Both are worthy. Edited March 11, 2021 by Chuck Nessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 Ok, what who is this "Hamilton Book"...are they the new Daedalus, a book/music company that specializes in a healthy stock of "remainders" and "overstocks" and "cutouts" and such? I used to love to shop Daedalus when they carried a lot of "real" labels, befire they shifted to all the EuroPDMusiPorn. Tell me that "HamiltonBook" might be worth my time, please?

If anything, Daedaus was the new Hamilton. I used to order from the Hamilton catalog (printed, mailed out) 25-30 years ago. Totally reputable, sometimes have some great items, always good prices. I've had less involvement with them in the mature internet age, and they dropped me from their mailing list some years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 ok, good to know, thanks. I did some browsing and alas, they have a LOT of the Blight Boxes, but enough legit side-pocket stuff that I could see an order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 Yes, I still buy books from them once a year or so. Don't get their catalogs in the mail any longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim, a great many of their books go for less than six dollars. I buy a few every month or two for my nieces and nephews for Christmas, and just let them stack up in my closet. On Christmas Day, the kids love Uncle Russ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyin' Wolf Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 I just went to the Daedalus website and saw no mention of music at all. Is this a recent change or am I looking at the wrong site or place on the site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 No, you've done right, seems they are not listing music at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please report back on that after you give it a listen! John, I opened up Disc B on May 5 last week. Because I liked the band so much at the time, my curiosity is a big factor in my opinion. I would have loved to have all this music then. But today, I find the film soundtrack more interesting than pleasant to listen to. I can recommend this to the group's fans, but I don't think people here who are unfamiliar with the band would find this box particularly appealling. I would strongly recommend that they get copies of the band's two released albums instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confirms my suspicions, so I know now that if I were to buy this, it would only be for the first disc. Noticed that you listend to the second disc exactly one year after the first disc - was that by design? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That evening I saw the band play at George Washington University, and Manfred let me plug my cassette recorder into his system! Great memories.

I used to get their catalog in the mail but I found it so poorly laid out that I never did buy anything. Daedalus rarely interests me anymore since they dropped music after focusing on all the European P.D. sets instead of offering bargains of US CDs and boxed sets. Hamilton's book selection is far better than what Daedalus has offered over the past year or so. I just placed my first order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember how happy "everybody" was about tighter inventory controls and production runs thanks to UPC codes and centralized computer reports and all that....market efficiencies. Waste would be reduced, if not eliminated entirely. Well, there's something to be said about waste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing matches the old thrill of finding a Blue Note album I never knew existed sitting in a $1 cutout bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Yeah, I think part of the reason the outlets got loaded up with all that offbrand eurocrap was that at some point that was all they had for available new inventory. The real labels cut out their waste and stores like these had to have inventory, and there THAT stuff was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
