felser Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 You think that Mobley set took a long time to sell out? Consider how long a Bill Barron issued in this post-CD era would take to sell 5,000 copies (though I'd pre-order it).

Ken Dryden Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) I received my order from the upcoming open house sale. The Woody Shaw CBS set, which I had neglected to buy. Hope to listen to it this weekend after I finish transcribing and editing my interview with Jim McNeely. Edited March 17, 2018 by Ken Dryden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't/can't get a copy of the Woody Shaw CBS set, I've got one I'd be glad to send you (in excellent shape). I don't have a specific price in mind, but I would donate EVERY penny directly to Jim for running this board (you can pay him (the board) directly). So while I might haggle to at least get something reasonable for it -- it wouldn't be for my own benefit -- only the benefit of the Big O Board (and I'll even throw in the cost of shipping myself).

If you can't attend the open house that is coming soon, ask about getting a partial list of what they have available. Michael Cuscuna read my post here and emailed me a list, which I greatly appreciate. I guess that the Teddy Wilson is en route. I asked for one but didn’t hear back.

Lyin' Wolf Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Getting back to the topic of this thread, I just noticed that another set has dropped off the Last Chance list and in now OOP. It was an LP set but not sure which one - The Getz perhaps? At any rate, Mosaic now lists 20 active sets - all of them in print. There are 4 sets running low and 2 in last chance. I checked Wayback Machine from last year. On January 6, 2017 - they had 35 active sets. 2 sets were in last chance and 3 sets were running low.  Looks to me that if they are planning on staying in business - which from all appearances they are - with 2 new sets shipping very soon - they appear to be trying to reduce on hand inventory to reduce costs. My guess is that they will consider: Continue to allow the number of active sets decrease by slowing the pace of new sets. For new sets, carefully control the on hand inventory by having less sets printed initially For re-pressings, they will take a long look at sales and sales projections before doing any re-pressings. This will dramatically reduce the storage space required for on hand inventory which will lower costs associated with leasing space. Hell - does anyone know how big Michael Cuscuna's basement is? He seems to be selling stuff on Ebay all the time Look at in-sourcing the shipping to further reduce overhead Consider subscription service to guarantee access to sets Look at more LP sets, though they once again appear to be phasing them out. At least those are some of the things I'd be looking at if I wanted to stay in business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Sorry, that was me. I edited my post. Because of a private message from a member here I was unsure if Mosaic wanted the list publicly published, and the last thing I would want to do is act outside of their desire. They are my absolute favorite record label as I'm sure they are for a lot of people on this board. J.A.W. posted the link with the available products a few posts up and I know from previous posts he is very careful not to put out anything Mosaic doesn't want released. So hopefully no harm no foul.

What's unusual is that Mosaic's E-mail from yesterday specifically mentions, " We are in the process of sorting out and assembling a number of Mosaic collectibles (no lists are yet compiled or available)." It would seem that they are only sending out a list to people who ask and live too far away to be able to attend the open house sale in CT. If they wanted a list published, I think that they'd have published it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjzee Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 There is an eBay seller named 78scott who is selling mint Mosaics with very low set #s. Â The item location for these sets is Rye, NY.

gmonahan Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 I'm betting it's Scott Wenzel. Rye, NY is pretty close to Stamford. Good sets at good prices. Somebody should snap 'em up!   gregmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
