Just picked up the Stuff Smith used for $55!

Picked this up at the Jazz Record Center today. All four discs and the booklet but no box. Can't wait to dig into this set!

Score!

You might check with Mosaic and see if they have any replacement boxes left that they can sell you. (Does Mosaic still do that--at least with OOP sets?)

[Tjazz]

That's strange how the LP sized booklet was included, but there was no box. How was booklet protected from getting damaged?

I can see where the box/booklet and CDs get separated, because of shelf storage. But losing the box?

Sometimes psychosis kicks in and a big bonfire is started with chants of "Damn You Mosaic! Damn You Mosaic! Damn You Mosaic!" . . .

[bluesForBartok]

yeah I thought it odd as well but hey, I'm not complaining. I was bummed when this one disappeared the way it did with no warning.

Mosaic often (usually?) has blank boxes too, which have no graphics for any particular set. I don't have any like this, but have heard of others getting 'blank' boxes before, with the appropriate plastic stuff inside, for the number of discs you have in a set (that lacks a box).

(Poorly written, to be sure, but I think you see what I'm trying to say.)

[jazzbo]

Yes, I have one of these for my George Lewis set.

And I got a blank box for the Serge Chaloff.

Sheesh!

Guy's got a beautiful wife and now this! Never ends does it?!

Yeah, I have some blank black boxes that Mosaic sent with the partial CD sets. I didn't expect to get blank boxes with partial sets. I assumed they would just send the CDs. The boxes and booklets were a bonus.

I put the CDs on a shelf and moved the booklets to a separate section. (don't know what to do with the empty boxes)

That's funny. I picked up a Stuff Smith box there last week, with nothing inside.

Yeah, did you stuff the box with other OOP LPs?

I wish I had the time. In these situations one must move really fast.
