Guess I'm too late here but if anything doesn't work out I'd be interested in both selects.

I had no trouble obtaining the Blue Note 7CD set from amazon marketplace sellers last year (cheap, too).

PM sent on the Elvin Jones set!

Just got some info from Enja Records, the quartet "Impact" is scheduled to be reissued this September woohoo! I'm really looking forward to Paper Man on CD (and also the two big band dates, both of which I haven't heard yet). Bring it on!

How about a "Complete Eric Dolphy at the Five Spot" two disc set? That's one combo that's long overdue.

Quite possible that it's a mistake on behalf of Amazon. I've boycotted pretty much every Blue Note CD with copy protection so far and I'm extremely glad that I'll be able to get those CDs for the usual low European prices in the future instead of having to import every single one.

I bought this back when I was still new to the whole shred thing. It's incredibly boring. Stay away from it!

It seems these Conns are coming out a few weeks later here in Germany. Can anyone confirm that the UK version is definitely without the recent EMI copy protection?

Let's hope they've really stopped. I'm pretty sick of having to leave albums that I'm interested in in the local stores because I have to order them from an American online store.

You should definitely grab the Mosaic Select set that has three CDs of the same group (minus the Johnny Griffin guest appearance) at Keystone Korner in 1977 (I think). Excellent stuff.

I really hope they get more of those, I didn't really know who Art Pepper was when they had the boxset available and now - after sampling some of his work - I've been kicking myself for not buying the set back then. Let's hope they also get the Art Pepper Village Vanguard set and the Joe Henderson "Milestone Years" box.
