Are there any box bargains currently available?

And where's the "Big Band" version of George Jackson?

[mjzee]

Also, the flip side of the 45 of Gotta Serve Somebody was Trouble In Mind...don't think that's been reissued anywhere. There was also a song he did on a Chabad telethon, backed by TP & The Heartbreakers: "Thank God." Very good song, but never saw it on record.

Gerald Wilson - Moment of Truth/You Better Believe It! - 9.21 GBP

Interesting to note all the tags attached to Gerald Wilson - Moment of Truth/You Better Believe It! twofer in the amazon link

" [box set, Single, Collector's Edition, DTS Surround Sound, DualDisc, Enhanced, Explicit Lyrics, Extra tracks, Limited Edition, Original recording remastered, Ringle, SACD, Soundtrack, Import] "

I hope this is an SACD (preferably a hybrid), though "Explicit Lyrics" on two instrumental albums seems unlikely. Gerald could well be uttering an expletive on the cover of Moment of Truth, given his stance and facial expression.

Frankly it all seems rather unlikely. "American Jazz Classics" certainly appears to be yet another name for the hydra that is Fresh Sounds. Paying extra for a SACD of what is most likely ripped source material really exemplifies what Barnum said all those years ago.

[Jazzsphere2005]

I wrote in jest - I think the whole tag list is rubbish (except perhaps for "Import" if you don't live in Andorra / Spain). I will be listening to my G Wilson Mosaic set to check for swearing though.

Just ordered a copy - great price

Also, what's up with Amazon's shipping rates (international) - have they been dropped? - only cost me $6 to ship to Australia (usually 14-15)

Same with the 10DVD Ken Burns box which I just bought - on special for $41 (Amazon) & shipping was only $7 to Australia

Thought I'd finally go for it (in the face of good & bad reviews), especially at that price - the full series was never shown here & our DVD release set was seriously truncated
