Ellington Reprise set

[romualdo]

Have just purchased the 5CD Ellington Reprise set - the european Warners (non US) reissue of the late 90' Mosaic box

They've done a nice job of this, even including the Mark Tucker booklet that came in the original Mosaic set.

The CD's come in cardboard mini sleeves (have always liked this - I know a lot of you out there don't) - I use the cellophane mini inner sleeves (can get them from Japan via USA)

They protect the discs from being scratched. Also saves a lot of space.

Only problem with this set is that booklet is in German (Spiegel Edition stamped on front cover) - wasn't advertised as that!!

Does anyone know if an english version exists (was it also pressed for the UK?) - the booklet is held in with an elasticised cord & comes out easily

Anyone know who would be best to contact (at Warners), if an english booklet does exist. If looked at both the UK & German Warner sites & they don't even have the set listed.

I may have to try Mosaic & see if they have any of the original booklets left

I remember seeing this edition of the set for sale in sole UK stores (e.g. Fopp) so almost certain the booklet would be available in English.

I have the same set and, yes, the booklet's in English.

Contacting Mosaic is probably your best bet but obviously their booklet would be bigger.
