Rosco Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 Just checked my box - hadn't listened to it yet as only recently received it looks like I've got a dud one too I can also confirm that all 3 CD's Ming, Hope Scope & New Life are in mono (others are OK) - opened all of the tracks from each CD in audacity & was able to observe the wave forms Compared the Craig Harris trombone solo (Blues In The Pocket) from the boxed set & to an original CD that I still have (hadn't offloaded it yet) - what a difference!! time to send an email to Cam Jazz - has anyone actually received a reply from them confirming that they will replace the set? Their reply to my email: ...thank you for your email. Probably is a mistake of our manufactoring.....we will reprint this title and we can send another copy of Box Set of David Murray within a few days. I will advice you when the Box Set will be available. In the meantime you can please give me your address where I can send it. Best Regards CAMJazz Staff No word on availability as yet. Quote
7/4 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) Placed an order at Downtown Music Gallery for the Cecil box. Don't own any of them now...going on a Cecil Taylor binge anyway. Edited January 13, 2012 by 7/4 Quote

They seem like a decent organisation. Edited January 13, 2012 by JohnS Quote
king ubu Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 Got to check my Murray set, too - as I've had half of it before, I was in no hurry to listen yet... thanks! Quote
Face of the Bass Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 Placed an order at Downtown Music Gallery for the Cecil box. Don't own any of them now...going on a Cecil Taylor binge anyway. I'm offering the box set 2 Ts For A Lovely T if you want to feed the monster some more. Quote
cliffpeterson Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 I ordered three all at one time for myself and two friends. cheaper ordering in bulk. My copy of new life is wrong. That trombone solo starts at around 4:30. the disc in the box is awful. compared it to the older single cd release. there, the trombone solo is really present Quote
king ubu Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 first sighting of the next batch on amazon: http://www.amazon.fr/Don-pullen-albums-originaux-remasterises/dp/B0065HDMA2/ http://www.amazon.fr/Mal-waldron-quintets-albums-originaux/dp/B0065HDLJE/ http://www.amazon.fr/Jimmy-giuffre-albums-originaux-remasterises/dp/B0065HDLYO/ http://www.amazon.fr/Albums-Originaux-World-Saxophone-Quartet/dp/B006BHP30S/ prices even seem a bit lower than usual...

sidewinder Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 prices even seem a bit lower than usual... I'm holding out for a total collapse of the Euro. Quote

brownie Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 Contents... could not find the details for the fourth box! I'll get them at whatever the euro rate will be when they come out Quote
king ubu Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 See post #339 for contents! Or here, larger and straight from the source: Put in pre-orders for all of them! Quote
sidewinder Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 Ha... just consider the pound may join in on the downward slope Can't get any worse ! The only way against the Euro is up. Quote
tranemonk Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 I'm up for 3 out of the 4... Not much of a Guiffre fan.... I wonder when we'll get a US distributor? For some reason it seems to take months for a US distributor to get these releases..... Quote
Leeway Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 Most of these boxes I usually have all but one, maybe 2, of the albums, so have taken a pass. It's kind of frustrating really, but I don't like buying duplicates. I only have the Bill Dixon and Threadgill. But I'll probably pop for the Giuffre and Pullen boxes. I have 1 from the Giuffre and 2 from the Pullen, and the Pullens are on LP. Quote

For some reason it seems to take months for a US distributor to get these releases..... You don't save anything really by waiting. I've pre-ordered all of mine via amazon.fr and gotten them quickly and well-priced. Most of these boxes I usually have all but one, maybe 2, of the albums, so have taken a pass.

I have 1 from the Giuffre and 2 from the Pullen, and the Pullens are on LP. It will be interesting to hear your reactions to the sound. When I've compared the earlier cd to the remastered, I've been greatly impressed with the sound of the remastering in these sets. Quote
king ubu Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 My Murray is faulty, too - crap! Just sent a mail. Has anyone received replacements yet? Are they okay? Quote
Van Basten II Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 Must be my luck day, only one of the series I haven't bought is the Murray Quote
JETman Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 My Murray is faulty, too - crap! Just sent a mail. Has anyone received replacements yet? Are they okay? Replacements due in 6 - 8 weeks according to an email I received directly from someone at Cam Jazz. Quote
king ubu Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 Okay - that makes me think they didn't yet know about the mistake!? Quote
JETman Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 Okay - that makes me think they didn't yet know about the mistake!? Well, what difference does it make? They certainly know now!!! Quote
king ubu Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 Okay - that makes me think they didn't yet know about the mistake!? Well, what difference does it make? They certainly know now!!! Ah well - the recent gaffe in the Universal France Ella box was fixed within days... doesn't make much of a difference, it's just a bit weird since the box has been out quite a while. That's all I wanted to say. Quote
