I just ordered these CDs from a seller on Discogs:

JAZZ
****************************************************
The Bad Plus - Never Stop (eOne/EmArcy) 
Baseline [Hein van de Geyn, John Abercrombie, Joe LaBarbera] - Standards (Challenge) 
Lee Konitz with Alan Broadbent - More Live-Lee (Milestone) 
Enrico Pieranunzi - Autour De Martinu: Live at The Bird's Eye (TCB) 
Wayne Shorter - Footprints Live! (Verve) 
Cal Tjader - Primo (Fantasy/OJC) 

OTHER STUFF
****************************************************
Beethoven - Piano Concertos Nos. 2 & 4 / Fleisher, Szell, Cleveland O (Sony)
David Oistrakh - The Complete EMI Recordings (EMI Classics, 17 CDs)
Rachmaninov - Symphonies & Orchestral Works / Ashkenazy, Concertgebouw O (Decca, 3 CDs) 
Schoenberg - Gurrelieder / Sinopoli, Staatskapelle Dresden (Teldec, 2 CDs) 

Elvis Presley - Elvis Country (I'm 10,000 Years Old) (RCA) 

This order was a great bargain. A total of 30 discs for less than $40 (plus shipping).

The 17-disc Oistrakh EMI set was only $10.50!

Eric Dolphy Out to Lunch (SHM-SACD)

and just about the entire CAKE catalogue after hearing RnRLifestyle on Sirius Lithium.  Dry irony is so deliciously British, regardless of etiology.  heh

In our area we don’t have many record shops. I thought one that had, art one point, multiple locations had gone out of business. However, I discovered today it’s still in business and went over there today and bought 

Grant Green Funk in France

Monk’s Les Liasons Dangereuse

Coltrane’s Heavyweight Champion

I could have probably found them cheaper on line but it’s also important to try to support local record stores, even if it cost me a few extra $.

Good move. No decent record stores in my area, but I do the same with the local independent book store.

I couldn't resist this for $15.17 though I have the big box. The Master Takes.

My latest purchases are all about Melvin Rhyne:

Japanese guitarist with Rhyne and Grady Tate (!)

All-Star band with Rhyne, James Spaulding, Al Kiger, Larry Ridley, Alonto "Spookie" Johnson, etc. - loose jam session affair, it seems. https://www.discogs.com/Uncle-Funkenstein-Together-Again/release/4017046

[Kate]

Phish:  Baker's Dozen.  Individually on livephish.com ($299).  Perhaps the greatest RnR transpiration in my 33 years on the planet.  Pending release of a deluxe box set consolidating all 13 shows with a cache of flea market accoutrements likely indicates the pending death of individual installments on CD; thus, purchase of all separate shows for 60% of the new glambox will be one of those future laments if eschewed.  If you don't know about the band's legendary 2 week MSG residency at this point, then I can be of no assistance.  The Caps won, eh?!  Ovie #8!!

It's better for listening. I started with the 2CD when the big box was released, much later bought the big box when it became a budget release in the EU. Then I bought the 4CD set you got, and the improved mastering by Vic Anesini from 2007 is another reason I am able to listen to this without distraction.

A true bargain ....

The image is photoshopped, though. That colour photo of tree and sky and hay(?) is nowhere to be found in the booklet. All black, white and purple text and photos.

You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Some that you recognize, some that you've hardly even heard of
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain

Announcement of the deluxe CD box set @ about $500 slated for release later this year - and with accoutrements lost on my Spartan style - sparked anxiety about the continuing availability of individual shows in physical form, so I belatedly pulled the trigger on the latter.  Certainly the most extraordinary live performance RnR event in my lifetime.

Had to make a work trip near a rare semi-local (Kingston, NY) brick/mortar shop. Was pleasantly surprised to find the following CDs (used, very good condition):

Wow. I don't think I even knew that existed. Will be very interested to hear your impressions

Knew this platter before - this is an outstanding David Murray recording with Steve Lacy`s Rhythm Section in peak form....
