Norm Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 Did anyone who got theirs from bargainentertainment on Amazon get shafted on the shipping? I paid the 2.98x2 when I bought the boxes, but then got a note in the mailbox saying I had to pick them up at the Post Office for 5.98 because of insufficient shipping paid on the part of the sender. Weak, weak, weak. I bought it from bargainentertainment as well, but was only charged 2.98 for shipping (through Amazon). Never had that happen before (reverse shipping charges?); maybe you want to contact bargainentertainment to see what the story is. Happening to be listening to disc 4 right now when I read your post, and am loving it. Quote

Weak, weak, weak. Weak if it is intentional. Contact them and see if you get an apology and a reimbursement. If they do, human error which need to bear with each other on in this world! Quote
tjluke68 Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 Best Buy must've figured out the error - box is $59.99 and backordered now... Quote

Weak, weak, weak. No problem at all with mine. 2 day priority shipping, no postage due. Quote
Tom 1960 Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 Best Buy must've figured out the error - box is $59.99 and backordered now... I tried to give a friend a headsup on the Side Steps collection, but it was too late. At least I got my copy and that's all that matters. Quote
peterintoronto Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 I guess I'm the only schmuck who has paid full price for all three boxes? I just happened upon this thread now! I guess it evens out though - just snagged a longtime LP want off eBay, Arthur Jones' 'Scorpio' on BYG for $20. Seriously though, these boxes are worth the full admission price. The sound is terrific, and the notes are excellent. Quote
felser Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 I guess I'm the only schmuck who has paid full price for all three boxes? Yeah, the rest of us geniuses paid full price for the 16 CD set 20 twenty years ago and then full price again for the first two sets in this series before finally catching a break on Side Steps. So don't feel bad. And you're right, it's marvelous music! Quote

So don't feel bad. And you're right, it's marvelous music! I would have gladly paid full price for the amount of joy I am getting out of this box. Plus its also re-opened my love affair with 50's Prestige titles. I have been getting into a other tiles by Ammons, Waldron and Rollins that I haven't played in a long time. I detoured into Miles via Blue Moods and Bags Groove and am now really getting into some Milt Jackson and Teddy Charles. Great stuff ! Edited October 26, 2009 by WorldB3 Quote

xybert Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 pre-order $11.99Best Buy : John Coltrane SIDE STEPS Sorry to bump this old thread; obsessed with Coltrane at the moment and thoroughly enjoying reading through old threads. Anyway, i cannot believe these sets were available so cheap on release. Must be up there with the deals of the century. Quote
colinmce Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 Yep, that's how I got mine. Picked up the other 2 at the same time from Amazon for $14/ea. Very nice-looking sets, though they're very hard to navigate since the admittedly cobbled-together albums are so thoroughly deconstructed. Quote

Anyway, i cannot believe these sets were available so cheap on release. Must be up there with the deals of the century. Well, they weren't exorbitant on release, but they weren't THAT cheap. That is the cut-out pricing. Quote
colinmce Posted January 13, 2014 Report Posted January 13, 2014 Right re: Fearless Leader and Interplay, but the Best Buy price above for Side Steps was upon release. Definitely an error that (luckily for me!) they followed through on. Quote
jazzbo Posted January 13, 2014 Report Posted January 13, 2014 Gotcha. Missed that. Thanks. Was a helluva deal, forgot about that one. Quote

Very nice-looking sets, though they're very hard to navigate since the admittedly cobbled-together albums are so thoroughly deconstructed. I'm still at the 'letting it all wash over me' stage but yeah i've never been the best at re-constructing where it all comes from with this type of thing, even when it's noted in the booklet. In general I tend to get interested, look it up, and then promptly forget, for some reason. I'd make a terrible musicologist. Quote
CJ Shearn Posted January 14, 2014 Report Posted January 14, 2014 I gotta place these recordings in the context now of pre Atlantic Trane, since I just finished that set. Quote
