Jazzdog Posted June 3, 2005 Report Posted June 3, 2005 Thanks for the heads up!!! It's almost around the time of year my Mom starts bugging me about what I want for Christmas, so I beat her to the punch for a change!! Quote
BFrank Posted June 3, 2005 Report Posted June 3, 2005 Just 185 sets left as of 11:30 a.m. this morning... ← Wow. That's amazing. I'm glad that mine's on the way! Quote
tranemonk Posted June 6, 2005 Report Posted June 6, 2005 Hey Ron.... Are you/Did you get this??? Wasn't high on my radar screen.... but.... Quote
wesbed Posted June 6, 2005 Report Posted June 6, 2005 Hey Ron.... Are you/Did you get this??? Wasn't high on my radar screen.... but... ← Don't THINK about it too much. GET it. You'll LIKE it. Quote
Ron S Posted June 6, 2005 Author Report Posted June 6, 2005 Hey Ron.... Are you/Did you get this??? Wasn't high on my radar screen.... but.... ← Sure did--it was one of the first Mosaics I bought. It's a great set and, as others have mentioned, is nicely complimented by the 2004 RVG 2-CD live "At the Half Note Cafe" set. Quote
BFrank Posted June 7, 2005 Report Posted June 7, 2005 #3031 just landed on my doorstep today. Spinning disk #1 now. I hope no one misses out on this before it's too late. Quote
Big Al Posted June 7, 2005 Report Posted June 7, 2005 Come on Friday.... just hang on 'til Friday..... Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted June 7, 2005 Report Posted June 7, 2005 (edited) Anybody know how many are still left?? I worked out a deal with someone on the board to trade him my long OOP Don Cherry Mosaic (in near mint condition), in exchange for him buying me a Byrd/Adams set -- which he ordered for me late on Saturday night. I'm assuming I got in under the deadline, and if so, whew!!! This was always on my "to buy" list, but I never had the funds available to make it happen. Can't wait to finally own that late 60's Byrd/Adams date -- the one with Chick Corea. PS: I'll know soon enough when I get the set in the mail later this week (hopefully), but can anybody with the set answer a quick question for me. Which (if any) of the following tunes were penned by Chick Corea??? (F) Donald Byrd (tp), Sonny Red (as), Pepper Adams (bari), Chick Corea (p), Miroslav Vitous (b), Mickey Roker (d) October 5, 1967 tk 4 Blues Well Done tk 6 Early Sunday Morning tk 8 I Will Wait For You (omit saxes) tk 15 Chico San tk 18 The Creeper tk 21 Samba Yantra tk 25 Blue Medium Rare all titles issued in 1981 as "The Creeper", Blue Note LT-1096. While your at it, which of the tunes on this date were penned by performers on the date??? I'm assuming the most likely contributors of tunes would have been Byrd, Kyner (Red), and/or Corea. I had forgotten, until just now, that Sonny Rad was on this date too -- which is a big plus for me. Edited June 7, 2005 by Rooster_Ties Quote
BFrank Posted June 7, 2005 Report Posted June 7, 2005 On Friday, jazzmessenger said that there were 185 sets left, so I think you're OK, Rooster. BTW, I'm LOVIN' this set! Quote
Michael Fitzgerald Posted June 7, 2005 Report Posted June 7, 2005 Chico San and Samba Yantra are by Chick Corea. I Will Wait For You is by Michel Legrand. The Creeper is by Sonny Red Kyner; The others are by Donald Byrd. Mike Quote
Uncle Skid Posted June 7, 2005 Report Posted June 7, 2005 BTW, I'm LOVIN' this set! ← Mine just arrived a few hours ago -- and so far, I'm feeling the same way! My copy of Bird/Diz Town Hall just arrived today as well. Dang, it feels like Christmas up in here! Quote
ASNL77 Posted June 7, 2005 Report Posted June 7, 2005 (edited) Got mine today! Number 3029. I combined it with the Elvin Jones set. It's going to be a long evening and a short night. Edited June 7, 2005 by ASNL77 Quote
Ron S Posted June 7, 2005 Author Report Posted June 7, 2005 #3031 just landed on my doorstep today. Got mine today! Number 3025. Sounds like the license is expiring significantly short of the 5000 limit. Quote
Brad Posted June 7, 2005 Report Posted June 7, 2005 If this is on the extinct list, how far behind can the Parlan be? I think that's even a better Mosaic, rounding into one of my favorite Mosaics. Quote
tranemonk Posted June 7, 2005 Report Posted June 7, 2005 just what I was thinking too Ron... Guess I'll have to cough up a couple of more bucks... Just glad it's not a 10CD set... Whew.... I'll probably order mine this weekend... thanks for the news... #3031 just landed on my doorstep today. Got mine today! Number 3025. Sounds like the license is expiring significantly short of the 5000 limit. ← Quote
Ron S Posted June 7, 2005 Author Report Posted June 7, 2005 I'll probably order mine this weekend... If it's still around by then. Quote
BFrank Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 Sounds like the license is expiring significantly short of the 5000 limit. ← I think it's been determined that they don't necessarily ship their sets in chronological order. So, it's hard to tell if they've really reached 5,000 or a time limit (5 years?). Quote

So, it's hard to tell if they've really reached 5,000 or a time limit (5 years?). ← I'm pretty sure that only applies to Selects. The regular boxes are numbered sequentially as they are sold, if I'm not mistaken. Quote
DrJ Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 I'm almost certain this has been discussed before and that the consensus was that regular Mosaics are NOT sold in sequential order. Probably could do a search to see. I do think they are numbered in pressing batches but I don't think you can rely on when you get a particular number to determine how many sets overall have sold. Quote
montg Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 I received this set about 6 weeks ago and it was #2976. I don't know if this resolves the question, but that number is about what one might expect if the sets are sold, roughly speaking, in sequential order. Quote
Stan C Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 I purchased the Donald Byrd/Pepper Adams set from Mosaic today along with the Horace Parlan and the Gerald Wilson sets. I was told there were still around 100 sets of the Byrd/Adams sets left. Quote
Bill Nelson Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 Ordered mine today, also. Afterwards, I was told, "We're selling about 30 every day now." Given the parameters, it looks like this window should close by Saturday. Quote
BFrank Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 Afterwards, I was told, "We're selling about 30 every day now." Given the parameters, it looks like this window should close by Saturday. ← Whoa! THAT'S fast! Quote

Alfred Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 Okay .. okay... I'll probably place my order today.... Nerves of steel! Quote
