mjzee Posted February 20, 2011 Report Posted February 20, 2011 I opened Crisp's link in Google Chrome. Here's how the software translated the Italian into English: If the protagonist is Bill Evans. If the box contains 15 albums recorded for the Riverside and Milestone in the golden age, the 50s and 60s. If the booklet of 32 pages of each album cover are faithfully reproduced and record information. If the holiday companions are musicians such as Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian (the great Bill Evans trio that led the Olympus of the great creators of contemporary jazz), Freddie Hubbard, Zoot Sims, Jim Hall, Ron Carter, Chuck Israels, Sam Jones, Percy Heath, Teddy Kotick, Philly Joe Jones, Paul Chambers, Don Elliot, if the box set includes recordings posthumous duet with Don Elliot of the trio in 1956 and in January 1959, and if the price (recommended) is only € 44.50 ... Then we are again faced with a new box made by Universal Music Italy for another great international success Quote

Van Basten II Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 A crazy deal on Rhino Led Zeppelin 10 miniLP cd set. I believe this is a Japanese remastering job, which they retail for $174. Price slashed to $87. http://www.rhino.com...20&cmpid=CROZEP Among those who have ordered it, have you received it, still waiting for mine, wrote them saturday, have not been answered To quote Led Zed Its been a long time, been a long time, Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.

PHILLYQ Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 Van Basten, I ordered one and it took about 2 weeks before it arrived(I live in the US.) Have you been waiting more than 3 weeks? Quote
Van Basten II Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 On a previous communication with them, they told me it was shipped january the 21st, I ordered it the 13th. Quote
JohnT Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 Still no Peterson Mosaic -- 27 days and counting.... Quote
miles65 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 I ordered the OP box on January, 25. UK to The Netherlands is mostley a week or so. But so far no OP box for me. Sellar gave me positive feedback though. Today I Sent Filmzone1 a mail asking were it is. Answer to my mail was that it must have been lost in the mail. The replacement they sent arrived today. Now find time to play the CD's Quote
colinmce Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 Hm. I imagine mine, sitting lonely in a massive pile waiting to be "inspected". I suppose if I don't get it in another month I'll really just assume I'm screwed. Quote
Van Basten II Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 On a previous communication with them, they told me it was shipped january the 21st, I ordered it the 13th. They finally replied, a replacement is coming. Quote
Bigshot Posted February 26, 2011 Report Posted February 26, 2011 (edited) My Peterson box arrived today in good shape. No number on it. Perhaps they went a little over 10k Edited February 26, 2011 by Bigshot Quote
colinmce Posted February 26, 2011 Report Posted February 26, 2011 I finally sent an email asking about the package. They said they'd get back to me on Monday. Quote
Sandman Posted February 26, 2011 Report Posted February 26, 2011 My copy came yesterday. Also with no number that I could find. Seems to be in good condition, sealed, etc. Quote
Face of the Bass Posted February 27, 2011 Report Posted February 27, 2011 My copy arrived today. It seems that the border patrol finally finished having their way with them and are now sending them along to their final destinations. Quote
colinmce Posted February 27, 2011 Report Posted February 27, 2011 Mine too. What a harrowing ordeal Quote
Van Basten II Posted February 27, 2011 Report Posted February 27, 2011 This thread has turned into what box set are you fearing to be lost in the mail. Quote
Ron S Posted February 27, 2011 Report Posted February 27, 2011 The European Universal editions of Mosaics are never individually numbered, Bros, just so's ya know. Quote
GA Russell Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Posted March 1, 2011 I ordered the Sonny Rollins Prestige box from Newberry Dec. 10, and it still hasn't arrived yet. Newbury are serious and reliable, holiday post is slow and maybe unreliable. I'd keep faith in Newbury, if it were me. I requested a refund this evening. It has been a month today since I placed my order. Newbury did not respond to my Monday (Jan 10) request for a refund, so this evening I filed a claim with Amazon. Amazon says that the matter should be resolved by Jan 28 (in two weeks). Yesterday Amazon informed me that they would refund my money. However, they said that the refund would take up to ten business days. So now I'm going back to keeping my eye open for the next time the Sonny Rollins Prestige box is a bargain. Yesterday Amazon informed me that they would refund my money. However, they said that the refund would take up to ten business days. So now I'm going back to keeping my eye open for the next time the Sonny Rollins Prestige box is a bargain. Amazon's refund was credited to my account yesterday. Add to that $32.97 the $20 Amazon gift card from yesterday's LivingSocial deal, and I've got $52.97 to spend! It's burning a hole in my pocket, as my late mother used to say! I forgot to tell you! Guess what showed up Feb. 15! I contacted Amazon and asked them to charge me again. Not only is Newbury owed the money, but I want to see if I can delete my negative rating of the transaction. I wasn't happy with Newbury's response to my problem, but I never blamed them for the original failure to receive the package. Quote

Fer Urbina Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 This is probably no news for everyone here, but Amazon UK look like they're disposing of their Sony stock (... actually, not only Amazon, Fopp in London has had some good offers). Anyhow, the Complete Miles Davis w/ Coltrane, and w/ Gil Evans are at a very good price, the budget version of the complete Billie Holiday on Columbia too, etc. They make very nice presents, methinks.

king ubu Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 Yes, the Lady Day set can be had for 10£ on amazon.co.uk Also, amazon.de/.fr/.co.uk have great marketplace offers for the Lonehill set of Elmo Hope's trios. Quote
mjzee Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 This is a pretty good deal for a good singer, £13.43 for four original albums: Amazon UK Quote
Morganized Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 MILES DAVIS LIVE AT THE PLUGGED NICKEL NEW $108.77 BOX SET Quote
Big Wheel Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 That's bizarre. "May require an extra 1 to 2 days to process"? I wonder where they are sourcing these from? Quote
Big Wheel Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 Also bizarre: the price just dropped to 108.63 in the last couple of hours (for me at least - I dunno if Amazon is up to its old antics with personalizing prices). Just think, if this keeps happening, in a couple of weeks we'll be able to get the box for $40. Quote
