I contacted CDU Customer Support and they adjusted the Louis Smith price on my order. They also said that they would be updating the site soon to reflect it as a domestic title instead of an import (and from $11.15 to $9.60).

They updated their site. Price is $9.60

6.99 at J&R

Lon, do you know how long this J&R sale will go on? I'd like to wait a few days, until the next credit card billing period.

I get so many e-mails from them that I (as often happens) deleted the most recent one w/o reading.

Missed out on the big $4.99 weekend-only event because I waited too long. :(

No I don't know. . . but it's a preorder and I don't think your card will be charged until the shipping date. . . .

Aha, a way out! There are also (BTW) a bunch of OJCs @ $6.99, but I'll mix in some March Blue Note reissues and specify no shipping until everything is filled. Thanks.

So how are those Baby Grands? Are they as great, wild, freaking crazy, as the Groovin' at Smalls set? That one's still THE best ever Smith did, in my opinion! So much going on in there!

They are WILD! Mostly very UP-tempos! And THE perfect Bop organ trio. And a great audience. I have 6 of the 8 tracks on a cheapo comp, so I'm really looking forward to getting these RVGs. Gonna give that comp one last shot before I get the newies!

oh yeah, the terrible "Giants of Jazz: Immortal Concerts" CD. I had that, I now have the TOCJ 1500 series versions of volumes 1&2 on CD, how are the RVG's compared to those soundwise?

CJ, I can't speak specifically for these JOS titles, but whenever I A-B'd the TOCJ 1500 series against an RVG in the past, the 1500s sounded better to me. The imports seemed a bit warmer , and the stereo separation seemed nicer also. I don't even bother upgrading the TOCJ 1500 titles I have, if they happen to be released stateside as RVGs.

Jutta Hipp is obvious?

Jutta Hipp is not (so) obvious but this was a Conn not too long ago. i have it.

they could have gone for her 5000 series session or for any of her Hickory House trio dates (which i also have :D ).

The Baby Grand sessions are another Blue Note Reissue missed opportunity...looks at all the extra material they didn't bother sifting through. Laziness.

The extra material from Baby Grand is missing from the tape vaults. It's like Stanley Turrentine's Minton's recordings with Grant Green. Only what was originally released exists. Or has been located so far; we can hope that it is misfiled somewhere and eventually will turn up.
