From the RedTrumpet e-mail:

To celebrate the annual “Reason to have a party and eat good food Day” please take the following discounts off all “In-Stock” items on orders placed through Wednesday February 4th

FOR ORDERS UP TO $200 - TAKE $2 OFF of EVERYTHING “IN-STOCK”

FOR ORDERS ABOVE $200 - TAKE $3 OFF of EVERYTHING “IN-STOCK”

THIS SALE APPLIES TO EVERYTHING IN-STOCK ONLY (NOT SPECIAL ORDER OR PRE-ORDERS). The total amount of the order of in-stock must exceed the above amounts. Does not include shipping costs or tax.

NOTE: Unfortunately, we cannot combine this sale with any other offer or to any outstanding orders and must ship immediately. The sale is for items that have been released not pre-orders, and cannot be combined with any other offers. Offer excludes ALL Analogue Productions items (please contact us to inquire on these).

To take advantage of this sale, just shop as usual on our Web site and when you check out, type "NEW ENGLAND” or “CAROLINA” [whoever you want or wanted if after, to win] in the comments section of your order (not the Coupon section -- it won't work). Votes will be tallied and announced in next week’s e-mail!

We will apply the appropriate discount while processing your order, so it won't appear on your online invoice but will be deducted when we process and ship your items.

PLUS, All orders over $30.00 get free Media Mail shipping.

If you have an hour or two, there are some deals to be had. Do the Advanced search for "Jazz/BigBand" (and nothing else), and browse. I don't buy a lot from Red Trumpet becaseu mostof what they sell is expensive Japanese imports. BUT - they also have many domestic Verve/Impulse & Columbia Monk reissues for $9.99. Order enough to go over 30 bucks (not too hard to do if you don't already have tehm, and that comes to $7.99 each and free shipping!

This broadest possible Advanced Search also will yield some interesting pre-owned LPs as well. Here's what I got, and the price I paid after the sale discount:

Benny Powell: Ya Betcha B.P.!! (LA Phonograph LP LAPR 003)

Pre-Owned (SS/SS) small tear in shrink (bottom left corner)

$8.00

There's more to be found if you've got the time to wade through it all. Just make sure the item is marked "In Stock". Red Trumpet's website has real time inventory updating, so if they say it's in-stock, it is. I've had only one glitch with that, and that was for some REALLY obscure Warne Marsh Japanese thing. But they finally found another copy and honored the originally listed price when they did.

I don't do a lot of business with this outfit, but everytime I do, the service is flawless. Order with confidence.
