Got a shipping notice early this morning, no tracking. Actually, I don’t think that I ever received any notices for the other volumes, they just sort of randomly appeared, which is fine by me.
So I have been pushing around a couple empty Mosaic boxes that were damaged in transit. Mosaic replaced them at the time. But does anyone have a suggestion on what to do with the damaged boxes? I’d hate to throw them away but would like to clear them out. Maybe someone with a box-less set would want them. FYI: They’re the Ellington 1936-1940 Small Group Sessions and the Louis Armstrong Columbia & RCA Live Recordings.
They do licensed reissues of discs that the major labels let go out of print. They’re real CDs, not CD-Rs. There’s a local store that stocks some of these and I bought “The Gregg Allman Tour” which I missed when it was reissued about 20 years ago. Very pleased with it. Think I might have another title as well but can’t remember. If the price is right, go for it.
Mine arrived today. Never got a shipping notice, just showed up. No complaints as long as they keep coming. I think the volume number is on the cover, so that “no-7911c” is vol. 11.
In case no one else has mentioned it, the Emanem/Psi website, previously closed for the winter, now states the following:
This web site is closed for sales due to ill health.
I am not expecting to issue any new CDs, nor to reissue or repress any CDs.
M.D.

I don’t know. Ask Nate. That’s how he put. Maybe he’s being cautious. I’m just not a fan of someone who “aligns” with people advocating political violence. Certainly she shouldn’t be getting a government grant.
Glad I’m not the only one who feels this way. I called her out—not even by name— in a response to Ethan Iverson’s tweet about the award, saying one awardee was undeserving. Iverson’s response was to block me. 🤔
Nate Chinen pointed out that she aligns with groups that oppose the NEA, but has been supportive of the NEA Jazz Masters. Not sure how that works.
