Face of the Bass Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Figured I'd take a shot at this. If anyone would be interested in parting with this set, drop me a PM. I can offer some combination of cash and trade in return, mainly Mosaic sets. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful--if anyone failed to open the box for longer than a year, it will have completely rusted shut, and you'll have to use a crowbar to get it open. Far and away the all-time worst packaging of great music ever. gregmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaft Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Mine works fine after several years. A really great box musically! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 1960 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I've been interested in this set for awhile but unfortunately way out of my price range at present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face of the Bass Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I've been interested in this set for awhile but unfortunately way out of my price range at present. Yeah, that's why I was hoping somebody might have a more reasonable offer at there. All the sets being offered now are priced between $400 and $900. I can't imagine anyone is buying at those prices. If this doesn't work I'll just start collecting the individual CDs, where possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this doesn't work I'll just start collecting the individual CDs, where possible. Wow! 400 to 900 bucks?!? I have a still-sealed copy sitting on my shelf. But it's rusting away under the shrink wrap. I never intended to NOT open it, but when I got it it was to fill (perceived) gaps in my Evans recordings on single CDs and LPs. I've liked his Riversides more, and tend to reach for them, bypassing the Verves. Maybe I'll hang on until the (rusted) box is worth as much as a (rusted) car...

Like I said, there's some magnificent music in this set. I think the solo sessions are transcendent, and I love all the trio stuff from beginning to end. Of course, I dumped the rust box years ago and repackaged the cds into jewel boxes. gregmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christiern Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 I just opened my BE box for the first time in about seven years. No problem encountered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
