Face of the Bass Posted July 2, 2011 Report Posted July 2, 2011 Does anybody know if this box set is available anywhere? It can be had as an MP3, but I'm looking for the actual physical artifact. Thanks. Quote
Face of the Bass Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Posted July 2, 2011 There's this one , but it's big $. Thanks...I actually missed that one in my Amazon search, somehow. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted July 2, 2011 Report Posted July 2, 2011 The price isn't that bad when you consider it as 5 lps on 3 cds. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted July 2, 2011 Report Posted July 2, 2011 Right. The only one I don't have is The Owl, but I'm sure Roba cost me that much on its own! Quote
Leeway Posted July 2, 2011 Report Posted July 2, 2011 I'm sure it OOP. I picked up my copy on a visit to Amoeba in Los Angeles, $35. I was thrilled. You might check with them (L.A. or San Francisco). Quote
brownie Posted July 3, 2011 Report Posted July 3, 2011 I have not seen this box in Paris stores in a long time. Got mine on Chuck Nessa's insistance several years ago when it was still readily available! Thanks once more Chuck Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted July 3, 2011 Report Posted July 3, 2011 It's on e-music if you are not averse to downloads. Quote
Face of the Bass Posted July 5, 2011 Author Report Posted July 5, 2011 I decided to order the one from Amazon. Considering that the box is OOP and that none of my usual sources had it, it seemed like a very reasonable price. Now the great reshuffling of my music collection is just about complete. I think in the last couple of weeks I've sold about 12 or 13 box sets, and have used the proceeds to buy a different batch of music, that I think is more reflective of where my current tastes and interests actually lie. It was kind of like I was a kid again, trading baseball cards...enjoyable. Quote

colinmce Posted March 26, 2014 Report Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) So I just put in an order for this from Saravah. They have it on their website for 17eur shipped ($24). The order went through seamlessly and I saw no notice about it being out of stock or anything. The website is also up to date. We'll see what happens? Edited March 26, 2014 by colinmce Quote
Leeway Posted March 26, 2014 Report Posted March 26, 2014 That would be very cool if it works. I took a look at the site. I found the download option at $15 Euro, and what looks like the 3 CD option at 45Euro plus 4 Euro shipping, if my basic French reading ability can be relied on (iffy). So not sure what to think. I'm surprised at all that they are still vending. Quote
colinmce Posted March 26, 2014 Report Posted March 26, 2014 Hm. All I saw was a 15 euro option. I purchased it and they tacked on 2 for shipping. I didn't get any note about downloading or a link or the like. I hope I didn't just spend money on mp3s... Quote
colinmce Posted March 26, 2014 Report Posted March 26, 2014 Following the download link on Saravah leads to links to download at several different sites. Nothing specific to the label. Quote
Leeway Posted March 26, 2014 Report Posted March 26, 2014 Heres the page I was looking at: http://www.saravah.fr/steve-lacy/scratching-the-seventies-dreams,1082 Note the "Votre panier" box to the lower right. Click on that and it opens a PayPal window for 45 euro. Looks like it is for 3 CD. The 15 euro option seems to open up a download window, DLs available from several sites. I am not at all sure of any of this, just thought I'd point it out. Great set of music, any new source would be welcome. Quote
colinmce Posted March 26, 2014 Report Posted March 26, 2014 Odd. All I saw was a 15e option. I added it, went to pay, which went straight to PayPal with 2e tacked on for shipping. My receipt didn't say anything about downloading, nor have I gotten a follow up email with that kind of info. We'll see how it plays out. Quote
colinmce Posted March 27, 2014 Report Posted March 27, 2014 Got a refund and an out of stock notice. Ho hum. Quote
Head Man Posted March 27, 2014 Report Posted March 27, 2014 There's one for sale at Discogs at the moment: http://www.discogs.com/marketplace?release_id=1209191&ev=rb Quote
colinmce Posted March 27, 2014 Report Posted March 27, 2014 Yeah, I saw that one. I think I could do better down the road, price wise. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted March 27, 2014 Report Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) $64.95 seems totally reasonable. Spent a fair amount more than that accumulating the LPs before the set came out! They're absolutely great, indispensable, etc. Edited March 27, 2014 by clifford_thornton Quote

clifford_thornton Posted March 27, 2014 Report Posted March 27, 2014 As I'm sure Colin is aware (but others may not be), Ideal Bread will be releasing a 2-disc set on Cuneiform later this spring called "Beating The Teens," which is comprised of their takes on each of the tunes in the Scratching the Seventies boxed set. Great band if you haven't heard them. Quote
jlhoots Posted March 27, 2014 Report Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) I pre-ordered the Ideal Bread set. I also had a $25 Amazon gift card & ordered the Lacy: Scratching The Seventies 3 CD set. It was the last copy at Amazon marketplace & has already shipped - the gift card made the price palatable, at least to me. Edited March 27, 2014 by jlhoots Quote
