alankin Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) I stopped by Newbury Comics in Northampton, Mass. after my wife's concert in Amherst. Picked up some 3.99 OJC overstocks -- Gene Ammons - Late Hour Special, Booker Ervin - Exultation!, Freedom Book and The Trance, Sonny Stitt - Night Letter, Lucky Thompson - Happy Days, Bobby Timmons Trio - From the Botton, Dizzy Reece - Asia Minor, and a few more.

sidewinder Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 In view of the prohibitive price of this rarity, I made a CD from a purchased download. Sensational stuff! Is that a hint of patriotism I detect in my left-wing soul? Isn't the Universal CD still available at around £9.99? Quote
BillF Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 Missed that one. Amazon.uk's lowest prices are £35.61 (new), £19.99 (used) and £7.49 (download). Quote

When I think that at the time we longed to hear American musicians and thought we were being served inferior stuff by the locals! We must have had cloth ears! Quote
BillF Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) The price of this one was more like it: £3.38 new including shipping Edited July 20, 2011 by BillF Quote
ejp626 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 I've been pretty good lately (with far more outgoing than incoming CDs!). But I couldn't resist this for under $3: Jim Hall Concierto (CTI) I will probably see if I can use up my soon-to-be-worthless Borders cards on CDs that are actually in stock, since I have had no luck with their on-line shopping.

Not worth it IMO , sound of the CD is poor as I'm sure was discussed here at the time of its release. Quote

Re sound, I spend quite a bit of time listening to bop sides from the 40s in comparison with which the Tubby is super hi-fi Quote

Re sound, I spend quite a bit of time listening to bop sides from the 40s in comparison with which the Tubby is super hi-fi No qualms about the sound on the LP. Both the mono and stereo versions are great ! I thought the concerns re: CD sound were with '100% Proof' and 'Mexican Green' but it sounds as if the whole lot must have been compromised. I suspect that the Japanese Digipacks are better - the one I have of 'Tubbs Tours' is fine. Quote

The soloists haven't been sufficiently "foregrounded" to make them properly audible with the band roaring behind. Edited July 24, 2011 by BillF Quote

paul secor Posted August 1, 2011 Report Posted August 1, 2011 Robert Johnson: The Centennial Collection (Columbia Legacy) Ornette Coleman/Pat Metheny: Song X - Twentieth Anniversary (Nonesuch) Both of these fall into the category of: So why didn't you do it right the first time? A: So we could sell it to you again, sucker. I'll see whether these were worth buying again. Third time around for the Johnson - counting LPs. Quote

Better than I had hoped. Quote
thomastreichler Posted August 3, 2011 Report Posted August 3, 2011 I am very happy to have found a copy of the 8 cd Mosaic box set "Classic Columbia Condon Mob Sessions", everything (box, booklet, discs) in excellent condition, for $172 (shipping incl.) through an amazon dealer (the current exchange rate of $1 = 0,8 Swiss Francs making this a good deal).
