Bill Evans - Secret Sessions

[Patrick]

Got an email from SS saying they shipped everything except the Bill Evans which is "In Process". Oh well. When I clicked it into my cart, it was advertised as the last available copy. Waiting for more from a distrib, lost count, being shipped from another (slower) location?

[BeBop]

Ugh. This is starting to small - and I do mean "smell" - like my Oldies/Concord Music Group sale thread.

Debut Records Story box set is another bargain at $8.97.

What a steal! Wish I'd known that earlier, I would've lumped it in. Oh well, there's always this alternative which started yesterday:

For one week only, buy any four CDs and we'll give you 20% off your ENTIRE order, Plus Free Standard or International Shipping! ... Just use promo code 4CDDEAL at checkout ... offer expires 08/20/09.

I guess 4-CD box sets don't count as 4 CDs. Any recommendations on what the other three should be?

Thanks to bebop (and then to mellow for the heads up on the $8 price decrease) the Interplay set arrived today. I ordered it on 8/12 and it shipped 8/13. It was plastic wrapped with two "used" stickers on the outside of the box with only a scratch out of the bar code. At first glance the cds and the booklet appear to be brand new. Because the long box is shorter than the Sony long boxes, cd #1 and #2 overlap as do cd #4 and #5. The booklet looks great with original album covers included.

I see there are a couple of Joe Henderson 'Milestone Years' boxes available at $23.99.

Used this week's "free shipping" promotion to order the $8.97 Debut Records Story set.

[Free For All]

Looks like I got in under the wire- I received a notice that mine shipped today. (I did manage to order pretty soon after BeBop's initial post)

EDIT: BTW, thanks for the heads-up, BeBop!

It arrived yesterday.

Under "your account" on Secondspin they list the dollar value available for credit for your "collection" (what you bought from them). Interplay, with a sales price of $20.99, shows a credit value of $16.25. Not bad. On the other hand the Debut Records Story, selling for $8.97, has a credit value of 5 cents!! I sure hope it's in decent condition when it arrives.

[TedR]

Pretty good service from oldies right now. Received 15 out of 16. Don Friedman's Metamorphosis was cut.

Edited to say that I can't believe I put this in the wrong thread. Should be in the "Concord Blowout" thread.
