JSngry Posted September 15, 2013 Report Posted September 15, 2013 I carpe diemed on that Dionne Warwick set...gems aplenty therein. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted September 15, 2013 Report Posted September 15, 2013 There ARE gems in those there sets. I got the Wilson PIckett box a couple of years ago. I knew the singles, of course, but the albums as albums were a big surprise. PIckett really was one of the greatest male soul singers of all time. Been contemplating Dionne Warwick... Still am...

felser Posted September 15, 2013 Report Posted September 15, 2013 The Butterfield is awesome. The ttitle track to East-West alone is worth the price of the entire box. Quote
StarThrower Posted September 21, 2013 Report Posted September 21, 2013 This 5 CD box has generally been high priced, but I just snagged a copy from Wayside Music for 36 dollars. About half of the list price. http://www.waysidemusic.com/ Quote

About half of the list price. http://www.waysidemusic.com/ That's a good price .... in fact the final two albums aren't that good, I think (some synth stuff, too, be warned), while the middle one is good rather than very good (the first two are mighty fine though ... and so's the Calig from the same time period).

disaac Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 Currently out of stock but Steve at Wayside says they are trying to get more at that price. Quote

David Ayers Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 Today I pre-ordered the Coltrane box set 'Heavyweight Champion' from Amazon.uk for the amazing price of £25.39. I understand that it's repackaged in a clamshell box with card sleeves. Release dated quoted as 8th October. Apparently it's part of a greater reissue programme by Warner Jazz/Rhino from the Warner and Atlantic catalogues which will include Mingus' 6 cd set 'Passions of a man'. Just in time for Christmas, my wife has been informed!!! Currently even cheaper at £20.79 Quote

The back art differs slightly from the 1997 box (the blue Warner Music Group logo, and it's made in the EU instead of the U.S.A.). Edited October 5, 2013 by erwbol Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 6, 2013 Report Posted October 6, 2013 Glad this came up. I've always (since about 1960) seen those Mingus Atlantics about and wanted to get them (all). But for one reason or other, the only one I've ever got has been 'Blues & roots'. So I sprang for this one - got it from a seller for £16-79 +1.26 postage. MG Quote
