riverrat Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) Newbury Comics is selling the OOP Original Jazz Classics CD of Don Wilkerson Texas Twister for $1.99 plus shipping. Nice price for an OOP title that is also a nice session, easily compares with his Blue Note sessions, with maybe a little more fire... They also have the SACD Hybrid pressing of Wynton Kelly Kelly Blue for $3.99. Edited February 19, 2010 by riverrat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Ordered - thanks for the tip. I've gotten 2 OOP OJC's from Newbury before. They rock. Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Unlike Wilkerson's BN sides, Texas Twister is a totally burning "straight ahead" session. Carpe diem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I always thought the Blue Notes were straight ahead, too. But grab this one or die incomplete. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Ok, substitute "hard-boppis blowing session" for "straight-ahead". That might be more usefully specific for the distinctionary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gould Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I don't understand MG's comment at all. To me, there is a real and impossible-to-miss stylistic difference. The Riversides are Wilkerson's jazz sides and the three BNs are his havin' a party/good time/R&B sides. For some reason I have never gotten into the Riversides but regard the BNs as desert-island recordings. Well at least one or two are since there always seems to be a problem with space even though its a deserted island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Is there more than one Riverside? Fantasy only re-issued one, and of course Concord nada. Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 . For some reason I have never gotten into the Riversides but regard the BNs as desert-island recordings. Well at least one or two are since there always seems to be a problem with space even though its a deserted island. I am just the opposite. The Blue Note sessions are nice, although I rarely listen to them. Texas Twister is by far my favorite and most played Wilkerson, along with the sides with Ray, of course.

Dan Gould Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I was thinking of Wide Open Spaces but now I realize that is Fathead with James Clay, not Wilkerson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, well, straight ahead, as compared to, say, David Newman's "Mr Fathead" or "Keep the dream alive" or Stanley's "The look of love" etc etc. Or, as compared to Fred Anderson or Ornette, say.

Man with the Golden Arm Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) yes they do and I'm happy they've stuck it out while the Towers and Virgins went by the wayside. there is a Starbucks right next to the N C store here and walking out with something from the rarely pawed jazz bins versus an overburnt beverage is a no brainer.

bertrand Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Now that record stores are dead, I plan to patronize thier online store a lot. Their prices are good as is their service. Not quite sure why some items are not available at their store but only at Amazon. I sure wish they'd open a brick and mortar store in the D.C. area. Bertrand.

Man with the Golden Arm Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Hey Man with the Golden Arm, which Newbury's do you frequent? The one in Norwood? Tom, not so frequently but Peabody - Burlington is better. Stopped at the Harvard Sq Garage a couple weeks back and that place was loaded.

colinmce Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 It's a small gripe, but I wish I could combine shipping on their Amazon items. A $1.99 item becoming a $4.98 item still makes it a fine deal, but knowing it all ships from the same location makes bulk ordering feel like a rip off-- on Amazon's part, not Newbury's.

Big Wheel Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 It's a small gripe, but I wish I could combine shipping on their Amazon items. A $1.99 item becoming a $4.98 item still makes it a fine deal, but knowing it all ships from the same location makes bulk ordering feel like a rip off-- on Amazon's part, not Newbury's. Agreed, but unfortunately that is likely much of the appeal to sellers. I once read through some of the documentation on Amazon Marketplace and I seem to remember that Amazon kicks back at least a chunk of that $2.99 to the seller to "cover shipping and handling costs." So a canny seller can mark down their goods knowing that the price they'll get for it is almost $2.99 more for every item. Does anyone know how bulk product uploads are done on Amazon by Marketplace sellers and what information a seller can download in bulk? I'm curious as to how "sticky" prices tend to be in the Marketplace and am wondering how easy it is for a Marketplace seller to get into a price war with other Marketplace sellers selling the same items.

RDK Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Is there any easy way to search Newbury's Amazon storefront for bargains like this? I bought tons of stuff from them when they used to run their penny auctions on Ebay, where the shipping was more reasonable for bulk orders.

bertrand Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) Since I stayed home sick from work today, I was planning to flip through my full-color Fantasy catalog and see if they're any titles on my wish list that you can get for cheap this way. There must be a more scientific method So you are saying that even if I combined two titles in one order, I still pay for shipping for each? Bertrand.
