mikelz777 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) I'm a bit past due in paying it forward but here's my offering to the first PM received: Bob Scobey's Frisco Band - Direct From San Francisco No takers? There's no tradional/dixieland fans who'll take a free disc? (Many apologies to our foreign friends but U.S. addresses only please.) Maybe I'll have to choose another to try and inject some life into this thread. Speaking of injecting life into this thread, I just checked posts since the beginning of the year and it looks like there are some who haven't paid forward since claiming a CD. Trane fanatic owes two and cliff englewood and felser each owe one. Apologies to you if you've already put in more than you've claimed.

Mikelz777 just informed me, that he will not ship outside the US. I was not aware that this thread is for US residents only. Meanwhile I got a PM from someone who is interested in my Ellington set. I will ship the Ellington twofer anyway, so I have one future cd free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because I am not willing to ship overseas by no means should infer that this thread is for US residents only. I'm certainly not the spokesman or representative for the other members of this board. It was my intent to ship a free CD cheaply via domestic mail and I failed to take into account that the membership of this board is international and that it was possible that one of our international friends might respond and request the CD. It was my oversight, I should have noted the shipping restriction in the origional post and I am sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Niko, for your sympathy, and thanks, Flurin, for your clarification. Of course I was slightly irritated by Mikelz777's answer, since I noticed that there were overseas-shippings earlier on. Anyway, I will ship everywhere and that should be the policy of this thread, otherwise it does not make much sense (Germans shipping inside Germany only, British shipping inside Great Britain only, Swiss shipping inside Switzerland only...).

Parkertown Posted December 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 I think it's certainly up to the person offering the item to be able to choose domestic/worldwide shipping. But it would be a good idea to state such up front when offering the item. This thread should not induce hard feelings amongst members...ever. I modeled this thread after the one on the Hoffman board. I recently claimed a cd from a poster in Singapore. He cheerfully shipped it to me. The spirit of this thread is just to generate a little goodwill amongst earthlings. A Karma kinda thingy... Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomastreichler Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 This is a great thread, but it is about to fall asleep.

king ubu Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Hey, Mike - I'm sorry if I stepped in a bit too harshly. It's just that all the commercial sites have "free shipping (huge print)..... US only (tiny print)" offers going on again and again, and for foreign orders they don't even offer to deduct the US shipping prize or something... sometimes I just get a bit envious of these offers that I can't make use of, and I found it a bit of a letdown to see the same thing here. Either way, of course the person who offers something can decide on how to proceed. Oh, and Tommy, we could ship some stuff to and fro... and no one could interfere, he he Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an oversight on my part and the mailing restriction should have been noted in my original post. I regret that people may think I'm being unreasonable but once I start shipping overseas, the postage costs double or worse and I have to fill out customs forms which ends up to be a lot more work and expense than it's worth just to rid myself of a CD. Anyway, that's where I'm coming from and I'm sorry that I made anyone unhappy about it. They're certainly within their rights to be unhappy about it and disagree with me.

mikelz777 Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 This CD is still up for grabs. (USA addresses only please.) (To be paid forward by me, free of charge. PM me if interested.) Bob Scobey's Frisco Band - Direct from San Francisco Review by Scott Yanow This is an enjoyable date of Dixieland, emphasizing familiar warhorses. Trumpeter Bob Scobey is in his usual consistent form and is assisted in the frontline by trombonist Jack Buck and clarinetist Bill Napier. Banjoist Clancy Hayes has six excellent vocals (particularly "Curse of an Aching Heart" and "Travelin' Shoes"), and the spirit and high musicianship overcome the familiar repertoire. AMG rating = 4 out of 5 stars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejp626 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I have a copy of Milt Jackson's Ain't But a Few of Us Left (Pablo) to give away. Very minor marks on back; plays fine. Unfortunately, the artwork, etc. is damaged, so I will only be shipping the CD. (My inbox is kind of full and I don't have time to empty it, so I will send this to the first person to reply in the thread itself. Thanks.)

PHILLYQ Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Hello all, I have an unremastered 2cd set of Bitches Brew to the first PM- please be sure to include your address.

fent99 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Been a while since I've seen anything here so have a couple of things (not all music so hope that's ok) to offer up. 1. CD - Duke Ellington Private Collection Vol 6 Studio Sessions NY 1968 Kaz (note the Kaz discs have diff Vol nos to the US editions) 2. t-shirt - Jazz Record Mart Chicago logo t shirt, grey XL. T-shirt offered since I directed a friend to the great shop a while ago. He loved it so much he bought me a t-shirt. However its a size XL and is so tent like on me, I've never worn it. Any board members like their t-shirts extra large? Send me a PM if you're interested in either. I'm in the UK by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
