Cliff Englewood Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I got an email notification that Mosaic is shipping me the Benedetti Bird box!!! I ordered it last February!!! I'm pretty happy. Now that's a fast turnaround, pretty happy you say? I'm suprised you still remembered you ordered it, I wouldn't. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesbro Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Does Mosaic charge your credit card when you make a purchase or when they ship an item? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 They charge only when they ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 They only charged my card now, and they did not charge for shipping. I'm holding the box in my sweaty hands right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluerein Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I think we all should love them a little harder if we want to see them surviving this year........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed S Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I think we all should love them a little harder if we want to see them surviving this year........ Well I've seen this post hang out there all day and no one has touched it. So I'll ask.... I know, Reinier, that you're closer to what's going on at Mosaic than most here on the board. We also know that CD sales are dropping, that jazz CD sales are dropping even faster (or might have fallen into total irrelevance), that jazz in general is a very hard sell, that the jazz fan population is getting older, that the recession has really taken a dent out of disposable income, that major labels are closing down their jazz production, that it is more costly than ever to lease the material, and the the European copyright laws make it easy for certain labels to put out material at a bargain price. All that said, is your remark about Mosaic surviving the year based on fact? speculation? inside information? an educated guess? hear-say? an assumption based on all or some of the aforementioned factors?

Brad Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 If there's an issue about them surviving I will purchase some sets from them this year to do what I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I will purchase some sets from them this year to do what I can. I ordered all the sets they have back in stock last year, and all the new ones. I miss only two sets IP, and I'll order them in the next months. All for Mosaic, the last hope for jazz-CD-lovers!

Ed S Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Just got an email from True Blue: Amongst the news...... - On January 31 Phil Schaap's Jazz Store will move on and its items (a wide assortment of autographed books, CDs, DVDs and framed art) will no longer be available through True Blue Music. - At the same time, True Blue Music will discontinue its jazz poster and jazz art offerings. - LAST CHANCE ON VINYL CLEARANCE SALE Unfortunately TheBestVinylShop.Com will shut done on January 31. With the exception of our Mosaic Records titles and the used LPs in Scott's Bargain Basement which are already nicely priced, we have put our entire inventory of LPs on sale. We have only one or two copies of many of these titles so it's first come, first serve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmce Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) Maybe they're just shoring up their affairs. Frankly I find True Blue to be pretty irrelevant anyways. That said, my goals for this year include ordering 5 more Selects and the Herman, Hampton, and Lester Young sets. And hopefully the Threadgill. I wonder, though, if we'll see any more Selects come out at all. It's coming on two years since the Handy and Zeitlin sets, no?

I'm pretty sure I remember a post telling us there were no more singles in the pipeline. Don't know about selects, but they're much cheaper to produce than the big boxes. I'm spending all my mystical karma energy willing that Duke Ellington 30s big band box into being! The last message I got from Scott Wenzel promised they were doing it.... gregmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave James Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 OK, let's start a business and here's how it will work. We'll charge high prices for readily available items that can be had from multiple sources for far less money. Oh, I almost forgot, we'll charge a lot for shipping too. Anyone with their head screwed even half way on would say, "whose dumb ass business plan is that?" Answer? True Blue. Perhaps when times were better and people had more disposable income, it could work, but when the economy goes south and discretionary spending with it, your business model is like the emperor's new clothes. FWIW, If I was going to try to make a go of it in online jazz music retail, I would focus most all of my efforts on bringing Japanese CD's to the American market. At least then you can justify charging premium prices because whatever the demand might be, it's greater than the supply. What I wonder is to what extent, if any, True Blue's issues may have contributed to Mosaic's financial difficulties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
