Rosco Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Just checked my box - hadn't listened to it yet as only recently received it looks like I've got a dud one too I can also confirm that all 3 CD's Ming, Hope Scope & New Life are in mono (others are OK) - opened all of the tracks from each CD in audacity & was able to observe the wave forms Compared the Craig Harris trombone solo (Blues In The Pocket) from the boxed set & to an original CD that I still have (hadn't offloaded it yet) - what a difference!! time to send an email to Cam Jazz - has anyone actually received a reply from them confirming that they will replace the set? Their reply to my email: ...thank you for your email. Probably is a mistake of our manufactoring.....we will reprint this title and we can send another copy of Box Set of David Murray within a few days. I will advice you when the Box Set will be available. In the meantime you can please give me your address where I can send it. Best Regards CAMJazz Staff No word on availability as yet.

They seem like a decent organisation. Edited January 13, 2012 by JohnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cliffpeterson Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 I ordered three all at one time for myself and two friends. cheaper ordering in bulk. My copy of new life is wrong. That trombone solo starts at around 4:30. the disc in the box is awful. compared it to the older single cd release. there, the trombone solo is really present Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tranemonk Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 I'm up for 3 out of the 4... Not much of a Guiffre fan.... I wonder when we'll get a US distributor? For some reason it seems to take months for a US distributor to get these releases..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeway Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Most of these boxes I usually have all but one, maybe 2, of the albums, so have taken a pass. It's kind of frustrating really, but I don't like buying duplicates. I only have the Bill Dixon and Threadgill. But I'll probably pop for the Giuffre and Pullen boxes. I have 1 from the Giuffre and 2 from the Pullen, and the Pullens are on LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason it seems to take months for a US distributor to get these releases..... You don't save anything really by waiting. I've pre-ordered all of mine via amazon.fr and gotten them quickly and well-priced. Most of these boxes I usually have all but one, maybe 2, of the albums, so have taken a pass.

When I've compared the earlier cd to the remastered, I've been greatly impressed with the sound of the remastering in these sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly know now!!! Ah well - the recent gaffe in the Universal France Ella box was fixed within days... doesn't make much of a difference, it's just a bit weird since the box has been out quite a while. That's all I wanted to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
