Complete Bill Evans on Verve

You're presuming that the most dependable family of precision-guided munitions originates in the Pentagon. B-)

The Ministry of Silly Walks?

Hey how did I get involved in this?

I maintain: You can call me Lon, and you can call me Lonnie, but you don't have to call me Lonson! (Isn't that sort of how it goes?)

Better talk to Ronnie of Philly or (a la Hank) Ronnie of Chester

Hank? Chester?

You can include me among those who got the $99 special-came today. The good news is it came and that the cds appear clean and without foreign substances. The bad news is that the outer box is so rusty that my fingers are discolored just from trying to open it. The wonderment of it all-have to think the genius packager of this baby is otherwise employed.

Hey look! ...they're now in the back room putting the finishing touches on Brad's steel box !! B-)

Funny - that's the exact same device that Jack used to torture that terror suspect on 24 last week...

Oops, I meant to a la Lee, not a la Hank.

To reiterate:

[Brad]

Have you heard of Lee's song, Reggie of Chester?

Have you heard of Lee's song, Reggie of Chester?

NOW I have.

NOW I have.

Actually, Brad, although Lee recorded it, a little research on the net has just revealed that the song was written by the man I saw live last weekend, Benny Golson.

I think it's about time to kill this thread. This has gone long enough

Lucky you. Was he in Philly?

The thread that refuses to die is back. I received my box today. What an incredibly studid idea for packaging. The metal case is lame and so are the holders for the cds and the book. There's some rust and one if the cds has some scratches. I'll be tossing that metal case and buying cd cases.

You may now resume your normal programming.

That's OK. Rust Never Sleeps.

Brad: You are obviously a Philistine and as such, you're incapable of appreciating this artfully designed box.

How I pity you.

I guess you really didn't want all those CDs

ebay sale of Bill Evans box

why is he selling it now?

[Son-of-a-Weizen]

Forget that thing. Life's too short to keep some rusting ammo box from the HMS Prince of Wales on these shelves. That booklet looks like some 60's-era 'Guide to NATO Ground Forces Equipment Identification' booklet that was issued to Warsaw Pact troops.

[Brad]

Tsk, tsk. All the work you went through for that. Shame, shame as Gomer would say. Maybe the box sucks but the book looks good to me. After all the work I went through, I'm not getting rid of mine.

[Son-of-a-Weizen]

Oh Jesus...am I going to get detention for this, Brad?

The "work" = the principal of the matter.....which is a different story. Sorry Brad, but it makes no sense to me to spend money in order that I might then toss half of the set -- discard both the box and ridiculous cd holder/sleeve -- in favor of a rack of generic jewel boxes that won't have any tray inserts, etc. I'd much rather get my money back and pick up some quality Jap. import discs...or a fistful of Mosaic Selects.

Signed, Gomer (now listening to a burn of cd #3 B-) )

[rostasi]

I was wondering - and I'm being curious, not cocky, but did you not know about the nature of the packaging before your purchase?

I believe many of us spoke of that beforehand.

For my set, I was wondering just how much rust would be on mine - maybe use it as a fancy art object after emptying it's contents

...but, luckily, there's only a small bit of rust...and the booklet is still nice.

At ease, at ease. Oops, wrong movie. Actually, now that I think about it, maybe your brain's not that adled.

I continue to refrain from buying this one in hopes that they might reissue it with more sensible packaging.

But it is Verve we're talking about, isn't it?
