Looks like all of the box set deals are gone from the website again - either they're sold out, or they've flagged the sets to not show up in search results, as I think someone mentioned earlier in the thread. I'd intended to pick up both of the Stax/Volt singles box sets (vols. 2 & 3), but got distracted by work this week and figured I'd have time to place an order this weekend. Anyone know if entering the stock number directly still works?

That's funny, the "Mexican" neighbors across the street from my house usually keep an eye on things to make sure no one bothers the packages that are left on my doorstep. Guess your Brown guy needs to get up to speed on how things really work. Back to the Cellar Door set, my scheduled delivery (via UPS) is 12/27, but I was kinda hoping it might get here early since it showed up as "arrival scan" here in Houston yesterday morning, but so far no such luck. I figure they're probably pretty busy with last-minute pre-Christmas deliveries today. Dave

For the true completist, someone put Vigotone's "Jewels and Binoculars" up on dime within the past year or so - a mind-boggling 26 CDs represented to be all extant live Dylan recordings from 1966! This one's gotta rank up there with Benedetti's Bird recordings for sheer obsessiveness.

Seems like San Antonio gets better big name jazz than any other Texas city. Just this year or so I've seen, Herbie, Wayne, James Moody, Wynton & LCO, Joey Defrancesco and others in SA. I'll post if I see anything else come up. ← Wayne is also playing in Houston next month (October 14): http://www.dacamera.com/artist3.html Dave ← Damn and double damn! Here in Houston and I'm playing my own concert tonight and can't go! Hey, you must be David Garrett from the Mobius forum? Hi! ← One and the same - I obviously post more frequently there than here, but I didn't discover the "big O" until fairly recently. You have my sympathies for the scheduling conflict - if it's any consolation, I'll think of you while I'm listening to Wayne and his band in a few hours.

Wow, that's unbelievable. I got one of these a couple of years ago and only paid $150 or so for it. Plus this one doesn't include the 2-disc "Away From The Past", which contains material from other 1966 shows and was issued with some copies of the box set in the same kind of gatefold mini-LP sleeve as the other discs, with matching artwork.

I just picked up a sealed copy of this set on eBay a couple of months ago for $46.00 - I was kinda surprised I got it, as I'd recently been outbid on another one that wasn't sealed but still sold for significantly more than that.

Agreed - when my wife and I were married, we used "The Single Petal of a Rose" for the wedding processional music. I made sure Ellington had a prominent role at the reception, too: our first dance as bride and groom was to "Day Dream", and the entire Far East Suite was played during the evening as well. Dave
