Surplus Queen Posted December 17, 2003 Report Posted December 17, 2003 Hope it's OK to post this here... we have resolved a legal issue, the result of which is that we now have the right to sell through our remaining Jazz Classics and Best of Jazz inventory. It should go fast, so I thought I'd post a heads up. Justine http://www.cybermusicsurplus.com/ Quote
Brad Posted December 17, 2003 Report Posted December 17, 2003 There looks to be some good bargains here. Quote

Surplus Queen Posted December 17, 2003 Author Report Posted December 17, 2003 yikes... looks like I jumped the gun and the papers aren't actually signed. Any orders placed will get pushed through. These labels *will* be available as soon as the papers are signed. However, this being the holidays, that could be later this week or it could be in the new year. Sorry for the premature announcement. Quote
chris Posted December 17, 2003 Report Posted December 17, 2003 These look interesting-- I know nothing about this label, legal issues, etc... but are there any recommendations for "must haves" and "really oughtta haves"? Quote
jazzbo Posted December 17, 2003 Report Posted December 17, 2003 Thanks for the announcement, premature or not. . . . I placed my order! I've bought DOZENS of these the last time they were offered . . . . Quote

Chris, It depends on your interests but all Classics to me are great. They basically take an artist and start putting out his output. In the case of a big star like Hawk, they'll put it out year by year, everything he recorded in that particular year. Just masters, no alternates, and from all labels. For some of the older stuff, Classics is pretty indispensible since they're putting out stuff that may have been on 78s only or are unlikely to see the light of day from the major labels. Since they're based in France, they only have to deal with a 50 year statute of limitations so they're up to 1953. I ordered the Cozy Cole, an Art Tatum and a couple of Earl Hines'. Quote
jazzbo Posted December 17, 2003 Report Posted December 17, 2003 Brad describes the label well. I like the label more and more as I realize how great a service they are doing by doing this chronolgical crosslabel reissue program. And they sound better and better all the time as they come out. They are also into the modern jazz era now, which puts them on a lot of person's radar. I should have ordered the Cozy Cole! This time I ordered a Billy Taylor, a Sammy Price, a Marsala and a Mezzrow. Quote
blue lake Posted December 19, 2003 Report Posted December 19, 2003 Just tried it and didn't find the "Chronological Classics" or anything like it in the pull down label search area. Would love to get in on this: please advise, thanks. Quote
jazzbo Posted December 19, 2003 Report Posted December 19, 2003 Blue Lake, this was a premature post, the one that started this thread; in a later post she noted the cds have been taken down for now. Keep checking, they should show up soon. Quote
