Morganized Posted June 14, 2009 Report Posted June 14, 2009 Alas, I ordered this 10 days ago from Best Buy, immediately got a "Back Ordered" notice....and then received a second "Back Ordered" e-mail yesterday. In that second e-mail, they used language encouraging me to call to discuss alternatives, including cancelling my order. I'm hopeful this isn't their way of telling me it's never coming, but I'm not particularly optimistic on that count. I'm in exactly the same situation. I'm going to wait a little longer. Same here but happy to wait it out since its such a great deal. If doesn't happen so be it. I can grab it for 40 if I decide I can't live without it. Still a good deal since it use to go for 100. Me too. Beginning to suspect foul play! Quote
kh1958 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 I received an email notification of shipment this evening (ordered a week and a half ago). Quote
WorldB3 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 I received an email notification of shipment this evening (ordered a week and a half ago). Same here. Quote
jlhoots Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 I ordered on June 7 & haven't heard anything except a backorder e-mail on June 12. We'll see. Quote
Lush Life Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 I received an email notification of shipment this evening (ordered a week and a half ago). Same here. Me, too! Yippee! Quote
riverrat Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 I received an email notification of shipment this evening (ordered a week and a half ago). Same here. Me, too! Yippee! Mine has apparently shipped as well.. Quote
jlhoots Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 When I check my order status at their website, it says "order in process of being fulfilled". Is that good? No shipping notice yet. Quote
jlhoots Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 Just (finally) received shipping notice. Quote

B. Goren. Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) A question to Evans' experts: "The Last Waltz" set is more or less from the same time as Turn Out the Stars (September 1980) and also with the same players (Marc Johnson and Joe LaBarbera) If I have the Last Waltz, how essential is Turn out the Stars?

DMP Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 My set arrived this morning, hard to believe. It's really good! A nice package, and the music is excellent. I heard that edition of the Evans' trio a couple of times and (no offence) was underwhelmed. (Harold Danko makes some similar points in his notes.) This is far more involving than what I heard in person. Quote
jazzbo Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Posted June 19, 2009 Bentsy, if you ask the question, I'd say no it's not essential. If you're really really deep into this Evans trio, then of course yes it is, and you would be ordering rather than asking Quote
sidewinder Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 From Best Buy website: We are not able to ship internationally to other countries. I hear you ! Very annoying that we can't take advantage of this one - I've seen the box locally for about £30. Much less of a deal but at least the box can be got reasonably. Probably cheaper than paying the $ and having it shipped from the US I guess. Quote
B. Goren. Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 Bentsy, if you ask the question, I'd say no it's not essential. If you're really really deep into this Evans trio, then of course yes it is, and you would be ordering rather than asking Thanks Lon. Quote
WorldB3 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 Mine showed up, if memory serves from when I borrowed this back in 97 the second disc was especially impressive. I am sure its all great but I remember I kept coming back to that one. Playing it now its coming back to me, disc 2 alone is worth the 16 bucks. Thanks a million Lon! Quote
Morganized Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 Finally received shipping notice yesterday! Quote
mjzee Posted July 6, 2009 Report Posted July 6, 2009 Got it today, in great condition. Amazingly, it's still on Best Buy's website at that price! Quote
marcoliv Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 I would like to ask for a little help with this set. Can anyone get it for me from Best Buy? I'll cover all costs of course Please PM or email me at marcavol@terra.com.br Many many thanks in advance Marcus Oliveira Quote

connoisseur series500 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Ordered mine about a couple weeks ago and the set just arrived. Whoever doesn't take advantage of this deal is nuts! Quote
mikelz777 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 (edited) I just checked on the price for the set today and it is now listed for $39.99. I'm glad I was able to get one and it seemed to be listed long enough for a lot of people to take advantage. It'a a great set. Edited July 13, 2009 by mikelz777 Quote
marcoliv Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 Thanks to all of you who offered me some help on getting this. You're the best guys!! MCO Quote
