Amazon allows you to search by label using the advanced search: http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html?node=2258933011. Thanks!
-
I never understood why the iTunes store never allowed search by label - not that Amazon does, at least as a dedicated search field. (They used to but it vanished). Label search would be especially useful for jazz fans.
-
Pricing is a bit ambitious as well - $20 for the cd, $30 for the flac?
-
Best of the three in my view.

Now here's a group coxing a real groove out of that piece, at last - perhaps that's what he had in mind? European classical musicians always give rather stiff and unsensual renditions. Out on 'mastered for' iTunes now. LP release in January. No cd that I can see. Sounds pretty good played via a B&W T7.

Thanks for the replies. An update: a board member who lives in Solihull - not far from me - has taken a few hundred and the jazz trio who played at our wedding party expressed an interest so the pile is going down.

I think Courtney Pine rejected one or both but the web page doesn't say http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/features/desert-island-discs/castaway/b895ca65

Drag/drop default is copy not move. You need to delete the files from your Mac.

I've recently remarried and am looking to make some space (plus I'm going digital) so I have about 2,000 cds to give away plus some boxsets (including Mosaic) to sell for a modest sum. Mainly post 1945 jazz. I live in Sutton Coldfield UK and to keep things simple it's collection only, no posting, no reserving. DM and I can supply an (out of date) excel listing.

Get Up with It (Miles Davis), a double album, has two 32 minute sides.

Free jazz that is more serene than jarring

What is the 'higher resolution'? [The second link above just goes (eventually) to apple.com.]

Are there any box bargains currently available?

Haven't see this RvG box set previously noted here. -
Eastern Sounds was one of my first ways into jazz. Still play it with much pleasure. RIP.

I've got Steve 'Silk' Hurley's 'Jack your body' on a 12" 45 and I think it's about 15 minute per side (2 cuts per side, different mixes) but there are no timings on my copy (because it's a UK edition and UK record labels have always been wary of the Trades Descriptions Act and almost never put timings on records in case some bastard sues - because the costs of defending a trivial case wouldn't be trivial for a record company), and I'm just going by memories of 1985. MG The TDAct has been replaced by the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 which says much the same thing - in particular that a criminal offence may be committed by the misdescription. This means no-one can 'sue' and prosecution is by the local authority. These days, in the era of local government cutbacks, I suspect they have better things to do.

Great deal and great music, but fyi... that price is for mp3s As I've already pointed out upthread, that was, briefly, the price of the cd box set. Doubtless a (now corrected) error. -

That's the MP3 price. CD price is $142 on up. It is now. Was the cd set when I looked. -

The Complete Original Mahavishnu Orchestra Columbia Albums Collection £14.78 from Amazon UK. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Complete-Original-Mahavishnu-Orchestra-Collection/dp/B0080R7Q4S/ref=sr_1_3?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1366348636&sr=1-3&keywords=mahavishnu+orchestra The pricing for these box sets is all over the place. The Brubeck set (currently £155) was advertised and reviewed in Jazzwise this month which suggests it might come down in price. -
I see that Italian Amazon have Bird: Complete on Verve and Brown: Complete Emarcy, April 2013 release.

Completely off topic but I've never understood why the iTunes store has never allowed searching by record label. On Amazon UK search on mp3 music/'blue note'/mp3 albums/price 'high to low' to find a few box set equivalents.
