Amazon US is advertising a rerelease of Beauty is a Rare Thing. From Amazon: "6-CD, Released for Coleman’s 85th birthday, this is a reconfiguration of the original Rhino boxed set which brought these legendary recordings out on CD for the first time, Beauty Is A Rare Thing is presented in a sleek, hard clamshell box, with the CDs held in elegant card sleeves and a glossy 70-page booklet." I have been keeping my eye out for used copies of this set, until now. Anyone else heard about this rerelease?
