Coupon code "CMG" came in an e-mail hawking some new releases. The e-mail suggests that the coupon is only valid for the items listed, but it covered everything I threw in my cart, including some of those $12, reduced to $9 and $19 reduced to $14 CDs.

April 1st RVGs are $8.98, less 20%. No foolin'.

So, for what it's worth, check it out.

Reminder to self - get on this tomorrow.

[BeBop]

Note to self: Buy all the good stuff before tomorrow.

[jazzbo]

Note to self: BeBop is here all week!

That was a good one.

[paul secor]

Thanks BeBop! Just saved me a small bundle.

Of course, if you hadn't posted I wouldn't have ordered anything & I'd have saved even more.

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Just seen this at Concord. Crazy cover & title. 1973 material. Never heard of it. Anyone know it?

MG

[jazzbo]

Is one of the good ones (BeBop probably scooped it up last night).

I'm kind of like a drug 'pusher' in this regard. I think I've posted info on two sales (Concord and True Blue) and a coupon for Borders in the past 24 hours. But I haven't bought any recorded music in six months or more (other than two gifts). And no, I don't work for any of these retailers.

[zen archer]

I ordered 11 titles for around $80 bucks ....not bad......you would think that all the ojcs i have

purchased in the last 3-5 years i would have everything they put out ?

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Is one of the good ones (BeBop probably scooped it up last night).

Good to know, Lon - thanks.

But y'know, I've been about halfway through the list in the link posted earlier and, though I've found a dozen or so albums I want that are still around, frankly I just wan't getting a hard on over them. Except the Gonsalves/Eldridge. So, "fuck it," I said to myself, and went off to order half a dozen South African items from a Jo'burg firm, for about $8 each, inc postage. Now THAT was exciting!

There are new David Newmans/Houston Persons/Jimmy Ponders/Maceo Parkers that I haven't been moved to order yet, as well.

Fails to find smiley for shrugging shoulders elegantly...

The Gonsalves/Eldridge is good, but not terribly hard to find used. You'll come across a copy. Well, I don't know about Wales...

Used the Borders coupon today, too. Thanks again!

I totally know what you mean. I go through periods where I look at a bunch of cds and they don't excite me at all. A few months or a few years later and the opposite reaction might be inspired by the same list. Thank goodness for that for all of us too I say!

purchased in the last 3-5 years i would have everything they put out ?

I was thinking the same thing when I ordered today.

I'm sure that next week someone will post something on the Listening thread or somewhere else; I'll think - hey, I don't have that - and I'll be back for another order. The OJC catalog was so vast at one time that, and still is pretty big, that it's hard to have everything worth getting.

The highest non-limited edition OJC I have is no. 1108, and the highest limited edition OJC no. I have is 1955. I believe this means that there are 1108 regular OJCs and 256 limited edition OJCs (1700 to 1955), for a grand total of 1364 CDs in the OJC series (not counting of course all the non-OJC Fantasy reissues).

There's a gap in the regular OJC numbering, to avoid the same numbers as were being used for the Original Blues Classics series. OJC numbers go to 499, then start again at 600. The OBC series was 500s - not sure how far they got with that.

[JSngry]

Rickey Nize - Mistaken Identity

[Chuck Nessa]

585 is the highest OBC number I know.

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Rickey Nize - Mistaken Identity

Is that in the Concord sale, or is that a mistaken thread?

MG

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

585 is the highest OBC number I know.

There are some more. As far as I know, the numbers went up to 595.

586 Lightnin’ Hopkins – Straight blues (BV compilation apparently)

587 Pink Anderson – Medecine show man (BV1051)

588 Rev Gary Davis – Have a little faith (BV1032)

589 Sonny Terry – And his mouth harp (Riv 644)

590 Driftin’ Slim – Somebody hoo-doo’d the Hoo-Doo man (Miles 93004)

591 Jimmy Witherspoon – Blue Spoon (PR7327/7418) (seems to be a twofer)

592 Rev Gary Davis – Guitar & banjo of (PR Folklore 14033)

593 Arbee Stidham – Tired of wandering (BV1021) (I have this one)

594 Scrapper Blackwell – Mr Scrapper’s blues (BV1047)

595 Smokey Babe – Hottest brand goin’ (BV1063)

I have the Driftin' Slim and Scrapper Blackwell--but I didn't know there was a small gap. I was including the OBCs as OJCs.
