Pete B Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 John Coltrane Prestige box, near new condition. $90 shipped in the USA (will ship to other countries at cost). Payment by check or by paypal. Send me a pm if interested. Thanks Pete Quote
Scott Dolan Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 Hey Pete, can I ask you a question? Did you have problems with the back cover on yours? Mine came off just a few days after I had purchased it. I always wondered it was a manufacturing flaw, or mine just didn't get enough glue. Quote
jazzbo Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 I bought mine. . .oh maybe fifteen years ago or more? Glue was on and stayed on all this time. I think you got one made Friday afternoon. . . . Quote
Scott Dolan Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 I bought mine. . .oh maybe fifteen years ago or more? Glue was on and stayed on all this time. I think you got one made Friday afternoon. . . . That's always been my assumption. Quote
Pete B Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Posted January 3, 2014 I had always assumed the back cover was a temporary thing meant to come off after opening since it detached so readily. Anyway, it resides safely within the box lid now. Quote
Scott Dolan Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 AHA! The plot thickens. I'm not the only one, then. Mine has always remained attached towards the top, and never completely come off. But if I didn't make a conscious effort to hold it in place whenever I grab the box it would have easily pulled all the way off by now. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 Mine was not glued at all. It came off with the plastic outer wrap. Same as the Miles box. Like Pete, both of my boxes have the back sheet inside the box now. Quote
Scott Dolan Posted January 4, 2014 Report Posted January 4, 2014 OK, that makes me feel better. It's really not necessary, but it's nice enough to be able to turn the box over and see the playlist. Can't recall exactly what I paid for mine a decade ago (maybe $135?), but $90 is a steal either way. Quote
JSngry Posted January 4, 2014 Report Posted January 4, 2014 Can't recall exactly what I paid for mine a decade ago (maybe $135?), but $90 is a steal either way. And that, dear friends, is the true crux of this matter. Somebody should prepare to get happy and carpe diem all over this thing! Quote
Scott Dolan Posted January 4, 2014 Report Posted January 4, 2014 Without question! If I had the chance to get this phenomenal box set at that price, I wouldn't even give it a second thought. No brainer... Quote
jazzbo Posted January 4, 2014 Report Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) And never hesitate to do business with Pete. He's among the best ever to deal with. I checked and mine IS glued on, oddly enough. Maybe I glued it on myself. I've done stranger things! I just realized that the back cover of my "Bark" LP by the Airplane has all the song and personnel info very nicely printed on the back cover, and I did that nearly forty years ago. But didn't remember that I had. Edited January 4, 2014 by jazzbo Quote
Scott Dolan Posted January 4, 2014 Report Posted January 4, 2014 Science proves that your back cover isn't any more glued on than any of ours. Quote
jazzbo Posted January 4, 2014 Report Posted January 4, 2014 Okay wise guy. My own fingertips tell me it's glued! Quote
JSngry Posted January 4, 2014 Report Posted January 4, 2014 Somebody who doesn't have this set but thinks they might want/should have it, this is your time. Buy it now or become yet one more of the multitudinous And never hesitate to do business with Pete. He's among the best ever to deal with. This. Quote
Scott Dolan Posted January 4, 2014 Report Posted January 4, 2014 Okay wise guy. My own fingertips tell me it's glued! Hahaha... En garde! Quote
Pete B Posted January 5, 2014 Author Report Posted January 5, 2014 Set is sold. Thanks for all the help guys! Quote
CJ Shearn Posted January 6, 2014 Report Posted January 6, 2014 Mine never had that insert on the back for longer than 5 minutes. Quote
JSngry Posted January 7, 2014 Report Posted January 7, 2014 I'd buy it just for the Elmer Hope session. Quote
