Tom 1960 Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 I must be in the minority. I received the Woody Shaw Muse box set fairly quickly. Couldn't have been more than a week. I ordered the Savoy set earlier today and we'll see how long that takes. No hurry on this end seeing that they seem overwhelmed with the influx of orders. Plan on ordering the Beehive set next month and that might be it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered the Lester/Basie on May 4th - same as you, I believe - along with 2 other in stock sets. Just got my shipment of all three today. I figured that it was the Lester that was the hold up as it went out of stock right after I placed my order.

They told me that when I placed the order, their system showed the Lester/Basie in stock, and it was - but it didn't show that they were out of boxes (the ones that hold the CDs, booklet, tray), and that's what they've been waiting for to come in.

WarpedOrb Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Order of Pass/Shaw/Bee Hive arrived. Took under three weeks from order placement to doorstep; not bad considering. With these Mosaic orders and the recent Squidco sale I feel like a glutton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rostasi Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I ordered a couple of things nearly 7 weeks ago. They aren't returning emails. I'm ready to withdraw my Paypal payment if I don't hear from them by July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFrank Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Anyone notice that Mosaic is now selling old brochures? There are 3 of them for sale on the "Last Chance" list for $10 each. They must REALLY need cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFrank Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 In today's Mosaic Newsletter: "The internet has changed our world for better and for worse. In 2016, Mosaic Records had to abandon its brochures, once our only pipeline to the jazz world, because the production and postal costs no longer justified the catalog in this world of email, websites and electronic payments. We put a lot of thought and love into the writing, photography and design of those brochures. We've decided to unlock our stash of previous brochures and make them available to our customers. Quantities vary drastically but each one is priced at $10 while they last. We are beginning with brochure nos. 7 to 35. More issues will be made available periodically. For a complete listing of what's available please click image above." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dolan Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Not that I'm aware of. I get emails from them once or twice a week. But certainly not every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFrank Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I think they're still weekly, although the schedule seems to be erratic lately. I'm sure the staff is pre-occupied with "other things" right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ayers Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 So...when you buy from Mosaic you are funding staff to mess about compiling a weekly email containing links to youtube and blogspot - ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2scoops Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 You obviously haven't seen the email from yesterday, in view of your continuing negative comments. This particular email is to inform followers of Mosaic that the Duke Ellington and MJQ boxes are now "Running Low", which no doubt will encourage some customers to come off the fence if they were considering purchasing. In fact, following the email the Duke Ellington box has now disappeared from Jazz Messengers in Europe. So no links to YouTube or blogspots, simply promoting product.

Even if the Sunday Gazette is "funded," isn't it Mosaic's prerogative what they do with their money? It seems reasonable that the gentlemen there would/should be compensated for their time and energy. I see the Gazette as a way to further spread the gospel of jazz. It is a discussion of sorts to point you in new directions and provide insight and guidance...one of the hallmarks of Mosaic and part of the essence of their endeavor right from the start. Part of Mosaic's success, and magic, has been how successful they have been when operating in "trust us" territory. I enjoy the Gazette and click through on links of interest which do lead to stories which originate in a variety of publications as well as performance videos from youtube. I see no harm in it at all. Given that only a few stories in each issue have a direct tie-in to current Mosaic products it seems quite altruistic that they do this, And for those which do connect to their current product how could you fault them for a little self-promotion?
