Face of the Bass Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hello all, I'm looking for a copy of this set, either for sale or trade. If you have one and might be interested in working out a deal, please send me a PM. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.W. Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 You're looking for the Mosaic set, right? LP or CD? I'm asking because this material - or at least most of it - has been reissued more than once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face of the Bass Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Yeah, the Mosaic set, either LP or CD. If one can't track that down, what are the best alternatives to get these recordings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmce Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 The Vogue material is available on a CD called Piano Solo. The Black Lion is available on 3 separate CDs. There is a set of all 3 but that tends to cost more than the 3 discs individually. Looking at Amazon you can get all 4 CDs at the marketplace for $23.66 + 15.96 shipping, running a shade under $40. Pricewise it sure beats the Mosaic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pricewise it sure beats the Mosaic. Beware of more recent Black Lion reissues, though, they're all riddled with heavy noise reduction. The music really does suffer.

Clunky Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 The Vogue material sounds vastly better on my French Vogue CD compared to the Mosaic vinyl. I guess that only a 2nd or 3rd gen. tape can have been available to Mosaic. The rest of the Mosaic set sounds excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romualdo Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 there are 4 titles (alts) from the Black Lion / 1201 CDs not in the Mosaic set while the latter contains one title not in the 3 individual discs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stay away from the 1201 versions and stick to the old Black Lions. Better sound IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmce Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 FWIW the Black Lions I was referring to/price-checked were the old ones, not the 1201s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
