Basie Studio Roulette

[king ubu]

Seeing that Basie set on Ebay (buy it now for 1200$ or something crazy), and having the live set, I often wondered what the studio box is like. It seems they made only 3500 of it.

Does anyone have a discography he's able to post here? Or just a list of the albums included?

thanks,

ubu

Wow, thank you very much FrancoisD. I've been looking for this data online for some time. I eventually got the booklet for the set, but have never gotten around to entering all of this data into my database file.

Since I do have the booklet, I can offer the following correction/addition. On the above list, toward the end of DISC IV, I see an error beginning at session (S) and the omission of session (T). Here is how it's listed in my booklet:

Seeing that Basie set on Ebay (buy it now for 1200$ or something crazy), and having the live set, I often wondered what the studio box is like. It seems they made only 3500 of it.

Does anyone have a discography he's able to post here? Or just a list of the albums included?

thanks,

ubu

1200$???

Oh, my God!

[jazzbo]

1200 dollars! Wow. . . I didn't know my set was potentially so valuable! I should listen to it more often!

I saw that on eBay, too! You can't miss it, as the dude has it on display on the main jazz CD page.

May I also say $1200, wow!

Absolutely nuts, considering that many of us could easily get a burn from a friend.

Basie is tops, but $1200 for 8 (was it?) CDs! When I saw the item, someone had already bid about $400, which, I think, is also ridiculous.

Also, I suppose the CDs will be old 16 bit ones, with sound not up to today's standards.

Anyway, we enjoy freedom of trade, and a guy can sell anything for as much as he wants.

[jazzbo]

Ten cds in this set.

I'll say one thing: the sound on the set is superb. It's better than the individual cds that have come out from the set in the last few years. Just some of the best sounding Mosaics ever. (The original recordings were very well produced by Teddy Reig!)

François - huge thanks for taking the pains! I was googling up and down for this one. Must be one hell of a great set!

only if you burn me a set first.

The Basie Roulette Studio box was excellent but the real gem from Mosaic for Basie fans was the 'Complete Roulette Live Recordings' box. That one included tons of previously unreleased material and was a true revelation of the New Testament band. That band caught live was dynamite!

[marcoliv]

what shall we do to become friend to people who owns the studio set?

i´m chasing down this one for centuries!!!

[mikeweil]

What's a friend?

Someone who sends you a burn of an OOP Mosiac set you're dying for ...

[marcoliv]

where is the "friend" store?

[sidewinder]

If the CD box goes for $1200, the mind boggles at what the vinyl version might fetch...

[Brad]

Hate to ruin all this love making going on but could somebody who has the set list the album titles or am I just being lazy and perhaps I should march over to AMG.

I was lazy too, and yet some love-making guy offered me huge help...

And Roulette albums are usually pretty bad-covered at AMG, I think.

Since I don't have any of the sets, you have just moved to the VERY top of my buddy list. I love you, man.

[king ubu]

ubu

[neveronfriday]

That was a pretty lame attempt to get out of the top spot.

Try again.

I can take it.

Lots of it.

Basie style.

Want to know how king ubu treats his friends?

Here you are:

MERE UBU

Ca m'est bien égal!

PERE UBU

Oh! mais tout de même, arrive ici, charogne! Mets-toi à genoux devant ton maître (il l'empoigne et la jette à genoux), tu vas subir le dernier supplice.

MERE UBU

Ho, ho, monsieur Ubu!

PERE UBU

Oh! oh! oh! après, as-tu fini? Moi je commence: torsion du nez, arrachement des cheveux, pénétration du petit bout de bois dans les oneilles, extraction de la cervelle par les talons, lacération du postérieur, suppression partielle ou même totale de la moelle épinière (si au moins ça pouvait lui ôter les épines du caractère), sans oublier l'ouverture de la vessie natatoire et finalement la grande décollation renouvelée de saint Jean-Baptiste, le tout tiré des saintes Ecritures, tant de l'Ancien que du Nouveau Testament, mis en ordre, corrigé et perfectionné par l'ici présent Maître des Finances! Ca te va-t-il, andouille?

Il la déchire.

MERE UBU

Grâce, monsieur Ubu!

Grand bruit à l'entrée de la caverne.

have fun!

ubu

[neveronfriday]

A bit of torture? That's all?

I live in Germany.

We've got a social-democratic government.

'Nuff said.
