Black Saint/Soul Note Box Sets

[king ubu]

Gee, you got them and I'm still waiting?! Also ordered from amazon.fr?

I guess you've got the freedom fries bonus... (while I got the IRS malus, or some such...)

[PHILLYQ]

Any place these are available besides Dusty and Amazon.fr? Camjazz doesn't even list them! Thanks

[peterintoronto]

I emailed CAM to ask if they were going to be selling this batch of the direct like they did for the first sets. I didn't hear anything back, which suggests they might be on vacation?

[jazzbo]

Well, I don't know what happened here, it seems as if they didn't print enough on the first run as they sent out a lot of pre-orders, and the sets are now "coming soon" in the same stores that just shipped quantities.

I think before long there will be tons available.

So far I really love the Russell box. . . wasn't too familiar with these, had heard just a few titles. I think the remastering in these sets really stands out. . . in a great way.

[David Ayers]

These new sets are not even listed on UK websites yet, as far as I can see. I'm hoping they will be as they will likely come out cheaper with free shipping...

Just got this email:

Dear Peter,

sorry for the delay to respond to you but we are closed for summer break.

The Box Sets will available soon on our web site www.camjazz.com

Best Regards

Simone

[peterintoronto]

wow!!! yep!!

WOW!!!!!!!! This is fabulous.

[jazzbo]

Wow!

[David Ayers]

That one is listed as number 9 in the series. Since they have so far released batches of four I'd say we should check back at their site soon for further additions. That said, I have almost all the Dixon...

[B. Goren.]

wow!!! yep!!

When? Where? details please...

I have about half of them but.......it would be nice to have the others and........they've been remastered so.......maybes I'll get it!

I wonder when the Andrew Hill will coming out? Now, that's one I'll almost certainly buy.

[king ubu]

GREAT news about the Dixon!

But my sets from France still haven't made it

[Van Basten II]

Anyone noticed that one of the cd from the Motian set was already on the Pieranunzi site

I had some poor experiences of the likes with CAM customer-centric ways in the recent past.

This is disappointing, being italian myself. I'd not reccomend them.

[Stefan Wood]

Italy has one of the worst mailing services in the world. As an ebay seller, I just don't ship there because things get "lost."

I would think that the only one of the Dixons that would need remastering would be Thoughts. Cranked to 2 o'clock on my amp it sounds great, but it's recorded at what seems like a pretty low dynamic level considering what I know to be the dynamics of the music. If memory serves, Bill wasn't too happy with how it came out, but he liked to have his stereo at full volume anyway :-)

Also, the liner notes to these releases should be made available somewhere, as they are certainly part of the package (not to mention the beautiful covers).

[jazzbo]

As far as I can tell every release has been remastered and improved (when I can compare). Really fine work done on this series. The covers and liner notes ARE in these box sets, although reproduced 5.25" square or so!

FWIW, grooves-inc.com now has the Taylor and Bowie sets for iirc 18 and 16 Euro - might be worth waiting for their prices of the rest...

[Big Wheel]

Just to recap because I can't remember if it was spelled out in detail here. If the price is similar at grooves-inc and amazon.fr, customers in the US will get a better deal at grooves-inc because shipping is free, whereas amazon.fr will charge you for international shipping outside of France/Switzerland/Benelux. Do I have that right? And grooves-inc generally has better prices than ordering from CAM Jazz directly?

not 100% certain, but this is what i would have thought as well; unfortunately the Dixon, Motian and Russell boxes are not up on the grooves-inc site yet - so there's a small chance those will be expansive there,.,.,

[peterintoronto]

Did any of the folks ordering from amazon.fr get their boxes yet? It looks like the new batch isn't out until September 28th.
