John L Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 Destination Out has posted a couple of nice tracks for free download from The Complete Braxton, which will not be on the Arista box. Quote
jasonguthartz Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 fyi: With the upcoming release of Mosaic's "Complete Arista Recordings" box, I thought it might be useful to republish those LPs' original liner notes (which will not be included with the box), as well as some previously-published writings about these albums by Ran Blake, John Corbett, Art Lange, & John Litweiler. I've made these texts available in two forms: from within my Braxton discography: http://www.restructures.net/BraxDisco/BraxDisco.htm and as iPaper: http://tinyurl.com/Arista When viewing the iPaper versions, I recommend maximizing the viewing space by clicking the little box at the top-right corner of the document, and then adjusting the zoom; you can select different View Modes via the "iPaper" menu at the top left. These iPaper documents can also be downloaded as pdfs. From within the discography, these texts can be accessed via the new "essays & reviews" link in the upper-left frame of the discography; you can also click on the icon which appears in an albums's discography entry. In addition, I've added Composition Notes for each of the compositions which appears in the Mosaic box (except for Comp. 40P, which I hope to add soon). The Composition Notes can be accessed via the page for the particular composition that appears in the lower-right frame: e.g., go to a particular album entry in the main discography, click on the composition, and then the page for that composition (with the graphic title and a list of recordings featuring that composition) will appear in the lower-left frame, where you'll see an icon and red text which you'll click on to bring up the Composition Notes. Again, for the moment, Composition Notes are available only for those compositions which appear on the Arista albums. Thanks to all of the authors for giving me permission to republish these texts. Jason ps - If you find any bad links, please let me know Quote
ghost of miles Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 For those interested: Braxton Mosaic: outtakes from the liner notes Link on Heffley's website is no longer active. Just scan your mouse over the "Click here" line and the link should show up as active--I just went to it. For some reason, it doesn't look to be active when you first glance at it, but it is. Quote

randyhersom Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 The second Toshiko comes before the second Big John??? Quote
jazzbo Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 It looks as if the Braxton and Toshiko/Lew will be shipping very soon, got an email notice that they are "new releases." Quote
blajay Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 Just got my shipping notice! ditto! can't wait Quote
GregK Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 Still no shipping notice for me, and I ordered about an hour after it became available for pre-order. Quote
Uncle Skid Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 Just got my shipping notice. Did happen to see that Mosaic charged my credit card yesterday, so I knew it was coming soon! Quote
jazzbo Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 Still no shipping notice for me, and I ordered about an hour after it became available for pre-order. Don't feel alone. . . . Quote
John L Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 Yea, I've got no shipping notice and I am leaving the country for 3 months early next week. I might have to wait for the New Year. Quote

Lazaro Vega Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 Jason sent along some you tube links of Braxton: http://www.youtube.com/user/mosaicrecords from: > Jason Guthartz > Quote
blajay Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 I got my box last night. Wish I didn't have work or I'd be listening now! Check out this jackass seller putting this up on ebay already--without the box and booklet!!! haha: http://cgi.ebay.com/Mosaic-Records-Anthony...id=p3286.c0.m14 Quote
Lazaro Vega Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Am-mer-i-ka Ammer-i-ka God mend thine every flaw..... Quote
clifford_thornton Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Got my set today. Looks really nice though a few of the photos, from Bill Smith's archive, are a little fuzzy in quality. What friggin' moron is posting the discs on eBay without a box or book?!? Quote
J.A.W. Posted October 17, 2008 Author Report Posted October 17, 2008 What friggin' moron is posting the discs on eBay without a box or book?!? It's happened before with stolen stuff, also with the "no box, no booklet" note... Quote
clifford_thornton Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Could it be a Mosaic employee or something? Quote
blajay Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 I've bought a mosaic set once without the box or booklet at a used music store. Couldn't pass up the Sam Rivers set for $40. I figured over time the discs just got separated from the booklet and box. But it is definitely sketchy and a whole 'nother thing to put up the Braxton mosaic discs still wrapped, but without the box, and before most people who preordered the set have even received their sets. Odd. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 I dunno... it's definitely dubious. Why wouldn't you want the box and book? It's not even that expensive of a set in the first place, priceless considering the music. Quote
