Bill Nelson Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 Yep, I'm also betting the Elvin is the next to go 'Running Low'. Xmas may be a little late this year. Good thing my birthday's in late August. Fortunately (and inexplicably) most of Elvin's Blue Notes are no longer available as single CDs. Otherwise, one must look to Japan, right? Quote
David Ayers Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 Last year it was the Morgan/Shorter and Kelly/Chambers sets which sold out suddenly and quickly. In the past the same has happened for Ellington and Stuff Smith. The era of the leisurely countdown and waiting to pull the trigger is over! We are being given a lesson in life about hesitation... or at least I think we are, I'm not sure if I can to commit to that, ask me again next week, pros and cons, etc. Quote
EKE BBB Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 I received the invoice of my Byrd/Adams set yesterday. Hopefully the box will arrive in a few days. Quote
jazzmessenger Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 You should call them.... most people who ordered theirs last week got them already.... and yes Big Deal... they are that quick.... I am still waiting for mine... ← ← It was at my doorstep when I came home last night. Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 The era of the leisurely countdown and waiting to pull the trigger is over! We are being given a lesson in life about hesitation.. You're right! In these uncertain times, one must play good offense! Now's the time to get that Jazztet set! Quote
Ron S Posted June 15, 2005 Author Report Posted June 15, 2005 So why hasn't this set, 5 days after it went OOP, been enshrined in the sanctified "Mosaic Collections No Longer Available" list yet? Could it be some sort of Stalinist Mosaic plot to pretend that this set never even existed? Pepper Adams' mysterious absence from the cover takes on a whole new meaning. Definitely something to think about: Quote
BFrank Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 FWIW, Stuff Smith was pulled because of some sort of contractual problem and didn't go OOP for the usual licensing reasons. Quote
sidewinder Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 Now's the time to get that Jazztet set! ← Only after Caiman have listed the Euro-box Quote
king ubu Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 Now's the time to get that Jazztet set! ← Only after Caiman have listed the Euro-box ← Don't they have it yet? I picked it up in a (local) discounter three or four weeks ago, for around 65 eurozlotys. Haven't started listening, but I'm looking forward a lot! Quote

ASNL77 Posted June 18, 2005 Report Posted June 18, 2005 (edited) Here is the first Byrd/Pepper on ebay since it went OOP! I can see this one go for at least $150. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...4740387087&rd=1 Edited June 19, 2005 by ASNL77 Quote

Took longer than I thought to show up.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...4740387087&rd=1 my guess is it goes for at least $200.... Quote
Uncle Skid Posted June 19, 2005 Report Posted June 19, 2005 I'm really glad I ordered my copy before it went OOP. I've been listening to it quite a bit in the last few weeks, and it just keeps getting better and better. Disc #4 ("The Cat Walk" and "Royal Flush") is my current favorite. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted June 19, 2005 Report Posted June 19, 2005 I'll be shocked if it breaks $100 myself. But then I've been shocked before... Quote
Brad Posted June 19, 2005 Report Posted June 19, 2005 I'd say $150 and except for money reasons I don't know why people wait. Sets like Jazzet, Parlan, Byrd/Adams as soon as they're announced I'm placing an order. On these I don't wait. I love hardbop and if a set is coming out in that area, I'm getting it asap. Quote
Aggie87 Posted June 19, 2005 Report Posted June 19, 2005 (edited) Set #3064 (according to the invoice anyway - it looks like "3694" inside the booklet!) arrived here finally! I was starting to wonder about my order - first order from Mosaic - and after a little more than a week I finally emailed them and asked how long it normally took to ship. I got a response on Thursday that basically said "oops, sorry", and they promised they would ship I would have on Friday. Well lo and behold it DID arrive as promised. I guess they got a bit busy or something. Glad it's here anyway. And the Mobley is here too. Set #4672 per the invoice, or "4E92" if I decipher the booklet as best I can. Someone could work on their penmanship... Edited June 19, 2005 by Aggie87 Quote

Soulstation1 Posted June 20, 2005 Report Posted June 20, 2005 can we close this thread? i am still pissed that i missed out on this set i don't like to hear people brag about getting the set and enjoying it Quote
Ron S Posted June 20, 2005 Author Report Posted June 20, 2005 can we close this thread? Nope. We can't officially close this loop until Mosaic officially closes theirs. Quote
David Ayers Posted June 20, 2005 Report Posted June 20, 2005 I'd quite like to talk about some other sets that people may have missed as well... Nothing like salt for an open wound, eh? Quote
Kalo Posted June 20, 2005 Report Posted June 20, 2005 Honestly, I'm often relieved when a set goes OOP. Frees up some mental real estate (not to mention potential $$) for other things. Just a thought. Quote
