Paul Desmond: Complete RCA Albums Collection - $15.46

Woody Shaw: Complete Columbia Albums Collection - $15.51

Wow. Incredible prices on those.

I'll bet the shipping charges are high, though. Might double your cost, but it still may be less than other sources...

Shipping on Amazon Marketplace is $3.99 per item ordered, so both still come in under $20.

The Brubeck is also under $60 for 17 disks, but the Dexter is still pricey. I've been watching that one and the Taj Mahal (which is getting close to my jumping point, about $55 for 13 discs). The Johnny Cash is under $150 for 63 discs, but too much I'm not interested in on that set, even at $2.25 per disc. The Kansas is about $30 for 11 discs.

Today I pre-ordered the Coltrane box set 'Heavyweight Champion' from Amazon.uk for the amazing price of £25.39. I understand that it's repackaged in a clamshell box with card sleeves. Release dated quoted as 8th October.

Apparently it's part of a greater reissue programme by Warner Jazz/Rhino from the Warner and Atlantic catalogues which will include Mingus' 6 cd set 'Passions of a man'.

Just in time for Christmas, my wife has been informed!!!

I placed an order for five box sets at Amazon UK today - four Original Album Series sets and the Kevin Ayers Harvest set.

The total came to $89.41, including the $11.35 Amazon charged me for transatlantic shipping. (Amazon converted the pound at $1.61.) That's an average of $17.88 per box set, or $3.58 per disc, including shipping.

This is all to say that these 5-disc sets are cheap at Amazon UK right now.

Won't a single shipment incur heavy import duties in the US?

The Art Pepper at Ronnie Scott's 7 lp box is a relative bargain at $165 from a seller on amazon.com:

http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Pepper-Ronnie-Scotts-1980/dp/B004AGN9LW/

I got one from a seller on amazon.ca for a similar price; highly recommended if you're into vinyl.

Thanks for the link - tempting but sadly they don't seem to ship out of the US. Such a huge disparity between the cost of the CD and LP versions of this set though. Is the difference worth it for vinyl-hounds?

Try amazon.ca, this is where I got mine:

I didn't go through the whole box yet, but it sounds phenomenal; can't compare because I don't have the cd version.
