Those albums have not aged well for me - and I liked them (and him) back in the day. Always have found "Enigmatic Ocean", with strong guitar by Allen Holdsworth and Darryl Stuermer, to be the best of the bunch, I find myself now going to his older stuff if I am going to listen to him.

I think I'll pass on these. I am somewhat more interested in the similar Al Di Meola set, esp. from some of the secondary sellers: http://www.amazon.com/Original-Album-Classics-Al-Meola/dp/B003ZBX83M/ref=pd_sim_m_2

Not sure I will actually bite though as I have no extra shelf space at all!

Yeah, the first couple of DiMeola solo albums were good, but to my ears, he really fell off a cliff afterwards. Realistically, I'm going to go to RTF and Mahavishnu when I want to hear this sort of thing. And maybe Focus III with Akkerman at his peak. And truth be told, I'm much more likely to pull out Sugarcane Harris if I want electric violin in this vein.

Wow... I knew nothing about this label.. Were these live or studio performances or both?

I just got the Jazz on Vogue 35 CD box set and it is a tremendous bargain.

http://www.amazon.de/Jazz-Vogue-Perfect-Collection-Original/dp/B0087PI57K

Scratch that... 20 CD set.

Still a tremendous bargan, And not available for a decent price on Amazon.com US site.

I have this, and it's fine stuff, generally speaking. The 35/20 confusion is that it's 35 original albums, on 20 CDs...

Many of them ten inchers ... and most pretty good, some great. There's a long thread about the previous "original Vogue masters" series somewhere on the forums, but posting from the phone I'm not even thinking of looking for it right now.

The box is very nicely done ... got it despite having most of what's been reissued "domestically" in the past dozen or so years.

deepdiscount.com has a pretty big sale going on. 25% off not-outrageous starting prices.

Here's a sale link. http://www.deepdiscount.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/search.productBrowse?sid=5c30cdf927fed9e24b603b6e35586b112573&resultsPerPage=48&Ns=p_units_sold|1&Ne=1000&N=1000049+2391&viewType=list

I don't really shop enough to know whether these are good prices or not:

Bill Evans 1961 Vanguard $18.89

Trane 1961 Vanguard $33.47

Monk Complete Prestige $16.06

Trane One Down One Up $16.22

Pres Savoy Complete $19.17

(just some samples; actual sale is 888 "jazz" items, single discs and boxes)

Free US Shipping at $25+

I know the Trane Side Steps price is high.

Just ordered the Cobham, thanks for the heads-up!

Nice box. For anyone in the UK, FOPP have it for £8. The only negative I have is that there are no sleeve notes or band line-ups, unfortunately. Minimal packaging.
