John L Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Why can't they market us the disc of unreleased music separately? Guess you never took a marketing class. I am not at all sure that this is a smart marketing strategy in this day and age. Sure, there are probably a number of people who will buy this set only because of the single new disc. But I bet that there are a lot more people like me, who would have gladly pre-ordered a single release of disc 3 for $25, but will now wait and download it somewhere for free without any feelings of guilt. I make a point of not taking free downloads of music that is commercially available. But if a music company wants to play dirty with me, trying to force me to re-purchase music that I have already have, technology now allows me to play dirty too.

I understand where you are coming form with your statement. I have the other material and can't see buy the same music a second time for the one live disc. But if I stumble upon a 50 dollar bill floating in the wind, I will use it to by this release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 You got "standards" ... "jazz originals" That's my preferred terminology. (In case anyone always wanted to know...) And when something gets lyrics..."Stain Doll" falls into all categories! Stain Doll? That's when you pull out of the Warm Valley just in time? As for the marketing discussion... that kind of thinking seems to be a major reason why so many things are in such a rotten state these days... and why many non-thinking folks don't even seem to take notice of that. And I did finally cave in and order the box... albeit having the Mosaic as well as LP and CD of "Stepping Stones". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Received my set and listened to it yesterday. Fabulous, well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMP Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Very nice package, and nice to have that cut that Michael Cuscuna left off "Stepping Stones" because it was too "commercial" (or whatever word he used). (And what does he have against a tune like that? Many people bought albums FOR a track like that!) (Don't think many people bought "The Sidewinder" for Gary's Notebook...)

T.D. Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 I bought the set (fully agreed on its merits) and was given a coupon code SAVE10NOW for 10% off my next order. Passing this along - maybe it'll work for others. I'm currently on the fence re. using it to order the Paul Desmond / RCA "complete albums" set...

I can live with this solution to the problem. Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr jazz Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 took a while for this luddite to download them but I finally got it done. Had a $2.00 credit so only $7.99. Thanks Bertrand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertrand Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) Idiotic amazon pricing policy. I bought each track individually for a total of $4.95 instead of $9.99 for the whole thing. Bertrand. Edited May 5, 2012 by bertrand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Up - Sainsbury's for £16.99 pre-order at the moment for anyone in the UK still after this ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Man Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Mine arrived from Sainsbury's whilst I was away this weekend. Decent presentation with a readable booklet (always a bonus) and nice facsimile LP covers as CD slipcases. For that price it's a steal!

sidewinder Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 For that price it's a steal! Indeed - absolute bargain. Mine has been on constant rotation. Wish they would do the Dexter Gordon at that price ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
