Complete Clifford Brown Emarcy recordings

Generalmente spedito entro 1-2 mesi = Generally ships in 1-2 months? And was released on April 23, 2013? So basically still SOL, right?

That's too long to wait on a hope.

ha.

What worries me is the positive % rating - 90% or lower. I like to avoid anybody who's less than 98%. That there are so many apparent users only increases the discomfort that I have about me becoming one in the 10% (or more) who don't leave happy, and with an overseas transaction, that's especially not what I'm looking for. Because I can't just get in the car, tank up, and go knock on/down a door.

So -anybody here have experience with them?

No, but if you buy it through the Amazon marketplace it doesn't really matter, you're protected if something goes wrong. And my impression on the bad ratings is that it's usually about improperly graded used items.

Ah, my preferred first line of defense is to protect myself by not getting into a position where I need to be protected by the kindness of strangers... but the news that grading, not fulfillment, might be the main cause of negative ratings is both encouraging and useful. Thanks for that.

You can review their individual ratings. I took a quick look, and all the complaints have to do with slow overseas shipping or unreceived merchandise. I'd personally avoid them.

I recently picked up the box set (original 11 CD from EmArcy). Long been on the essential, must list own and found it at a nice price at a local shop. As expected Brownie, Roach, Land are flawless. I've heard most of the discs in the past. That said, I'd gladly give back tracks with the presence of Maynard Ferguson piercing my speakers and bleeding my ear drums. Maybe he was having an off night, but I have little serious familiarity with Ferguson's music. As a kid in the 70s I recall him and a name association game would yield unfavorable memories (apologies to fans of his - just giving personal opinion). How in God's name did he share a stage with Brownie? It seems cruel to him. Again, maybe it was just a bad night for Ferguson.
