PHILLYQ Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 I recall in that time period seeing these releases in a number of stores in NYC and buying a bunch. There were also gigs galore. I recall seeing David Murray in a quartet with Blood Ulmer, WSQ, etc and I could have seen a bunch more if I had a few more $$ then. Quote
mjzee Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 There was also a time when BS/SN were distributed in the US by Polygram; they imported copies from Italy. Quote
cliffpeterson Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) Amazon.uk now making the upcoming 4 box sets available for preorder. I did a comparison between amazon.uk and amazon.fr and found virtually no difference in net cost shipped to me in the U.S. Amazon.de is considerably more expensive. On a different matter, there are Ebay auctions for individual cds by the various artists whose Black Saint recordings have now been issued by camjazz in boxes and which auctions have not recevied bids even at starting prices of #10.00.

JohnS Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) I got impatient waiting for Amazon UK to list the boxes so I ordered from Amazon France. Price is about the same only I didn't qualify for free shipping so I'm about £4.00 down though if the dates are right it looks like I may get the a week or two earlier.

jazzbo Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 Dusty Groove had them listed yesterday, though not at the prices available from Europe. Quote
PHILLYQ Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 Jazzloft has them also. Jazzloft's prices are signifigantly higher than Amazon.fr Quote
relyles Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 I ordered the Dixon, Braxton and Murray sets from Dusty Groove on Tuesday. Hoping to possibly receive them today. Quote
JohnS Posted June 14, 2011 Report Posted June 14, 2011 Just received the Murray set from Amazon Fr. Looking forward to reaquainting myself with the music. Quote
Van Basten II Posted June 15, 2011 Report Posted June 15, 2011 Ordered the Braxton, Konits and Lacy from Amazon UK, it's even cheaper than France and considering we have a postal strike here, I'm not in a hurry Quote
king ubu Posted June 15, 2011 Report Posted June 15, 2011 Got Murray and Braxton today, expecting Lacy and Konitz tomorrow! Quote
Peter Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) Grooves Inc. prices look pretty, pretty good. Edited July 19, 2011 by Peter Quote
Patrick Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 Grooves Inc. prices look pretty, pretty good. Thanks for the heads up. I just ordered Konitz, Lacy, Murray from them for $96.54 delivered. Quote
Peter Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) The only problem with Grooves Inc is, they don't have the Anthony Braxton or George Russell. Edited July 28, 2011 by Peter Quote
Patrick Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 Yep. I waited for awhile and then purchased the Russell from amazon.uk. May do something similar for Braxton. Lots of BN/SN to listen to in the mean time. Quote
BeBop Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 Wandered into the local FNAC today. They were just loaded with these temptations. Quote
Jazz_Thrash Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 First: Hi to everyone, because this is my firs post, although I have been read the forum since a long time. Speaking about Black Saint / Soul Note box sets, I have all of them, and the last that I purchased was DAVID MURRAY, because I had 3 of 5 CD's included yet. Anyway, I have a little doubt: I think that the remastered work has a little fault in the "New Life" CD. If you listen to "Blues In The Pocket", you will listen to Craig Harris' trombone solo (from 5 minutes to the end) at an extremely low volume in the mix, while the other instruments are balanced. Has anyone more noticed this? If this is true in every copy from that CD, it will be the first "bad" remaster from these boxes, because the others have a very improved sound. Greets! Quote

Hi, it's always nice to welcome another Murray fan to the board. I'm not sure it's a fault, I think he's just off mic or not plugged in. He sounds a tad distant on Morning song too. I no longer have the vinyl so I can't compare. Quote

David Murray fan, and John Zorn fan, Wadada Leo Smith fan, Miles Davis fan, Charles Mingus fan... etc... Many thanks for your answer: probably you are right. I don't have the original vinyl, but in the first CD reissue, mastering volume is a bit different and for that reason Harris seems to be more present in the record. Anyway, I think that this idea from CAM jazz is good: a cheap form to have a great part of last seventies and eighties Jazz. It deserves the buying, although you have any of the CD included in each box. Any bet about the next bunch of boxes? Greets! Quote
jazzbo Posted September 16, 2011 Report Posted September 16, 2011 Jazz Thrash, just want to say welcome to the board! Quote

Welcome aboard , would love the see the Trovesis or the Abrams come out but they are a lot of ways they can go. Quote
Jazz_Thrash Posted September 17, 2011 Report Posted September 17, 2011 Many thanks for the welcome! I'm sure that now I will learn a lot more, because until this moment, only reading thes forum I have done it! Welcome aboard , would love the see the Trovesis or the Abrams come out but they are a lot of ways they can go. I suppose that a WSQ box is probably near to be out. Maybe DON PULLEN (it will be a great selection!) or PAUL BLEY too. Quote
colinmce Posted September 17, 2011 Report Posted September 17, 2011 Also possible: more Murray, Ran Blake, Dave Douglas, George E. Lewis, Jimmy Lyons (I hope!) Quote
king ubu Posted September 17, 2011 Report Posted September 17, 2011 yeah, and more Lacy and some Mal Waldron, too! Quote
romualdo Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Posted September 17, 2011 yes to Waldron & WSQ plus Abrams, Hemphill Quote
