Eric Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 wow ... I voted early on and felt a slight pang of over-indulgent guilt when I checked "20+" ... the hell with that Quote
LAL Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 Well the Herman arrived today.. that makes 113, plus all the selects. Mosaic-maniac numero uno now revealed. Quote

EKE BBB Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 Well the Herman arrived today.. that makes 113, plus all the selects. I´m sure that, if my wife would ever know this, she would think you´re a very baaaaaaaaad influence! She hates me each time a big black box comes... Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 (edited) 25 2/3.........missing lps #5 & #6 from the Morgan vinyl set. Anyone with a partial wanna sell/trade for a few ?? Edited August 13, 2004 by Son-of-a-Weizen Quote
BruceH Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 I thought it was getting out of hand at 17, but I guess I'm alright. At least in this crowd... C'mon, Moose, you know you want more.... Quote
BruceH Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 Well the Herman arrived today.. that makes 113, plus all the selects. Holy crap. You are the man. Quote
BruceH Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 90+ at last count. The only two OOP CD sets that I don't have are the Amos Milburn and the Master Jazz Piano boxes. Hey, everyone needs a hobby... Wow! I salute you as I listen to my Master Jazz set. Quote
Free For All Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 Alright, who voted that they have 'em all? Please adopt me. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 I thought it was getting out of hand at 17, but I guess I'm alright. At least in this crowd... C'mon, Moose, you know you want more.... Oh, you bet yer ass I do! I'm sure I'll go over twenty this year, and thanks to this poll, guilt free! Quote
sidewinder Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 (edited) Reading this again I thought it was time I counted the boxes. 86 plus the 1 Big John Patton Select. A few CD and LP set duplicates in there for the Rivers and Jones/Lewis. Partiial CD set for the Larry Young but full LP set. And a Master Jazz.. B-) Edited August 13, 2004 by sidewinder Quote
P.D. Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 (edited) Well the Herman arrived today.. that makes 113, plus all the selects. Holy crap. You are the man. You guys should realise that I have been buying them since day one.. see my comments in the Mosaic Madness thread... so I never had to catch up on any backlog. All but one, the Nat King Cole, were bought from Mosaic and therefore I never had to pay the excessive prices that some of the OOP command. I have only sold one, The Ammons Lewis vinyl set that I had replaced with the CD when it came out. I had no idea about the price, I put it on Ebbay for less than the list price, after all it was a used copy. It floored me when somebody quite happily paid $300.00 for it. A local record store had a copy of the Cole and I had a lot of duplicate CDs that I traded in against, or might not hve bought it.. at the time it seemed like an awful lot of NKC for my taste However I have never bought one just because it was a Mosaic, the ones I don't have I had no interest in, nor did I want the vinyl only sets( Miles).. I bought them on CD. Nor have I bought one with no idea or knowledge of the music it contained. I'm still amazed at the number of BB members, here and elsewhere, who will buy a Mosaic with no idea of the music within the set. I doubt that the Freddie Slack select will find it's way into my home. But just to cap it off.. I also have the Keynote box. but having a big jazz collection doesn't mean a thing. I probably know a lot about jazz history, I can probably tell you what recordings by whichever artist are considered to be the key, or landmark recordings by the jazz "critics"..but I can't tell you if it's "good" jazz or not..nor whether you will like it or not.. that's in the ear of the beholder. What I like, you might hate and vice versa. Edited August 13, 2004 by P.D. Quote

sheldonm Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 35-40 plus all the Select series. I also have just bought the ones I knew I would dig and have bought nothing just because it says Mosaic on it. That said, if I had known about Mosaic before I first heard of them, I would have easily doubled my purchases!!! Mark Quote
sal Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 (edited) 35-40 plus all the Select series. Holy shit, Mark....I had no idea! Anyways, I only have 5 sets and the first 6 Selects. But I love them just as much as everyone else. I just wish they didn't cost so much!! Watch for my next order coming to the "my Mosaic order" thread soon! Edited August 13, 2004 by sal Quote
bary01 Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 yesterday 59 boxes today 60 ! just won Jimmy Guiffre for 95 Euros at ebay.de . HOORAY !!! Quote
GA Russell Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 I have fifteen Mosaic black boxes, plus four non-Mosaic CD sets (Miles and Clifford Brown) of Mosaic LP sets. The only OOPs I'm sorry I didn't get are the Art Pepper and the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis. When my budget allows, my next purchase will probably be the Gerald Wilson. Of my nineteen sets, I have listened to only four in their entirety. Quote
mikeweil Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 12, not counting the burns of oop sets and the three I sold because I have the music in other issues. Don't ask how many are on my wish list ... Quote
marcoliv Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 23 Mosaic Sets 8 Selects the missing Selects should be in Florida on the following days i´m not counting burns or mp3s.... Marcus Oliveira Quote
BruceH Posted August 15, 2004 Report Posted August 15, 2004 Oh, you bet yer ass I do! I'm sure I'll go over twenty this year, and thanks to this poll, guilt free! Thank God for this poll!! Quote
wesbed Posted August 16, 2004 Report Posted August 16, 2004 Of my nineteen sets, I have listened to only four in their entirety. Weird, yet familiar. If my memory is good, I've heard NONE of my Mosaic Completes in their entirety. It makes me wonder why I continue to desire more Mosaics? My mind keeps telling me I will get to ALL of them in due time. Quote
