mjzee Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 I'll also post this in an mp3 thread, but it seems relevant in this forum: Tal Farlow - $37.50 Johnny Hodges - $37.50 Gerry Mulligan - $18.80 Buddy Rich - $26.30 Jazztet - $37.50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Those prices seem high to me, though I haven't done the math. What does $37.50 work out to be per song? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Those prices seem high to me, though I haven't done the math. What does $37.50 work out to be per song? Less than 40 cents a song and the music publisher gets $.091 of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Chuck, considering that these are digital, not physical, do you feel that Universal could release them for a lot less and still make a good profit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 That depends on the contracts with artists. Remember them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonnymax Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) The cheapest tracks on eMusic are .49. Imo, $37.50 is a fair price for 7 discs. And don't forget that members who purchase a booster pack receive a bonus, so the price would be even even lower. Of course, there are other options. You could buy it at Amazon for $45.15, or go to iTunes and pay $49.99. Edited October 5, 2011 by sonnymax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Seeing the thread title I was hoping first for a Lee Konitz, Jimmy Giuffre and three more Complete Verve Mosaics... ah, blech. Let them who want buy their bits and bytes... not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Wish they would put the Stuff Smith on there ! Oh, I'm so glad to have it! Wonderful, wonderful music! Half of it was on a 2CD set (the Dizzy/OP sessions) and the album with Shirley Horn (of course missing the bonus tracks) was in the LPR/digipack/Originals-series at some time.

Big Wheel Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 A quality control question: I'm listening to the Golson/Farmer on Spotify right now and there is some kind of digital artifact that has ruined some of the tracks. Specifically, the sound I'm talking about starts at around 3:00 of "Little Karin" and continues all the way through the end of the set. (Anyone else with Spotify hear this, or do just I need to restart something?) Does anyone with the eMusic versions hear what I'm talking about, as well?

B. Goren. Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I have these Mosaic boxes and I can recommend all 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Expat Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 A quality control question: I'm listening to the Golson/Farmer on Spotify right now and there is some kind of digital artifact that has ruined some of the tracks.

(Anyone else with Spotify hear this, or do just I need to restart something?) Does anyone with the eMusic versions hear what I'm talking about, as well? This has come up on the emusic forum. Apparently this is a label problem, because the same problem is being reported on downloads of the same album from itunes and amazon. As others here can probably attest, people who own the physical album don't encounter the sound issue. Don't know if there's any headway being made on refunds or fixing it. I recommend emailing emusic customer service and requesting a refund due to sound problems. They're usually pretty good about that. Cheers.
