BeBop Posted June 13, 2009 Report Posted June 13, 2009 During Concord's June Blowout you'll find $5.98 prices on hundreds of titles across the site. See selections from your favorite genres in Classic Jazz, Contemporary Jazz, Pop&Rock, R&B/Soul, Blues and Classical. If you can't see the email below, click here - http://www.concordmusicgroup.com/newsletter/summer09.html Link to newsletter: http://www.concordmusicgroup.com/newsletter/summer09.html The e-mail I got says until July 1st. I'd fight 'em on it! Quote
BeBop Posted June 13, 2009 Report Posted June 13, 2009 I'm sure you're already hip to this, but for anyone exploring the sale, realize that the offerings are pretty limited. (Not to say there isn't some fine stuff out there...) So, if you search for, say Hampton Hawes and don't see any discounted titles, don't be surprised. Try someone else. Quote
Big Wheel Posted June 13, 2009 Report Posted June 13, 2009 It does appear that the $5.98 pricing is gone from the listings for now. The weird thing is, the items already in my cart still show $5.98... Quote
gmonahan Posted June 13, 2009 Report Posted June 13, 2009 Yeah, the sale stuff appears to be gone. All the links now take you to the box set sale. greg mo Quote
jazzbo Posted June 13, 2009 Report Posted June 13, 2009 I think we used CMG. . . one or three dozen times too many! Quote
trane_fanatic Posted June 14, 2009 Report Posted June 14, 2009 (edited) Well, I blew it. Even though the link Ghost gave claimed the sale was good until 7/1, it seems to be over already. I was going to take advantage of it this week-end. Bummer. Bertrand. If you can remember the titles you want, just add them to the cart and they will still show as $5.98 provided they were part of the Vanished Concord June Blowout Sale of 2009. Still worked tonight as I just placed a large order and tried to remember as many titles as I could from looking at the sale pages yesterday and the thread here. Folks on some other boards have caught on too. CMG will still work, BTW. Don't know how long this will last as it may be a loophole they haven't gotten around to closing yet, so folks should act fast. Edited June 14, 2009 by trane_fanatic Quote
funkogre Posted June 15, 2009 Report Posted June 15, 2009 (edited) Anyone have a list of the $5.98 titles? Here's some I've found looking through... 10 to 4 at the 5 spot The Hawk Flies High Hawk Relaxes Quintet in San Francisco Miles and the modern jazz giants K2 Bags Groove RVG Blue Moods Edited June 15, 2009 by funkogre Quote

Gary Davis A Little More Faith That's an eclectic list! I appreciate the tip about the prices remaining despite the disappearance of the site. I went ahead and ordered the Gil Evans and Ten SACD and the new Monterey Jazz All-stars cd. Used the "cmg" which pretty well covered postage. greg mo Quote
Big Wheel Posted June 15, 2009 Report Posted June 15, 2009 BTW, their site is seriously janky. It's like they paid a designer a ton of $$$ to make it really pretty and then had no money left for someone who understands how to build a good ecommerce website. Forget about the usability issues, like the fact that it's almost impossible to search or browse by artist without drilling through multiple pages. The parts that keep track of your info seem really, really buggy. For example, I just placed my second order - but I never got a confirmation email for either of my two orders (has anyone else?) And now, although I wrote down my order number for the first order, it's nowhere to be seen in my order history.... Quote

Their saving grace is that, once you figure out how and where to email them about an order, they're usually pretty responsive, or at least, they have been in the past. greg mo Quote
Edward Posted June 15, 2009 Report Posted June 15, 2009 Other titles available at $5.98 each that have not yet been mentioned on this thread include: Dave Brubeck Quartet - Jazz at the College of the Pacific (K-2) Dave Brubeck - Private Brubeck Remembers (SACD) Miles Davis - Blue Haze Miles Davis, Stan Getz, Gerry Mulligan, etc. - Conception Howard McGhee - Maggie's Back in Town!

One of my orders was messed up not long ago and I just gave them a call and I just reordered it. They're pretty good over the phone. Quote
GA Russell Posted June 15, 2009 Report Posted June 15, 2009 Miles Davis, Stan Getz, Gerry Mulligan, etc. - Conception This one has Ezz-Thetic on it, which I humbly consider to be one of Prestige's most important recordings. Of course, YMMV. Quote

It's 4:30 EST and they say they don't close till 5, but I've now called twice (and left a message yesterday) and nobody has picked up or called me back. Quote
funkogre Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) Ok so now this link is back http://www.concordmusicgroup.com/promos/summer/ and no longer linking to box sets. Although it now says "Unfortunately, this sale had to be discontinued on Friday, June 12. The titles are still listed below at their regular price." but when you add the CDs to your cart they show up as $5.98????? I can only assume this is part of Concord's brilliant marketing plan so the customer will say "OH MY GOD! they're still on sale I'm buying 50 discs!!!" Mhmm, something like that... Edit: Here's a few other $5.98 titles I found that I don't see on any of the blowout sale pages Amhed Abdul Malik - Jazz Sounds of Africa Bill Evans - Alone (Again) Bill Evans & Don Elliott - Tenderly: An Informal Session Count Basie, Joe Turner - Bosses Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson With The Cannonball Adderley Quintet - Cleanhead and Cannonball Ella Fitzgerald - Ella A Nice Ella Fitzgerald - Ella in London Freddie Hubbard & Oscar Peterson - Face to Face Gene Harris - The Gene Harris Trio Plus One Geoffrey Keezer - Sublime: Honoring The Music Of Hank Jones Hank Jones - Ain't Misbehavin' Joe Pass & J.J. Johnson - We'll Be Together Again Joe Pass Quartet - Nuages: Live At Yoshi's, Vol. 2 Louis Bellson Explosion Roy Eldridge, Oscar Peterson & Dizzy Gillespie - Jazz Maturity Steve Turre - One 4 J: Paying Homage to J.J. Johnson Thelonious Monk Quartet - Misterioso Edited June 19, 2009 by funkogre Quote

relyles Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 I decided to sneak in one final impulse purchase. Coleman Hawkins - The Hawk Flies High [Keepnews Collection] RCD-30505 $5.98 Joey DeFrancesco - Organic Vibes CCD-2306-2 $5.98 Ahmed Abdul-Malik - Jazz Sounds Of Africa PRCD-24279-2 $5.98 Hank Jones - Live At Maybeck Recital Hall, Volume 16 CCD-4502-2 $8.98 Quote
Big Wheel Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 I did finally manage to get through with them today, although the customer service rep seemed kind of frazzled and eager to get me off the phone. They said their IT dept. has been notified about some customers not getting confirmation emails, and that one of my orders had some items backordered but the other one is ready to ship. Quote
RDK Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 Successfully ordered last night, but no confirmation email as of yet. Oh well, wait and see... Quote
