Bremen set showed up at my door an hour ago via Amazon Prime.  Listening now.  Music and sound both utterly outstanding!

Waiting for mine to arrive.

Man, oh man, I do NOT think I can resist.  "Seventh Avenue" and "Love Dance" are both big favorites.

And I'm not sure, but is this the first ever live version of "Teotihuacan" that's been issued so far?  Not a tune title that I remember seeing that much on any of the various live Woody CDs' I have (and I have practically all of them).

Just checked, much lower price on importcds ($14.04 + $2.98 shipping vs. $19.98).  I'll likely end up cancelling my Amazon pre-order.

[jazzbo]

Go ahead. I'll stick with mine.

[jlhoots]

Importcds is being very competitive these days. Maybe they always have been, & I just noticed.

[T.D.]

I once ordered frequently from importcds, but now avoid them. On one order I was shipped the wrong item, and the return / refund process was an absolutely ridiculous hassle which I decline to risk repeating.

They have gotten more competitive.  I noticed I was buying from them frequently on ebay.  Their direct website often has different pricing than their prices on ebay, in both directions.

My experieces with them have been good, and I have bought many hundreds of CD's from them.

[jazzbo]

My experiences have been slightly mixed, enough that I won't use them to save a few dollars only. And the amazon price may be even lower by the time it's released, and I'll get it on release day. Works for me.

What I tend to do is leave my Amazon pre-order in place, and not pre-order from Importcds, and watch the price on Amazon close to the release date and make a decision which way to go.  

[jlhoots]

I've ordered often from Import on Amazon  & never had a problem (other than that I don't like DHL).  Never have had something not show up or the wrong item arrive.

I recently did my first order directly from them. The first item shipped immediately. The 2nd item is a preorder. We'll see how it goes.

Their pre-orders don't get there the day of release, like Amazon, but they arrive within a few days.

Are Bremen and Basel one CD or two?

Bremen (if that's just the quartet only, and I think it is) is definitely 2cd's ~ 100 minutes total (I've had a burn of that one for 15 years, and it's stunning).

I'm pretty sure Basel is 2cd's too (iirc), and much longer than it is on LP (just 1 LP). I don't have it yet, so can't confirm personally. But that's my recall from the links up above. LP is barely 4 tunes, iirc. CD is like 8 tunes (half of them really long), and 2cd's (again, iirc).

[bertrand]

Ah, so there is no one-CD vs. Two-CD option. It is just the L.P. that is shorter.

Yup unfortanately that is the case. Got the Live in Bremen Lp for my birthday and was so happy with it until I found out I missed half the concert...
