For those worried about Grooves Inc order, my Haden box just arrived today. All fine, just a matter of days after despatch notification (29/3) so the within europe timescale seems very efficient. Placed my order 24/3 so more than happy with the service. Thanks again Romauldo for highlighting this source.

As for the sleevenotes? You'll need one helluva magnifying glass to read them on some of the repro sleeves. On others the font size is just readable without.

thanks Man... that's very reassuring.. Nice to know that we have another great supplier (with free worldwide shipping!).... :excited: :excited:

Gibert Joseph on the Boulevard Saint-Michel! Within walking distance from my place

Nice !

Wouldn't a Bill Dixon set be really, really cool? 9 CDs, and I have none of them so far

[clifford_thornton]

Yeah, that would be cool. Although the liner notes are nearly as worth having as the music in this case.

[colinmce]

Ran Blake, too.

[tranemonk]

not me... NOT my cup of tea..... :angry:

Ran Blake, too.

Would really love to see this happen. Half of the Bill Dixon discs on these labels are OOP at the moment (and those are the ones I'm missing, of course).

My order of all 4 from grooves-inc.com just arrived. Ordered on March 25, arrived on April 5. Very well packaged. Everything still sealed. No box dings or other issues.

[tranemonk]

Cool.. Hopefully I'll get mine soon.. I'm jealous! :blush2: :blush2:

I'd plunk down for that; the two Dixon Soul Notes I have are really good, "Thoughts" in particular.

Don't know if its been suggested already but would a Andrew Cyrille box be out of the question? I have three of his leader dates and they are all very well worth having.

edit for leaving out a word.

I haven't even gotten an shipping notification from grooves yet - not that I'm worried, but they're shipping from the country I live in, so a parcel should take maximum two days... I ordered on March 26, probably they couldn't handle all our orders.

Btw, I'd be all for a Ran Blake - and I don't quite see why adding three angry smilies is necessary if you don't like his music...

Received my Threadgill box today. I can hardly believe how quickly it got here - especially considering it recently cost me $25 to get a box to Canada... and it took over two weeks to get there.

[tranemonk]

I just saw him once in concert and REALLY didn't like his music....

[clifford_thornton]

To each their own, but I'm surprised it resulted in such a strong reaction (rather than "meh").

I'm sticking to my guns that a crucial fact of the Dixon material is the liner notes. There's a presentation there going way beyond what's normally expected for even an independent release. Plus, the paintings on the covers are mighty fine.

[king ubu]

Yes, it was the strong reaction that made me react in the first place...

So you'd recommend looking for the Dixon discs like they came out earlier... which ones are the ones to absolutely check out?

Received my Threadgill box yesterday.

[Van Basten II]

I ordered them all from Amazon France and they seem to have problems with the Threadgill set also, guess it was more popular than they expected.

[JETman]

I ordered the Pieranunzi and Rava from Amazon France and the Threadgill direct from CAM Jazz (after I realized that I was missing a few of those discs too). All have shipped.

[tranemonk]

I ordered all four from my new friend at grooves-inc. :blush: Although it does take a few weeks to make it stateside, the prices were great as well as free shipping!!!! I'm still waiting on the Threadgill and the Rava which should be here anyday. :cool:

[David Ayers]

As for the liner notes, perhaps in due course someone who has the technology could scan these in and make them available on the board? That can't be me as I don't have the technology, and in any case we are talking about boxes that don't exist yet (like Dixon). But that could be a way for those who own the LPs to offer a 'service' to those who buy the boxes and enhance the experience a little - maybe? Like I say, I imagine you need a large scanner or other equipment to scan these in. Any comment?
