A Dozen or More Mosaics at Academy, NYC

[BeBop]

Academy in Manhattan (12 West 18th Street, (212) 242-3000) has a dozen or more Mosaics in the window. Some of the "big boxes" are up in the $350 range, and two OOP Selects are $180 each.

I left them there for you.

They do eBay, so I imagine they'd mail order.

I was there in March and didn't notice any.

I didn't notice them just a few days ago*. I've posted this because I think they just came in, so there are a bunch still on offer.

* Perhaps they were there and I missed them.

The Mosaics I saw at the Princeton Record Exchange last week were cheaper than that - usually in the $100-150 range, a few closer to 200, and the price didn't seem always related to the size of the set, or to whether or not the set was out of print. The OOP Selects were almost as much as the black boxes. If you really want some OOP Mosaic set, I would check with them first. I got a bargain, though. I bought the Duke Ellington Reprise set for $50. Only disc 1 had been opened; discs 2&3; 4&5 were still in shrink wrap.

Also got the John Coltrane Interplay box for $20. They had a note on the sticker saying Disc 4 was scratched - more scuffed than scratched, I would say, and it plays perfectly. At least they were honest.

There are a bunch of Mosaics for sale at Amoeba in Hollywood. Didn't check prices.

I was there on Saturday afternoon.

So was I. It was my 3rd visit in 4 days. I was staying about a 10 minute walk from downtown Princeton.

I drove down fron Linden. I guess I was there between 1:30 & 2:30pm, kind of a rare trip for me these days. How about that!
