ghost of miles Posted April 2, 2003 Report Posted April 2, 2003 (edited) How many CDs is this puppy? Not that I'll be picking it up anytime soon--Deep Discount has the best price I've found so far, and that's still a cool $511... Edited April 2, 2003 by ghost of miles Quote
John L Posted April 2, 2003 Report Posted April 2, 2003 Be advised that the puppy is not even holding a complete set of "Jazz in Paris." They released some new series after the pup was already born. Quote
jazzbo Posted April 2, 2003 Report Posted April 2, 2003 There are 75 cds in that box set I believe. Dusty Groove was selling the box for about 400 dollars I belive, but I don't believe they have them in stock any longer. Quote
ghost of miles Posted April 2, 2003 Author Report Posted April 2, 2003 (edited) I also suspect that said puppy might be cheaper to buy part-by-part. Remember the bogus Sonny Rollins and Miles Davis Blue Note boxes a few years back, in which they packaged all the individual CDs and tacked on an extra few dollars for the cardboard casing? ... Well, Lon just posted ahead of me. If it really does have 75 CDs, then it might actually be cheaper than buying them one by one. Either way, I don't have an extra few hundred lying around right now. The most expensive set I ever shelled out for was the RCA Ellington, and I got a handsome discount on it as a Borders employee at the time. Edited April 2, 2003 by ghost of miles Quote
mikeb Posted April 2, 2003 Report Posted April 2, 2003 A rather pricey venture, for sure, but some wonderful jazz! Quote
JohnJ Posted April 3, 2003 Report Posted April 3, 2003 Amazon U.K. has a 49 CD Jazz in Paris box for 176 UK Pounds. For non EU residents 15% VAT is deducted resulting in a price of 150 UK pounds or a little under $240. As a box only counts as one CD, however large, shipping to the U.S. would only be around $5 so, at $5 per CD, this would seem to be a better deal than the larger box available at Amazon.com. Quote
brownie Posted April 3, 2003 Report Posted April 3, 2003 The missing Jazz in Paris CD is volume 8 Chet Baker (Broken Wings) which has been withdrawn from the series (probably for copyright reasons). Too bad. It's a beautiful Baker album. One of his best. Quote
Roger Hiles Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 So the series is now up to 101-- 25 since the box came out. Does anyone know if more are planned? Quote
sheldonm Posted April 17, 2003 Report Posted April 17, 2003 I didn't think I wanted all of the recordings in the set have a purchased a bunch of them through Dusty Groove. Their prices range from $7.99 to $11.99 each. Great music! Quote
