Woody Herman set on last chance

[miles65]

Just got an e-mail from Mosaic stating that the Woody Herman set is on last chance. It bypassed the running low status.

This was fast. It is one of the most recent sets to get issued.

Yes but only 2.000 copies not 5.000 or 7.500 as in olden days.

[Dub Modal]

Did they even press 2000 I wonder? Wasn't this one on the new model of quasi-press on demand? Probably the best SQ of this material available is what I've read.

I have the set and am really enjoying it.  I remember that they needed a pre-book of a certain number of sets - 700 - before they would even move forward. Personally, I did not mind that concept and if it is needed to move other borderline sets forward, I'm good with that.  Sound is great and there are plenty of vocals that I really like.  There are a few novelty songs, but not enough to make me avoid listening to it.  Like many of the Mosaic sets from this era, it helps to take my mind off things...

I've listened to the whole set once, and several discs twice. It's a good set!
