Thanks for the link

nabbed the 6CD "final VV" 6CD set - have very little late BE

Just realised that this is the same as the 10 LP (no CD) Mosaic set (171)

[GA Russell]

You're welcome!

Just found an excellent UK online site - primarily classical but with a good jazz selection

http://www.mdt.co.uk/listings/clearance-sale/jazz-clearance-sale.html

they have a decent clearance category (not just the usual clearance crapola)

easy to navigate about the site - well constructed IMHO

picked up the Enrico Rava Cam Jazz Set for £9.92 (VAT removed) - none of the other CAM Jazz sets appear to be reduced though

They have the Jazz House CDs (live at Ronnie Scott's) at half price - picked up Montgomery, Golson, Tracy, Freeman-Blythe double

anybody else used these people?

shipping costs are very reasonable (just over £1 per CD to Australia)

Yes, I have been using them for over 10 years. Hundreds of transactions with very few/no problems. I have been and am happy to keep using them. It was easier/faster for me to navigate before their recent upgrade to bells & whistles but still good enough.

[GA Russell]

Thanks for that tip, romualdo! I was unfamiliar with them.

I too ordered the Rava box. Great price! Unfortunately, they gave me no option to choose a shipping method less expensive than airmail, so that cost me an extra pound or so, but no complaints.

[GA Russell]

There are two Dave Brubeck Quartet Original Album Classics boxes. The one with the five odd time albums is now only $14.39.

PS - I should add that Amazon's price is $14.98 with free Super Saver shipping.

This excellent thread has been quiet lately, which is a shame. I have bought four items through browsing through it.

Good pre-order price on amazon.de:

http://www.amazon.de/The-Complete-1946-1954-Paris-Byas/dp/B009S2U6HI/

As for sound, if Definitive is an indication, it will be rather crappy I guess (and likely even MP3 sourced, you never quite now until you've checked that ... not that I adhere to those who think it matters if crappy editions are MP3-based or not, crap is crap ... but I still don't like buying CDs in those cases). But I'll be happy to be proven wrong. However, as I have the two JiP discs, the Americans Swinging in Paris and the Vogue w/Beryl Booker & Mary Lou Williams, I guess I've got enough (I would though go for a well-done *complete* Byas set of that - or any other! - period)!

Expires today sometime. Maybe it's a deal. I can't see the price.

[jazzbo]

Nearly ninety bucks. Meh.

Thanks for the price check. I should have been more diligent.
