Ken Dryden Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 I stumbled across a copy offered of the Verve Elite Edition 3 CD set of Lee Konitz Motion here: https://www.decluttr.com/us/store/products/motion-e2e7af8c-c927-40d6-a353-7b2324adc6dc I already own a copy and recommend it!

Chuck Nessa Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 Someone should grab this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 Tried to add it to my cart, and it says it’s already gone — despite the main page saying 1 copy is available. Alas, I tried to be that someone — but some someone done already grabbed it (maybe eons ago, for all we know?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 A friend hooked me up with burns of this set about 6 months ago, until I could find a real one that wouldn’t break the bank. Not in a huge rush, but if anyone has any more leads for something under $40, that’d be awesome. Thx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Dryden Posted October 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 Sometimes you can check back in a few days and the item mysteriously reappears. I've had that happen a few times on Decluttr. You have to watch them, their inspection process sometimes leaves a lot to be desired...

clifford_thornton Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 Yeah, I need this too -- have the LP and rips of the extra tracks, but would like it all on CD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 Even when it was in print, I recall it being tricky to track down a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 I actually sold this 3 CD set a long time ago. I found myself playing the released stuff and stopping when I got to the bonus material. I wasn't much of a fan of the extra tracks without Elvin Jones, especially the partial tracks at the beginning of disc 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't much of a fan of the extra tracks without Elvin Jones, especially the partial tracks at the beginning of disc 2. I've only spun the whole thing (the burns I have) about 3-4 times -- and I had a similar experience with the bonus CD's the first time I put them on. But then the next time through, I was a lot more positive about them (very specifically remember that). 3rd and 4th times I'm not sure if I remember anything specific about them (pro or con). So I guess the jury's still a little bit out for me, and I would likely give the entire thing a few more spins before I dropped more than $35 on one. That said, I still am on the lookout for one.

colinmce Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 Inspired me to pull my copy out and take a run through the whole thing. No qualms here about the extra material, I could go all day with this stuff. Pretty incredible that something like this was able to be released to the mass market at one point in time.

Same here - not sure about all 3CDs as I have some Mosaics arriving but will give some of it a spin for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster_Ties Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 A used copy of the 3cd expanded version just sold on Dusty Groove — less than a hour after it was listed online — for $60. More than I want to pay, but I guess if it sold that fast, then I suppose it’s priced right with what the market will bear. https://www.dustygroove.com/item/487024 Not sure what I already said upthread, but I’d be happy if I ever found one for $40, give or take $5.

Chuck Nessa Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) Desert island stuff for me. I bought the original while I was a senior in High School.

FWIW, the set is offered at $60 + $4.99 domestic US shipping on discogs, so that DG price is consistent.

(Based on a limited sample. 😄) Ok, found it — proof(?) that DG at least consults Discogs… Why the hell does DG have this priced at $25??!! https://www.dustygroove.com/item/725406 When it seems to sell for a HELL of a lot less than that based on this Discogs listing history (and I just bought one in St. Louis for $6 several months ago)… https://www.discogs.com/release/11711204-Sal-Nistico-Live Last Sold:Nov 9, 2022 Lowest:$4.35 Median:$8.69 Highest:$9.95 Well, because the very same (exact) release with a SLIGHTLY different cover (same label though) has THIS pricing history on Discogs… https://www.discogs.com/release/23264072-Sal-Nistico-Live Last Sold: Never Lowest:-- Median:-- Highest:-- OK, not quite the “smoking gun” I was remembering — but, still, I can so easily see their pricing worker-bee looking up the one without ANY sales history, and figuring “hell, I guess it’s pretty rare, let’s try $25” — without realizing there was an entirely separate entity (which does NOT have the same root ‘master’ record — so they look like different releases on Discogs, but they’re exactly the same). At least that’s the entirety plausible story I saw unfold in my head, as I was puzzling over why the heck I’d just found one for $6, and here DG’s trying to get $25 for one.

T.D. Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) That Nistico CD example is bizarre, because even freakin' eBay 🤔 has the Just Jazz release much cheaper than DG's price. Maybe your theory is right. Edited January 25, 2023 by T.D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 I also was bummed I missed that Konitz set. I have a rip of the tracks, as well as the original Verve LP, but would love to have a copy of the full banana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
