Chuck Nessa Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 Been waiting since the 17th for my Marion Brown disc from RAREWAVES-IMPORTS in the UK. I think my orders sent the "other way" arrive more quickly but I'm not bitching yet. Quote
Leeway Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 Been waiting since the 17th for my Marion Brown disc from RAREWAVES-IMPORTS in the UK. I think my orders sent the "other way" arrive more quickly but I'm not bitching yet. I ordered the Liszt box from them. Took a full 6 weeks to arrive! Sent sack mail. One would hope that with a smaller item they will spring for a faster shipping method. Still, 2 weeks would not be unusual based on my experience with other UK outfits.. Quote
J.A.W. Posted October 29, 2011 Author Report Posted October 29, 2011 In my experience ordering from the U.K. is a pain at the moment, a lot of packages take weeks to arrive, even though the Netherlands is just across the North Sea... Quote
Gheorghe Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 Will there be a reissue of Pharaoah Sanders "Life at the East"? I loved that LP, but couldnt find a CD. And how about those two "Americans in Europe" with Byas, Sulieman, Bud, Klook etc.? Quote

There seem to be issues in all ways and all directions and have been for some time. I've stopped ordering from outside UK myself. I just get bored waiting and there is no sense of what to expect - especially coming from U.S. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 You'll have to wait an extra hour after today. Quote
David Ayers Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 You'll have to wait an extra hour after today. No I thought of that. I got up an hour later than usual. I'm ahead of the game. By the way, Vandermark/Guy Fox Fire - how was it? Quote
sidewinder Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 The post into and out of here seems OK at the moment. Maybe it is a 'London thing'. Quote
Clunky Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 The last package I got from Chuck was here in Caledonia in 3 days!!! Quote

No problems to Australia - usually takes 5-10 days from europe/UK Quote

Enjoy and admire Vandermark, he's worth it (even if the purists think otherwise). Somewhat confused though, have they rereleased Fox Fire on Impulse? What's the other album on the twofer?

I believe it's something by Wynton Marsalis. Quote
Head Man Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 The last package I got from Chuck was here in Caledonia in 3 days!!! Yes, stuff from Chuck gets here VERY quickly. However, I'm still awaiting delivery of Julius Hemphill's "Dogon AD" from DustyGroove (also in Chicago) which I'm told was posted out to me on 11 October. Quote
colinmce Posted October 30, 2011 Report Posted October 30, 2011 All of these are available from sellers on Amazon for less than $7. That sure didn't take long. Quote
Rosco Posted October 30, 2011 Report Posted October 30, 2011 UK buyers: HMV.com has these for £4.93 a pop, free delivery. Most of the ones I've ordered have arrived in about 2 or 3 days. Quote

Good stuff - will be popping into the big London HMV tomorrow. Hopefully they are all 'up' on the shelves at that price. Quote

All in pristine condition, though. UK buyers: HMV.com has these for £4.93 a pop, free delivery. Most of the ones I've ordered have arrived in about 2 or 3 days.

Make sure you go to Fopp, 1 Earlham Street WC2H 9LL, they are run by HMV and carry very cheap stock (e.g. Blue Notes £3) which reflect offers on HMV website, so they may have the Impulses... Not far from Rays Jazz so kill two birds etc. Edited October 31, 2011 by David Ayers Quote
