bebopbob Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Does anyone know where I can purchase Bill Charlap's Venus CDs for less than $30-40/per disc as advertised on amazon.com? Does Mr. Charlap sell his Venus recordings at shows and concerts or over an internet site? Why are Venus recordings not made available to American jazz fans at a reasonable price?

robviti Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 (edited) Early Records sells his Venus discs for 2500 Yen (around $23.40). Shipping is quite reasonable, I hear. As to the question why these recordings are so expensive in the the U.S., what Japanese imports do you know that are reasonably priced here? The least expensive I've seen are the JRVGs Dusty Groove sells for $27. Of course, these discs aren't cheap in Japan either.

J.A.W. Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 (edited) Unless direct import from Japan is not an option for you, I'm pretty sure Hiroshi Tanno will be able to get them for you at a reasonable price: hiroshi@earlyrecords.com. His shipping rates are not nearly as high as the rates other Japanese stores are charging and his service is great. He takes PayPal. Edit: hadn't seen Jazzshrink's post above when I posted this. Sorry! Edited March 24, 2004 by J.A.W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim R Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 (edited) Cadence (NY) sells Venus CD's for $20. http://216.73.15.27/cgi-bin/FMPro?-DB=Cade...nd=Begin+Search Edited March 24, 2004 by Jim R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim R Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 BTW, Charlap appears on those Phil Woods discs that came up in the search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzmessenger Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Cadence (NY) sells Venus CD's for $20. Wow, that's really good price for Venus discs. I usually pick up Venus discs when they are in Red Trumpet sales section for $15 or less, but $20 isn't bad at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlhoots Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 $19 each if you're a Cadence subscriber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Very good prices....but $6 shipping for one disc seems a bit much (was there a price hike?) That said, I loved the Wyands Trio 'Lady of he Lavender Mist' that I picked up last time 'round. That's one to nab. Back to Charlap....has anyone seen 'Written in the Stars' in mini-lp format? I'd like that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlhoots Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 (edited) Yeah, but it's also $6 total shipping for up to 5 CDs, $7 for up to 10, $8 for up to 20. Edited March 24, 2004 by jlhoots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
