Brad Posted February 10, 2019 Report Posted February 10, 2019 The price on Amazon US is now $48. Quote
Dmitry Posted February 14, 2019 Report Posted February 14, 2019 One cd-worth wasn't enough? Or even a 2-cd set? Just curious what would prompt this encyclopedia-sized undertaking. Quote

Brad Posted February 14, 2019 Report Posted February 14, 2019 I’ve listened to the first two CDs and it gets a big from me. Quote
Sandman Posted February 14, 2019 Report Posted February 14, 2019 I agree with Brad--just listened to CD2 last night and I'm really enjoying this one. Quote

I've listened to the whole thing twice and there's not one piece here I would have rejected. Quote

GA Russell Posted February 17, 2019 Report Posted February 17, 2019 I received an email today saying that my ETA has been changed from Feb. 15 to April 12! Quote
sidewinder Posted February 17, 2019 Report Posted February 17, 2019 and the Amazon UK price has gone up to about £70 ! Quote
mikeweil Posted February 17, 2019 Report Posted February 17, 2019 So they noticed they goofed. Glad they'll have to sell it to me at the old price. Quote
Brad Posted February 17, 2019 Report Posted February 17, 2019 I wonder if it was a mistake or a way to get some people to buy it and create some “buzz” and then once there was some interest, raise the price. Quote

Expand That's plausible, Brad, but I read an article about cars in the Wall St. Journal two weeks ago that I think is relevant. The middle class is shrinking. Sales of sedans have collapsed. Coincidence? I think not. I believe that the sales of box sets have never returned to their 2007 eBay price levels. (Felser might know!) It could be that not enough people have enough disposable income for 6-CD box sets. With a smaller middle class, I suspect that price point has become as important as value.

jcam_44 Posted February 17, 2019 Report Posted February 17, 2019 Who knows, It appears the reduced price was only on Amazon so I'm inclined to believe some algorithm caused it to drop unbeknownst to Sunnyside whom I would assume have a wholesale price for orders. Quote
djcavanagh Posted February 18, 2019 Report Posted February 18, 2019 The download (both 16-bit and 24-bit lossless) is very reasonably priced on 7digital. This is the UK link - here is the US link for onkyomusic. Quote

The set is digitally available in lossless files on bandcamp for 4 times the price of onkyomusic. Quote
2scoops Posted February 21, 2019 Report Posted February 21, 2019 I received an email from Amazon UK earlier today telling me that the delivery date on my bargain price set (£13) has been brought forward, now due between 25th and 28th February. The current price has dropped from the previous high to around £19, if anyone is still interested. Quote
king ubu Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 Finally got a shipping noitice ... looking foward a lot to exploring the set! Quote
Utevsky Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 This set is a great accomplishment. The arrangements are tight and fresh. They don't wander or digress. The group is "true" to the original recordings without aping Monk's style. Scott Robinson is a marvelous presence on several instruments (one at a time). And you can't do better than Rufus Reid and Billy Drummond. I especially get a kick from hearing the Monk tunes that hardly anyone has ever recorded. Quote
sidewinder Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 Mine just landed in the mail. Quote
