I currently have 2 orders shipped from Europe on December 13th--one from the UK and the other from France--that are missing in action. Based on what you guys are saying, it seems that I should give them another couple of weeks before seeking replacements or refunds. In the past, shipments from Europe never took more than 2-3 weeks to get here, but I probably never ordered right before the holidays.

I was just writing along those same lines, when I saw you responded! I've read posts where Mosaic has said that the Boxed sets (not Selects) are sent out in numerical order. However, I was looking through my sets and I ordered the Lionel Hampton set in Feb. 2010 and that number is 4082/5000. Okay, now we have definitive proof that they don't go out in chronological order. I got the Hampton set two weeks ago and my number is 2481. So, the next time somebody says they put them out in the order they are shipped, just link to this thread and we can dispel that impression once and for all. CRAP! Ok, the 4082 is the LESTER YOUNG set....My Hampton is 2415. I placed my order for both the Hampton and Lester Young sets on 2/16/2010. Sorry for the confusion. But even with my typo, you getting your Hampton and it's 2481, I ordered mine a YEAR ago and it's 2415. I sure hope they have sold more than that in a year!!!! WOW. This has come up many times over the last several years, and every time someone contacts Mosaic, we get the same response--the big sets are shipped in sequential order (unless a set is returned, in which case that number is recycled). Brad received a similar response from Mosaic 5 or so years ago, and I used to quote the email HE posted whenever this came up, until I got my very own email (from Fred) a few months ago. Sorry, FOTB.

Time to trot out the email from Mosaic's Fred about the numbering of the big boxes, which I received--and posted here--in September 2010: Try to pay attention this time!

I was just kidding Randy a bit. Hopefully, he understands that--I'm pretty sure he does. And I'm pretty sure he'll also appreciate your well-deserved praise.

I really like how you've replaced Randy with a drum machine.

Puppy? 11CDs, I'd call that a pup Probably a Saint Bernard or a Great Dane.

So how long will it take this puppy to make it into "Running Low," my rationalization--er, um, I mean cue--to pull the trigger?

ELLINGTON MOSAIC DEAL ALERT Reprise Studio Recordings (European edition): $43.34 including delivery to the US, brand new from Amazon UK Marketplace seller cultureprix: http://www.amazon.co...8&condition=new

I don't see it. Was it a used set? Brand New from Newbury Comics. Now $29.99--still a terrific deal.

Good timing! I just happen to have 3 Moeran discs in the listening queue (after a couple of others, first).

I got in on that deal, even ordered the next day shipping option because the whole thing was so cheap. Jeeeeez, why don't you frickin' rub our faces in it? I'll divert the Dylan box to your address if you send me 2 Wolf Biermann cds of your choice! You know very well that I have only ONE, you sadist!

I got in on that deal, even ordered the next day shipping option because the whole thing was so cheap. Jeeeeez, why don't you frickin' rub our faces in it?

So how will those of us with affected discs know when the new one is available? Another act of God? Or perhaps an act of Sangrey?

The Philly crew! Golson, Morgan, Timmons, and Merritt. Plus that guy from Pittsburgh.

Here's the CD side--some of the smaller OOP sets seem to be doing pretty well: http://completed.sho...d=p3286.c0.m282 But definitely not as hot as the LP market.

Allen Lowe-worship is the opiate of the masses (and many iPods).

In that case, it's mighty tempting.

Does the price include the salt?

^ Not to mention the 2-3 years that immediately followed the period covered by this box.

I wish.. Me too. And so does Zoe. Maybe we can work on a trip in the future to Philly to play Chris's and FTMO in New Hope when Jim has down time with Janiva.

What??? No Chris' in Philly???

Thanks for posting that!

That would be copyright infringement and I don't think Mosaic or the authors of the booklets would be happy with that. Er - You didn't think I was being serious I hope? Not really, no; just thought I'd mention it More importantly, the guy in the car in front of you won't be happy when you slam into his rear end because you're too busy reading a Mosaic booklet on your dashboard satnav to notice that he just put on the brakes.
