Classic Coleman Hawkins Sessions Available for Preorder!

[JETman]

My last three or four sets came USPS, which is fine by me. Probably won't have mine til Monday.

Monday's a federal holiday.

[jazzbo]

Yeah, you're right. I'm not working so I lose track of some of these things. It'll be here in Austin then, get to me Tuesday. I'm fine with that.

Can't wait!! And hopefully they'll be able to back it up with the Chick Webb box for Christmas!

(then Earl Hines, then Charlie Barnet please )

Anybody get their copy yet?!?!?! UPS says Thursday (5/31) for me. I'll post my first impressions then.

[tranemonk]

Mine is supposed to be delivered tomorrow!

Same here!

Me three!

We in Canada will have to wait much longer. I think the extra shipping charge we pay is to cover the storage costs while they deign to move it along...

Mine arrived this morning as I was leaving for work. Caught the UPS man just in time.

Surely I can't be the first to receive it?

So did you bring it to work for a listen?

Blasting out the office as we speak

Congrats! I knew you'd get it before me, simply because it's tough for them to send it "ground" to the UK. I'm scheduled for June 4th since it's 3000 miles by truck(s). I can wait, though it'll be tougher once the reports of how dreamy it is.

[tranemonk]

Just got mine...

[golfcrazy1984]

For those who've received it already, how is it!?!?!?

I know....mine will be here on Thursday, but the anticipation is killing me.

[jazzbo]

#485 just delivered. Booklet is very thick. kids wouldn't dare let me listen to this now, so first impressions will have to wait.

[medjuck]

According to my wife, mine has arrived in Santa Barbara. Unfortunately I'm in LA.

Mine has no number! Unless it's written somewhere other than the usual place. If not, I'll write a nice number 1 on the inside cover and head over to eBay...

It's now pre-printed at the bottom of the booklet's back cover. But your idea works too!

[golfcrazy1984]

Ok....I'm glad everyone is receiving their copies, and everyone is getting a (relatively) low numbered set. But has anyone listened to it? Good or bad? Sound quality? Impressions?

Mine is coming in tomorrow, but I have a gig at night, so not sure if the UPS man will get to my house before I have to leave....

At least I know I'll be listening to it all day Friday!

[jazzbo]

I've listened to the first two discs, twice each. I think the sound quality is excellent for this early material.

Ah, thanks. I was looking at the inside front cover. Now I have to wait until tonight before I can check it. The suspense will probably kill me...
