This from an email I received from "Downtown Music Gallery" in NY

WEEK 38 - December 13th, 2010

This week brings another batch of just acquired collections..

The first list is lo-ong Out-Of-Print MOSAIC LIMITED EDITION BOX SETS

(If you don't know what these are, go to http://www.mosaicrecords.com/outofprint.asp for the learning experience)

BUT, It's those who know about these are the ones who will show interest!

These belonged to a super-audiophile [with an $80k system, we kid you not]

MOST are LP sets, and a few are the CD editions [that he bought for the CD player in the bedroom!]

The Vinyl is STONE MINT!

The packaging is also perfect in the complete sets but we'll say Mint Minus so the picayune amonst you will be mollified! [any physical detriments are noted]

When new, these sets cost an average of $25-$30 per LP times the number of LPs in the box set [i.e., a 4 LP set was $100-120, etc]

You really won't see this stuff again in this condition - if you've been paying attention on eBay and elsewhere, you know the values being achieved have reached - in some cases - $100 per each LP x # of LPs in set!

COMPLETE MOSAIC LP SETS:

#107 The Complete Blue Note Forties Recordings of Ike Quebec and John Hardee (4 LPs)

$225

#109 The Complete Edmond Hall/James P. Johnson/Sidney De Paris/Vic Dickenson Blue Note Sessions (6 LPs)

$350

#110 The Complete Blue Note Recordings of Sidney Bechet (6 LPs)

$399

#119 The Pete Johnson/Earl Hines/Teddy Bunn Blue Note Sessions (1 LP)

$50

#126 The Complete Johnny Hodges Recordings 1951-1955 (6 LPs)

$350

#127 The Complete Candid Recordings of Cecil Taylor and Buell Neidlinger (6 LPs)

$499

#143 The Complete 1959 CBS Charles Mingus Sessions (4 Q-LPs)

$299

#158 Miles Davis: The Complete Plugged Nickel Sessions (10 Q-LPs)

$799

#123 The Complete Commodore Jazz Recordings, Volume I (23 LPs)

$999

#134 The Complete Commodore Jazz Recordings, Volume III (20 LPs)

$999

MOSAIC CD SETS

#147 The Complete Serge Chaloff Sessions (4 CDs)

$199

Complete, but missing some packaging:

#152 The Complete CBS Recording of Eddie Condon and His All Stars - 5 CDs PLUS BOOK, but NO BOX

$150

#159 The Phil Woods Quartet/Quintet 20th Anniversary Set - 5 CDs PLUS BOX, BUT NO BOOK

$150

#161 - The Complete Blue Note Andrew Hill Sessions (1963-66) - 7 CDs BUT NO BOOK OR BOX

$175

That statement is not true. The early Mosaic sets were priced at something like $10 per LP.

Yeah, sorry that "sale" is a joke.

By "new" they probably mean "sealed boxes on eBay." Though if you adjust for inflation, maybe that's how much Mosaic boxes in 1984 or whatever cost in 2010 dollars...

TODAY ONLY the trumpet case "Genius of Miles Davis" box sale is on sale for 399 and free shipping from http://www.popmarket.com/

Don't forget to use the promo code LEGACY10 to get 10% off. ($360 for the miles davis trumpet box w/43 CDs)

Well, I don't know what bonehead imposed the rules on the Pop Market web site, but it won't allow me to even view the listing of this box set without having an account, which I signed up for but never received an email back, which means my account is "not active" and I'm SOL.

To all those who were successful in signing up, you've got less than 25 minutes left!!! :o
