ghost of miles Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Both excellent sets... wouldn't want to be without 'em. I'd like to revisit the Gillespie sides in particular sometime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Thought they'd been on the list for quite a while ... no mail received today anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 I finally pulled the trigger on the Chu Berry set today. It intrigues me, and I can't wait to get more Fletcher Henderson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjzee Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Just got the Chu Berry. #2207. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Not a big surprise that this one times out long before it would have actually sold out ... too bad this seems to happen so often in recent years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crisp Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Yes, it's sad that there seem to be so few newcomers to early 20th century jazz. The Chu Berry is a fantastic set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwingItTrev Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Yes, it's sad that there seem to be so few newcomers to early 20th century jazz. The Chu Berry is a fantastic set. There's some hope of newcomers to early jazz through the burgeoning swing dance communities and school jazz music programs. I'm trying share the joys, but it's hard to persuade younger folks the value of an [expensive] nicely done box set when they can download [poor] versions of the same tracks for virtually nothing.

jazzbo Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Not a big surprise that this one times out long before it would have actually sold out ... too bad this seems to happen so often in recent years! But. . . the numbers aren't sequential . . . though I guess you're right meaning this is timing out rather than selling out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 The Diz box is on its way over here. MG Good move ! Held up in Customs. Got a demand for £12-32 yesterday and paid it, so I hope to get it before Christmas. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's timing out, this is a funny time for it, as it was issued in the summer of 2007 - seems very odd to license material as old as ths for six and a half years MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Well I wouldn't know for sure, but with sets going on backorder and then being re-pressed again, I assume the fact that sets numbered in the 2000 range being sold at the end of the run means that there haven't been 5000 sets manufactured. Seems a fairly logical thought to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejp626 Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) It really seems almost yesterday that this was announced and I picked it up after it had been out maybe a year. *My understanding is that much of the material does time out at about 7 years. Obviously doesn't apply to the Mobley and a few other sets.* Sad that time is just flying by; not a good sign...

king ubu Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 No clue about timing out either ... might just not be feasible to manufacture another 1000 or so if it sells too slowly (2000 in 6 years ... including all the enthusiast pre-and early orders ... do another 1000 when the license runs 10 years and sales have slowed down?)

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 My Diz box just arrived. It's so well packed I might not be able to get it open until after Christmas MG Well, I got it open in three minutes. The number is 3021!! And for an edition of 10,000!!! Goodness!

ArtSalt Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 The Chu Berry set is one of my favourites, particularly the Cab Calloway stuff. According to my sources, the swing era Mosaic sets sell well in the US, but very little in Europe. I actually thought it would be the opposite.
