Out2Lunch Posted December 15, 2003 Report Posted December 15, 2003 Deepdiscountcd.com has it for $47.41 (free shipping) http://www.deepdiscountcd.com/index.cfm?re...pc=001271634000 Is this a reliable outfit to deal with? I'm dubious of anything with the word DEEP in it! Quote
clandy44 Posted December 15, 2003 Report Posted December 15, 2003 Tod-DD is legit if slow. they ship from a small town in Illinois and I have had no problems with them. And, their prices are good. The German overdub ends on track 7 of disc 1, which has 28 tracks. A little male German voicing on track 1 of disc 2, but it seems (I haven't finished this disc) like uninterrupted music. Quote
Tjazz Posted December 15, 2003 Report Posted December 15, 2003 (edited) I've purchased several times from Deepdiscountcd and Deepdiscountdvd. No problems, but if the items are backordered, they are slow. You can always buy from the guy on ebay who sells BEAR FAMILY boxes. I think his name is Wolfgang? (or CDWolf?) Just pass him an email for his price, if it's not posted on ebay. Edited December 15, 2003 by Tjazz Quote
David McFarlane Posted December 15, 2003 Report Posted December 15, 2003 I took the bait and ordered this from DeepDiscountCD.com after reading the post on 18 Nov. It remained on backorder until two days agos when I was notified it was shipped. Of course, I haven't received it yet. I'll post when it arrives. Quote
ghost of miles Posted December 16, 2003 Author Report Posted December 16, 2003 Mine showed up yesterday. I've listened only to Disc 1 so far, and yeah, the breathless German radio announcer is extremely intrusive, but you still get a good, raw sense of the live music. Wish there had been more of that actual performance, but the stuff they chose to fill out Disc 1 is good & interesting. Haven't listened to Disc 2 yet, which is almost all Ellington broadcasts from the club in 1938. Hopefully tonight! The book is great; I read the first 35 pages last night and hope to finish it this evening, but lots of great pix and interesting stories/biographies. At $47, definitely not disappointed... Quote
ghost of miles Posted December 16, 2003 Author Report Posted December 16, 2003 Clem's right on target re: Bear Family. As much as I dig Mosaic, Bear Family's production definitely ups the ante... A couple of friends of mine have all of the ones Clem lists above and swear by 'em. These are the ones I have so far: Carter Family King Curtis Louis Jordan Julia Lee Nellie Lutcher Songs for Political Action (various) Tennesse Jive (various) and a big rec for this one: Nashville Jumps (great collection of Nashville R & B indie labels from 1945-55, with people like Phineas Newborn and John Coltrane popping up on some tracks) Ones I'd like to get include Piano Red and Songs of the Depression... fantastic label without a doubt.

Tjazz Posted December 16, 2003 Report Posted December 16, 2003 Clandy-- Bear Family rules. Short list of their best country sets (I've had many over the years, still have some; if there were really "an economic recovery" in NYC I'd probably want 'em all): Blue Sky Boys Bill Monroe "Blue Moon of Kentucky" (blows Rounder away) Cliff Bruner (blazing early western swing) Wynn Stewart (dark horse candidate for best C&W singer of the '60s, George Jones included) clem How's the BLUE SKY BOYS set? I'm kinda interested in that box set. The Cliff Bruner and Wynn Stewart are on my list too. Don't know anything about Cliff Bruner. That Wynn Steart box is big (10-cds)! Quote
David McFarlane Posted December 16, 2003 Report Posted December 16, 2003 (edited) My copy of Cotton Club arrived today! Nice package, I'll give it a listen tomorrow. Edited December 16, 2003 by David McFarlane Quote
gslade Posted December 17, 2003 Report Posted December 17, 2003 Thanks TJazz for the heads up on Deep Discount I recieved my set today What an excellent product, I have never seen a Bear Family set before but I agree with ghost of miles that they up the ante I only listened to a couple of tunes so I can't really comment on the music Quote

They sold it for $116, so for 10-CDs, I paid the price. The Cliff Bruner set is selling for $69.31 at Deep and Blue Sky Boys $83.91. Both are 5-CD sets. I have a feeling Cliff Bruner isn't a big seller. Quote
Tjazz Posted December 17, 2003 Report Posted December 17, 2003 Anybody have the BEAR MEMPHIS BELLES-WOMEN OF SUN RECORDS set? Quote
