Wow, a stack of Mosaic brochures

[Tjazz]

ebay sale

Did someone here buy these?

[Hardbopjazz]

I would never thought of collecting them. I usually through them out whenever I get them and read through them.

I save mine but never thought of selling them on ebay. Anyway, mine only go back to 1999.

I've got most all of them going back to #9 or so. . . .

But I don't get excited about them any longer. Partly it's because I've become a jaded collector. Partly because I talk about Mosaic more and more over the years on board and in email, and because the website now gives me the breaking news that the brochures used to. . . .

I can really remember the excitement of getting my first Mosaics, and the way I used to just pore over each brochure. . . !

same here, back then the brochures also had a brief article or even an interview elevating it above being a mere sales leaflet ....

[jazzbo]

That's a good point, indeed. I still remember the interview with RVG for instance. Wow!

Same here. I remember buying a lot of the boxes back in the eighties. All the boxes came with the latest brochures. I go back to brochure nr. 5, the one that had Herbie Nichols on the cover!

I kept all the brochures.

Yeah, my brochure run started with #7 or 8 (whichever had Cecil Taylor on the cover). As my file cabinet got jammed, I said,"WHY am I keeping these around? WHO have I gotta convince at this point?" They were thoughtfully recycled with my office paper and I haven't kept any since.
