BFrank Posted August 6, 2005 Report Posted August 6, 2005 Whole lotta Byrd/Adams suddenly showing up on ebay. Quote
BERIGAN Posted August 8, 2005 Report Posted August 8, 2005 (edited) look at the Philips/Ventura set!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >yikes!< Edited August 8, 2005 by BERIGAN Quote
Claude Posted August 8, 2005 Report Posted August 8, 2005 I like the title of this obscure CD: "The jazz masters - 100 years of Swing" - Cecil Taylor http://cgi.ebay.de/CD-Klavierspezialist-Ce...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote
ASNL77 Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 look at the Philips/Ventura set!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >yikes!< ← $688! Quote
WD45 Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 look at the Philips/Ventura set!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >yikes!< ← $688! ← Wow. I thought things were on the downturn with Mosaic prices. Quote
sidewinder Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 (edited) look at the Philips/Ventura set!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >yikes!< ← $688! ← That's it. I'm putting my copy on ebay along with the Nat Cole and Maynard and retiring ! Edited August 10, 2005 by sidewinder Quote
Dave James Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 (edited) $688 for the Ventura/Phillips and the auction still has 5 1/2 hours to run. This has to be close to the highest price any Mosaic has ever fetched, with the possible exception of the Cole or the Ferguson, both of which were considerably larger sets. I mean, this is an excellent outing, but I did the math all by myself and this works out to over $115 per CD. Someone needs to have their friggin' head examined. Up over and out.

Jazzmoose Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 Ladies and gentlemen, ebay craziness has now been defined... Quote
BERIGAN Posted August 11, 2005 Report Posted August 11, 2005 When I said Yikes, it was at a mere $304! I'll never own it..... Quote
sidewinder Posted August 11, 2005 Report Posted August 11, 2005 If my memory is right the Phillips/Ventura set went OOP with somewhat under 2000 copies sold, which may have influenced the price a bit. Over $600 is still totally crazy. Quote
brownie Posted August 11, 2005 Report Posted August 11, 2005 I did not buy this when it was still available because I had most of the Flip Phillips sides and I did not care that much for the Ventura sessions. I have changed my mind on Ventura by now. That's one of the Mosaics I should have gotten! Quote
trane123 Posted August 12, 2005 Report Posted August 12, 2005 Just out of curiosity I checked what the guy who bought the Phillips/Ventura set has been doing recently on eBay. He seems to be on a Mosaic hunt. His last seven wins are all Mosaic sets and he's spent over $3000. Ah, yes, the Mosaic obsession... Quote
garthsj Posted August 14, 2005 Report Posted August 14, 2005 I believe that all of the Charlie Ventura material (as is the Flip Phillips) is available on a Definitive Records release ... was it "taken" from the Mosaic remastering I wonder?? :-) I did not buy this when it was still available because I had most of the Flip Phillips sides and I did not care that much for the Ventura sessions.

Which was the case with those Venturas. And I'm sure they used Mosaic remasterings! I'm traveling the Chronological Classics on this material and hope they will soon have the few sides I am missing... Quote

Brad Posted August 15, 2005 Report Posted August 15, 2005 look at the Philips/Ventura set!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >yikes!< ← That's unbelievable. For that price I'd part with mine. Unlike Brownie, I still can't get comfortable with Ventura. Flip yes and there's a great session on there with Maggie. Quote
EKE BBB Posted August 18, 2005 Report Posted August 18, 2005 Take a look at this: Freddie Redd Mosaic That´s 90 bucks per CD!!! Quote
tatifan Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 A local used emporium has the (cd vers.) of The Stan Kenton Complete Capitol Recordings of the Holman and Russo Charts. It's $100, so I'm not quite sure I'm going to pull the plug. What's Ebay been yielding on this? Should I go for it? Quote
Alfred Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 Crazy! 90% of this music is still available. Art Blakey Mosaic set Quote
brownie Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 Originally 199.99$ ??? ← $112 was the Mosaic list prize when the box was available. Not interested in this sale and I refuse to buy from people selling these items when they miss the outside box or any worthy document. Quote

Would you buy it if one of the CDs were missing? (just in case the music contained in it wasn´t a worthy document) Edited August 19, 2005 by EKE BBB Quote

But guys posting such crap on ebay should not get 100% positive feedback... probably their customers are of the same breed? Quote
