Thanks for the laughs, everyone!

In the past for LPs I've always ordered direct 'from the horse's mouth' in Italy via the Rearward/Schema website and stuff has arrived fine. Must pick up this 'Encore' - at first I thought it was just a reissue of the Blue Note 'Golden Eight' but I see it is new material. So you're one of the few that would not be exited about a reissue of the original "Golden Eight"?

Thanks Michael, will grab the files, too!

grooves-inc.com has them for pretty good prices (compared to what these Rearward's usually go for) - happy to replace my crappy "review copies" of these - just ordered all three of them!

Not that it matters too much to me, but this thread might as well be merged into this earlier one:

I guess about 90% is CDs, rest is divided between LPs, MP3 while commuting, and finally MP3 or FLAC of ROIOs on the computer.

Late again - all the best, Allan! :party:

Got mine today - just two days later than Lon, that's an improval compared to the last batch of these boxes! Into the third album now

And Lon - of course! - got his copy earlier than me again

Wow, thanks so much for sharing these, Guy! Great pictures, you truly had the eye!

Bresh goes deaf?

Dexter Gordon Select - first spin ever (got it in that catastrophic autumn when all those goodies vanished within a few hours).

You mean they don't tailor make each box in accordance with the amount of CDS that's in it......I'm ordering the George Russell set with 9 CDS so it might not be a problem.....they must be making 9 cd boxes for everything. Yes and no... the Threadgill with 7 discs won't close that well, but it seems they learned and made the Russell for 9 discs a bit fatter. The Bowie with 3 discs was standard size (same as the other sets with 5 or 6 or 7 discs).

Ah well, my Lester Bowie didn't even make the few kilometres from France to here undamaged. But then wiht just three discs in there, the box is half emplty and damaged much easier than all the others.

Someone better RUN and grab the J.J. Johnson box at this great price! It's a magnificent set, in my humble opinion!

Got Mildred Anderson's "Person to Person" upon MG's repeaded recommendations (which I found last week, doing a search here and elsewhere). Blasting out of my speakers right now... very good! Indeed some great playing by Lockjaw! And Anderson sounds good, too!

Don't find it so excellent, fine, but nothing more... but I got to spend more time with both the Pieranunzi and the Motian sets. I don't mind the duplications - these sets are out for such attractive prices, I really am not bothered!

Yup, would apply for that, too - do you have a Harem, EKE?

Godot is among us...

Yes indeed! Great news, thanks for sharing!

Oct 5 also marks his 85th birthday... I hope to get it around that time - the set's been on its way for a few days now, but the recent ones took long to arrive.

Yeah, "Out of the Past" is amazing! And "The Big Steal" is very good, too! I think I've got "Crossrire" on DVD, too, but haven't watched it yet.

Yeah, I'd be all for a Frémeaux COMPLETE Bird Series... 150 Volumes of 3CD sets, or whatever it would take! A complete official/studio series is kind of pointless, I think.

Thanks for sharing that great story about Collette, Jim!

Happy Birthday Ronald! Hope you're doing great!
