cross post from the "On the Corner" box thread.....

Has anyone else noticed that (apparently) all of the CBS titles are gone from the Yourmusic/BMG sites???????? No more Miles boxes are available. Ditto on Dylan.

Oh, man! What a drag. I was (like many here, I'm sure) planning to get the On the Corner box there. And that's where I've bought the majority of my Dylan collection. Ah, well. I've got ECMs stacked up for the next six months or so....

I was planning on buying the On the Corner box and probably the Brubeck 5-CD box.

But I was surprised to see that of the fifteen items in my queue, none of them were Sony/BMG, so apparently the loss of that label won't mean as much to me as I first thought when I heard the news.

Dammit, I just bought the Peterson and the Hawkins this weekend (for 11.99 each)! I thought I bought the Gillespie, but apparently I put it back (y'gotta understand, I was at Waterloo going apeshit and spent over $100). So, at least I can order the Gillespie at the reduced rate.

But still...... (whine whine whine whine whine)

You should have skipped the Hawkins, it sounds like an off day for him, and Pete Brown (who I like on a Classics compilation) is having a really bad day on this date.

No sign of those In Newport albums for me in my searches on Your Music today.

Also noticed that the Billie Holiday Columbia sets that were in my cart are now gone, so Columbia must have pulled them.

Really? I'm listening right now and these guys sound like they're on fire to me! Diff'rent strokes, I guess. :)

It has seemed to me that there hasn't been much conversation the past few months both here and at the "What's next on your queue?" thread. Maybe the thrill of cheap CDs is wearing off.

Granted, there hasn't been much in the way of new listings, but I'm not seeing comments about great finds and such either. Perhaps folks here either buy a CD when it's first put on the list or not at all.

As I mentioned on the other thread, one day I just perused through the catalogue with nothing better to do, and discovered that they had Gerry Mulligan's Jeru. That has turned out to be the best album I've picked up from Your Music. (Unfortunately, it's a Columbia, so it's no longer available.)

So I figure there must be other gems waiting to be had, but we're not talking about them!

Not really. I don't usually post what's in my queue as I use yourmusic in many different ways. Sometimes I'll pick something with the live-in in mind, such as Traffic's "The Low Spark..." (though I like it too.) 2 months ago. Last month it was the Merle 2-fer of "Mama Tried/Pride In What I Am?" Up next is Alejandro Escovedo's "The Boxing Mirror" unless it gets bumped for something else. Some things in the queue are to replace badly scratched old favorites (Neil Young's "Zuma.") Haven't been grabbing much jazz as classical is "newer" for me. I'm probably confusing them by alternating between country & classical picks. I guess the last jazz pick was Andrew Hill's "Compulsion."

I've got 48 things in my queue, though many won't be gotten. Some are there just to remind myself to investigate further, others to remind me about gift ideas.

I've been having a hankering for some Beethoven string quartets, and saw Chuck's rec regarding the Takacs Quartets. As these are multiple disc sets it'll entail a non-queue purchase. And probably fairly soon - a little gift to myself for finishing holiday shopping perhaps. :)

Why?

Just because, I guess? There seem to be a lot of performances on there that aren't otherwise available, plus it's a good price for a 2-CD set. Although, to be fair, I wish they hadn't put performances on there that are already on the other AT NEWPORT discs.
