OOP Mosaics for Sale

[sheldonm]

I thought I would post a partial list of the remaining used Mosaics at the Jazz Record Mart in Chicago. Again, these were brought in by the family of a man who had recently passed away. Most of the OOP sets seem to be around $25 per disc (LP or CD).

I bought several sets for myself and a few for some of the board members, as they will not ship used materials (non-returnable). For those of you who asked me to pick them up for you, I shipped them today. I'll probably being back in the windy city on 1/11 if any of you are interested in me doing the same. There are several others available, but I didn't list anything that is still in print (except JJJ).

Happy Holidays to All!!!

What else did you scoop up? Any of the hundreds of single CDs from that same estate? They haven't even put all of it out yet. People need to buy more to make room for more. I'm trying to do my part

Jamf,

I've bought 4 OOP Mosaics, (Ellington, Chaloff, Monk, Mingus) and about 50 single discs. I need to slow down but I can't help myself .

thanks Mark!

[Son-of-a-Weizen]

Yes....a big thanks! I can't believe how clean that vinyl is!

[sheldonm]

No problem guys, happy to do it!

That is (or was--it's dwindling!) the most incredible collection of jazz I've ever seen (they told me it was over 9000 discs). I didn't get near the 50(!) that sheldonm picked up, but I got a few gems over several lunch-hour trips to JRM:

ISKRA 1903: Frankfurt 1991

Peter Brotzmann: Reserve

Cecil Taylor: The Hearth

Charlie Kohlhase: Dancing on my Bedpost

Anthony Braxton: Eugene (1989)

Exploding Customer: Live at Glenn Miller Cafe

Andre Jaume: L'Oc

Bobby Bradford/John Carter: Comin' On

London Jazz Composers Orch.: Theoria

Barry Guy/Marilyn Crispell/Paul Lytton: Odyssey

And I put back dozens that I would have liked to have got. Still, I'm happy with what I found (though I've only listened to the ISKRA 1903 disc so far, except for samples at JRM when I was going through the painful process of deciding what to buy and what to put back). I nearly choked when I saw that stack of Mosaics, but just couldn't swing any of the ones I wanted.
