Thanks! I just grabbed one of these!

Not sure why these keep popping up as bargains - they ARE bargains after all, conceived as such and really not worth mentioning all the time.

But maybe I'm just grumpy and wish for there being enough serious reissues that some of them would be bargained every now and then ... tempi passati, I assume - sic transit gloria reeditionum

Agreed.

Posting here because this is where it will probably get noticed:

For today only Amazon UK is taking £10 off orders of £50 or more with the code BIGTHANKS.

Thanks for that. I need the Bill Evans Complete Verve Box (sans shrapnel enclosure) and the Miles Bootleg V4 !

Not jazz: There is a new series called Greatest Ever!  I bought through Amazon Marketplace the title "Greatest Ever! Reggae The Definitive Collection."  3 CDs, excellent selection, currently $6.34 plus shipping.  Although no label can be seen on the graphics, on the bottom of the box there is a Universal logo, so it's legit.  Lots of other titles in the series: Nineties, New Wave Hits, Movie Hits, Punk & New Wave, etc.  Worth taking a look.  See: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W9WBD6M?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00

Thanks for the heads up on the Coleman box from amazon.uk! A copy was just dispatched to me for a total of £10.30 ($16.60).

Dusty Groove has the Serge Chaloff Mosaic box for $79.

[TedR]

Coincidentally I was browsing around Amazon while watching baseball tonight and came across an Amazon seller who was selling the Mosaic Complete CBS Buck Clayton Jam Sessions for $79.99 plus shipping which was almost half of the next seller's price. They say "like new" (2 jewel cases still sealed) condition including box ("very good") so I'll find out soon enough. Hopefully not too good to be true because I regretted not getting this when it was available. 

[Chuck Nessa]

Great catch.

[TedR]

Yeah, thanks. Not quite the same as hunting through the racks at a favorite record store and finding something unexpected. But it's close.

Just noticed that Pop Market has MILES DAVIS - THE COMPLETE COLUMBIA ALBUMS COLLECTION for $269.99.

Not bad for 52 albums on 70 CDs in mini LP replica jackets

[BillF]

Toshiko Akiyoshi (as new) and Cohn Newman & Green (v.good) Mosaic Selects on eBay UK for £30 each.

The second quintet DVD has one extra track, Walkin', that was cut from the Karlsruhe footage for the disc's addition to the first bootleg series volume, though it is still listed in the end credits. I never understood why this happened.

Complete Remastered Black Saint/Soul Note on sale again at importcds.com

52€ at amazon.it when checking out (shipping to be added, not for me though - too good to pass up, although I'd prefer to have it all with the presentation of the old Japanese series)

[mikeweil]

Congrats - hard to resist at that price. It's up again at € 63.30, Fresh Sound asks for 69.95 - good bargain.

[ornette]

Billy Cobham Atlantic Years at £22.99.

Out next month.

This edition has only master takes, right? That was what kept me from buying it when it was issued, as I have almost everything I really wanted on single Mercury CDs with alternates.

[king ubu]

Yes indeed, masters only alas - but still lots of music I haven't been able to get so far. And it's rather nicely done, alike their Felsted set (not the cheaper one on five discs by some other PD label but the Freshsound one ... though the cheaper offers more or less the same information/reprint of original liners, I think).

Hi Guys

I cannot find the Soul Note box set Mingus Big Band anywhere, any ideas.
