pglbook Posted July 28 Posted July 28 I just placed my order. I really like the change to a hardcover book. And the listening samples sound excellent. I am looking forward to this, especially as a lot of this music will be new to me. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted July 28 Posted July 28 A discographical listing would help me make a decision. Quote

EKE BBB Posted July 28 Posted July 28 (edited) What do you think about the pricing of this set? It is roughly $25 per CD, clearly above the usual ca. $18. Does the hardcover book justify this increase? Edited July 28 by EKE BBB Quote

jazzbo Posted July 29 Posted July 29 An interesting exchange from facebook: Christopher Walters · I don’t want to be picky, but I wish somebody would do a conscientious job and reissue some of the lesser known titles that Louis appears on in the 20s. Besides all of the appearances with Nolan Welch, Lily, Del Christian, Seeger Ellis, and others that would be fantastic. I cannot wait to hear how this set sounds! Judging from the audio samples, it’s amazing.  Ricky Riccardi · · Author Christopher Walters It’s all coming, Christopher, just requires a little patience! We’re now in the public domain era so a recording has to be 101 years old before you can reissue it (without label approval…and sadly the labels no longer care). I’m currently working with Archeophone on a set that will include all of Louis’s 1925-1926 accompaniments and there’s already talks to keep going….by 2029, everything Louis recorded through 1928 should be out in freshly restored sets with new notes and great sound. Stay tuned! Quote
gmonahan Posted July 29 Posted July 29 Preordered, of course. I'll be interested to hear how it sounds compared especially to the 3-cd Henderson set I already have. Quote
hbbfam Posted July 29 Posted July 29 If the rest of the set sounds like the samples posted, this will be outstanding. Quote
jazzbo Posted July 29 Posted July 29 Perhaps of interest to some here. . . Gertrude "Ma" Rainey, the Complete Paramount Recordings 1923-1928 https://blackswanrecords.org/ Quote

hopkins Posted July 29 Posted July 29 The samples available on Mosaic's website sound good (I compared them to a few versions available on streaming sites). Quote
street singer Posted July 29 Posted July 29 (edited) The decision to go with a hardcover book for this one is interesting. New precedent for Mosaic releases? Or just exclusive to their forthcoming series of Armstrong releases? Also wondering if there well be room in the box for the book, or if it will need to be stored separately. Storing the book separately from the box is going to trigger some collector's OCD tendencies... UPDATED: Just noticed on the Mosaic website: "The 8″ x 11 1/2″ book is packaged in the standard 12″ × 12″ Mosaic Records box and rests securely on a custom-cut foam platform designed to keep it in place during shipping and handling." 👍 Edited July 29 by street singer Quote

2scoops Posted July 30 Posted July 30 TYQ is a better price than Jazz Messengers, who seem to have lost the plot recently. Their pricing is no longer as reasonable as it used to be and I’ve had a couple of customer service issues too. YMMV however. Quote
Late Posted July 30 Posted July 30 Ordered. The sound samples broke me down + the preorder discount. I'm especially excited about the Fletcher Henderson tracks in improved sound and all together. Quote

Indeed. 149 vs 200 EUR. Belgium wins. Quote

jazzbo Posted July 30 Posted July 30 (edited) Not mentioned, the only mentions from Mosaic of upcoming are those future Non-Armstrong "public domain" sets mentioned above. Ricky Ricardi has noted however that Archeophone Records is planning a second Armstrong set in the near future years. Edited July 30 by jazzbo Quote
