T.D. Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Thanks, guys. I'd be shocked if complete copies of those Selects survived four days of the open house sale, but I will inquire to Scott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Since we're discussing Selects, they also had the slipcases for many of the Selects, not just the Selects for which they had discs. Since they're flat they should be easy to ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I e-mailed the Mosaic info address. Both MC and Scott kindly and quickly (esp. considering they likely thought it a dumbass inquiry ) replied. There was only one copy of each Select (Tolliver, Rivers big bands), and they sold. I expected as much, so did not ask whether they were complete sets. Edited March 26, 2018 by T.D.

CJ Shearn Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) Is the Woody Shaw Muse set gone? I didn't get any emails/alerts that it's gone but I'd assume since it was backordered a while ago maybe it'd be scarce.

sidewinder Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 I think there was a copy for sale in the Open House - not sure if it was full or partial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 I’m thinking it was full but wouldn’t swear to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 I always wondered how the partial sets were produced, manufacturers, error, returns of defective parts? I remember 20 years ago when I got the Mobley set I requested a new disc 6 to swap out a badly damaged one, and they were so prompt, but I always wondered how a proliferation of partial sets occurred.

Brad Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 That could be the answer as perhaps they only make enough cds to fill a set. On the other hand, they may also make extra sets because in the normal course there will be a certain amount of spoilage. When i was there I saw groups of cds marked as disc 1, disc 3, etc. for particular sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the labels will license the material used for Mosaic sets for streeaming and such.

It has indeed been discussed before. Mosaic's licenses are for CD reissues only, they aren't allowed by the licensing labels to sell downloads or stream sets. Edited March 27, 2018 by J.A.W.

CJ Shearn Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Interesting... so did Spotify obtain the Bobby Hutcherson Select illegally? I regret selling that years ago b/c I never played it much. I always liked Spotify for streaming new music but never as a substitute for serious listening. I found many things, as are Amazon's AutoRip some things are badly encoded (Keith Jarrett "Testament" for example, the piano sounds wavy like a badly encoded 90's MP3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were called The Capital Vault Series and were all owned by Capital/Emi. Wow I just looked them up. There are 16 of them and they include some larger boxes. Prices are all over the place. $11.99 for the Dexter Select, $89.99 for the Bobby Hackett. Edited March 28, 2018 by medjuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I remember that Capitol Vault Series series line. $89.99 for a download? Crazy. No thanks, give me the full package any day. Downloads, I have Blakey's "Mosaic", from HDTracks sounds great, but the $17.98 without a PDF of the liners or anything was a bit too much.

No, they aren't. But Spotify don't put anything up for streaming by themselves, legally or illegaly. They are just a distribution channel. It's the owners of the rights to this material that have done that. As we know, Mosaic don't have the rights to online digital distribution. Spotify always indicates the names of the labels/distributors. For these sets, they are given as "Capitol Records, LLC" or "The Verve Music Group, a division of UMG Recordings Inc".

Brad Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 I don’t think that answers the question. If people are listening to the music or paying to listen to it, isn’t the copyright holder is losing a sale. The person who puts it on there is a licensee not the owner. I will need to look into the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel A Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) I thought Capitol *are* the owner and Mosaic a licensee. And they (Capitol) are getting paid for each stream. I might be paying a flat monthly rate to listen, but a percentage of the total revenue is administered back to the owner, based on the number of total plays. That wasn't perhaps what you were after, but anyway. Edited March 28, 2018 by Daniel A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dolan Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 No. In the case of Spotify, they are paying the labels for the right to stream their music. They pay a hefty fee up front, and then a fee for each time a track is listened to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel A Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) Ok, that's good to know! But I suppose the point is that it's not done without the knowledge or cooperation of the label (i.e. a distribution channel they are opting in to).

Scott Dolan Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 No, absolutely not. That would essentially be pirating. If Spotify did that they would end up taking a dirt nap(ster). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
