Fer Urbina Posted May 19, 2014 Report Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) Not sure if that's a bargain or an overpriced collection of material slowly getting out of copyright "prison " , looks interesting, anybody can share more light on this set, details are sketchy at best http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00IY28XK0/ref=pe_208681_48552121_em_1p_0_ti I'm not a fan of the Charly label, dreadful sound, often from vinyl. But the set will be interesting listening and broad in scope (120 different artists for the 269 cuts). Haven't listened to it yet, but it's a sturdy long box, with a thick booklet in landscape format, not the easiest to handle. Plenty of images, not much text, and no detailed discographical data, only year of release. As for copyright issues, there's a note saying that The Vee-Jay® logo is a registered trademark of Vee-Jay Limited Partnership [...] used under licence by Artistry Music Limited. I haven't seen any mention to sources or master tapes. F Edited May 19, 2014 by Fer Urbina Quote
mjzee Posted May 19, 2014 Report Posted May 19, 2014 How long is each disc, 40-ish minutes or 70-ish minutes? Quote
Fer Urbina Posted May 19, 2014 Report Posted May 19, 2014 How long is each disc, 40-ish minutes or 70-ish minutes? CDs 1 to 7 are 28 tracks each, CD 8 has 30, CD 9 has 26 and CD 10 (jazz), 17. All close to the 80 min. mark, I suppose. F Quote
felser Posted May 19, 2014 Report Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) The big issue wil be the sound quality/sourcing. I would not be shocked if a lot of the cuts are from vinyl sources. Edited May 19, 2014 by felser Quote

king ubu Posted July 11, 2014 Report Posted July 11, 2014 Their international shipping is high (I don't know how high really), but it might be worth mentioning that discplus.ch has the three Django "season" boxes (containing all the volumes of their "Intégrale") at a very good price (roughly 25€ per box): Saison 1 - 1928-1938 (14 CD) Saison 2 - 1938-1947 (14 CD) Saison 3 - 1947-1953 (12 CD) in case the links don't work, go here and do a search for "Django saison": http://discplus.ch/ Turns out to be around 118 or 130€ delivered to the US (economy/priority shipping), 106 or 114€ to France or Germany ... not that much of a bargain then, but still not bad, I guess (shipping makes no difference between 2 or 3 of the boxes, for just 1 it's somewhat less, but still pricey ... and now, I couldn't help out, it would probably cost me as much to send them to the US as they charge - they obviously don't have one of those slave labour contracts with mail services the way big bad evil A has, so they're charging actual shipping costs).

neveronfriday Posted August 1, 2014 Report Posted August 1, 2014 Thanks for the heads up, once again! I already have these, but at those prices (I also added some other boxes) I was able to buy a whole bunch of future presents for people who are always surprised when I bring them, for example, the complete Brubeck along for dinner. Always a total hit! Quote
