So, when are you going to get the J.J. Johnson Mosaic set?

[BFrank]

Nope--they're going from preprinted numbers to NO numbers on the Selects.

And for anyone interested in joining me in a bet against BFrank and Free For All on whether Mosaic ships the big boxes in numerical order, see this.

"There can be some exceptions such as when a set is returned and that number is then recirculated back into the system."

So we're BOTH right!

Meanwhile.......I just placed my JJJ order. I think I should have it by Friday or Monday.

I wonder what number it will be.

A "good one", I hope.

But definitely higher than 4860, right? Do we have that straight now???

DEFINITELY (maybe)

... unless it's a returned copy.

I only accept prime number Mosaics. That way, every one I own I can call "a prime Mosaic."

[trane_fanatic]

Just got my Johnson box yesterday. There is no # written in the inside front cover where the line for it is, for whatever reason, but the receipt says it is set # 4861.

[rostasi]

So Martin got 4860 and you got 4861?

[trane_fanatic]

Apparently so. I wonder how many sets are left overall in the Mosaic warehouse.

[Guest]

I bet Mosaic has agrred to a limit on number of sets that can be sold and a time limit where sales stop. My guess is that the time window is running out and the maximum number of sets that could be sold will not be approached. I wonder what they do with the left overs.

[BFrank]

Got mine today - #4872.

Can't wait to hear it.

[BFrank]

Started listening to this. I think it's probably as good as everyone says. There's a LOT of music here to go through.

My guess is that it will grow on me like the Thad Jones (3 disk) set did. Not a first round knock-out, but a slow growing set of essential music.

[Soulstation1]

The JJ Johnson set IS the bomb PERIOD

IMO
