ok, got a mail a few minutes ago... all they still have aside for me is the Duke Pearson... will have them hold it and think of something to add to the order. * * * the good news is that (in my message yesterday I did ask about it) they told me that the other backorder sets (I specifically mentioned these ones, all of which I want to get eventually: Jazz Crusaders, Jay & Kai, Chu Berry, Lionel Hampton, Herman Columbia, Sonny Stitt and Parker) would be available again by the end of the year. Now that's a relief indeed! Maily in the case of the Crusaders and the Stitt, which come from the EMI family as well (the Jay & Kai, btw, is the single disc). I really hope there won't be more such devastating news to come!

just what I seem to be doing right now...

I tried a mail re: holding back the Donaldson. I did get a short response from them last night saying they are 'sold out'. I'll bet they are fuming over this. No mail here Gee, I really really really am pissed about this! Really in a bad mood ever since yesterday 6 p.m.! Remember there's a 6-hour time difference between Mosaic and Switzerland, and their office hours are 9-5 Eastern Daylight Time or 15:00-23:00 Central European Summer Time. Yeah, I know, but I wrote them ten minutes after they sent out their mail and Bob did get a reply... Anyway, I ordered the Pacific and Shank/Cooper sets via Amazon Marketplace (as long as I don't have them I don't trust in getting them though...) And just to make that clear: I'm not at all pissed *at* Mosaic, but *by* this whole situation! I'm sure it hit them much worse than me! Still I've been angry since last evening... there ought to be a law against such actions!

much appreciated!

Thanks a lot, Adrian! I think I have the Washington saved at home... too bad about the Shank/Coop and Pacific trios and Don Pullen - those I'd have loved to get (also the Donaldson, Washington, Slack maybe). Got the Brookmeyer (great one!) and Patton (still unplayed, no urge for organ jazz of late), luckily!

nah you'se perfectly right sir... hence I shall not be angry any longer about having missed the Poppa Lou Mosaic... will gets me Sunny Side Up on RVG and retain the two or three olde ones and hence shall not have too much Popp-istic sameness in my life the diff'rence with RCA though seems to be that contrary to other labels, they often had more of those studio pro guys (you know, all those folks who turn up with Gil Evans, for instance, those multi-reedists etc, trumpet whisperers and all that...)

could those of you who at least managed to get the discographies please post them here? just so I can tear out my hair over what exactly I missed!? thanks!

Gee, I hate all this news - I immediately sent them a mail asking them to hold back some of those for me, but got no reply so far (probably they were flooded with orders)... I guess that's rather a bad sign, but I'd hate missing the Pacific Trio and the Shank/Coop!

Wow, this sucks big time! I didn't get the Pullen and Dexter and Johnny Richards in time, and I want the Donaldson, Pacific, Shank/Cooper and Pearson, that'll be mighty expensive!

I just got a new notebook, 2GB RAM, cheapest one I could get... Vista (cheapest version there is). I installed my olde Office XP on it, might not have been the smartest of ideas, but it's been running perfectly well for ten days now (and almost without a break). The password thing that's being lamented above you got with some XP service/security pack as well, and it seems it's sensible to use as it's one further protection against being hacked. The one issue I've had is that Outlook XP/2002 is not working properly on Vista, and as my old machine ran the Office 2003 (I had to have it redone, HD replaced, and probably the guy who did that only had Office 2003 around), I had issues getting my emails exported (creating a Personal folder 97-02 didn't solve the problem, Outlook XP still told me it wasn't compatible... that took two or three hours to do, Outlook being such a slow programme...) Then I decided to switch to Opera Mail (set-up was done in one minute, really!), but Opera only allows imports from Outlook Express, but not Outlook proper. To get OE, you'd need to get an old MS Internet Explorer (OE was a free-by/freebie - sp?). That again might cause trouble with security updates that you get in conjunction with MSIE or some such, so instead I got Thunderbird, got all the Outlook stuff in there (took only half an hour, a fourth or fifth of the time it took to get things exported/copied in Outlook!). Then I zipped the system folder there and overwrote the respective folder on the new machine, bingo, had all the mail in Thunderbird on the new one... and imported it into Opera, again in 20-30 minutes. Impressive! The bug (that seems to have never been fixed) you get with Outlook XP in Vista is that your POP-server passwords won't be stored. Each time you re-open Outlook, the password fields are empty again (of course with the "save password" box checked)... Now only one small bug remains: if I open my Access database with all my live show infos in it and go up and down with the arrow-keys, each time I hit the key, I get an extremly loud annoying alarm kind of sound... couldn't turn off the sound, and going into the rededit thing and putting in "no" (instead of the default "yes") as a value in that place where you can change these settings (googled the path, don't even remember, I'm so clueless about such crap) didn't help either. So I have to get used to using the mouse-pad instead of the arrow-keys to select the sheets there... Other than that, I'm happy now... and I guess I might change to ubuntu once I don't need MS Word to finish all the University crap (I'm just used to the old Word and don't want to learn things anew right now... otherwise I might have looked for a cheap MS Office 07, which I'm sure would have made things easier...) Anyway, I don't complain, most of my software is running again, the printer I just had to hook up and be online and all the settings were installed automatically (it's a Brother I think, not an HP).
