes. If "African High Life" (the Ilori disc) can appear as a domestic reissue, so can this Mobley, possibly paired up with "Curtain Call."

riverrat Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hank Mobley's 'Poppin'', referred to recently as a rare Blue Note CD, is to be found on English ebay... I wonder if anyone will bite at that price. I was fortunate enough to have picked up a Spanish "gray market" CD of this, from the series with the blue tinted cover art. I think I like Curtain Call a bit better as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie87 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I was fortunate enough to have picked up a Spanish "gray market" CD of this, from the series with the blue tinted cover art. If it makes you feel any better, I don't believe that's a gray market disc at all. If it's the Spanish Time-Life issue, it was a legitimate release in Spain. The only thing is that it was intended only for the Spanish market, so the fact that it got out elsewhere was an issue I believe. There are still copies of some of these blue-tinted BN's at my local Half Price Books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
