Alec Posted May 27, 2004 Report Posted May 27, 2004 Another one gone! Add me to the list of those who bought the Chambers/Kelly Vee Jay (I already had the Morgan/Shorter) Quote
Edward Posted May 28, 2004 Report Posted May 28, 2004 when I spoke to mosaic this past friday, they were down to less than 60 sets for each veejay. the week before the count was around 100 each. want to gamble on which day next week they will be gone? oh yeah, monday is a holiday. I placed my order this morning; Mosaic is now down to around 30-35 copies of each set. I bet that these sets will be gone by Monday June 7th at the very latest. Quote
street singer Posted May 28, 2004 Report Posted May 28, 2004 Just wanted to chime in here and say that I picked up both of these sets last week and they've since been in constant rotation. Wonderful stuff... Very glad to have them! Quote
jazzmessenger Posted May 30, 2004 Report Posted May 30, 2004 I just ordered both VJ Mosaics last night. I hope my order comes through. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 (edited) i must give myself this one Edited June 1, 2004 by Soulstation1 Quote
Soulstation1 Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 if you want the shorter/gigolo mosaic set CALL THEM NOW they still have a couple sets left, i can't miss this one 8:43 am tuesday Quote
Uncle Skid Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 I caved yesterday -- ordered the Morgan/Shorter on the internet. Got a confirmation email just a few minutes ago. Had to pass on the Kelly/Chambers; I really want the new Tal Farlow when it comes out. Oh yeah, I also want that JJ Johnson set. This time, I think I'll go with REASON #28: That darn Mosaic order button is so easy to press. (thanks, LAL!) Quote
Parkertown Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 SS1's post above made me cave in! I called 2 minutes ago and was told they had a couple left so I ordered the Morgan/Shorter. They said I should have it by the end of the week. I can now place my Blue Moon copies of Introducing & Second Genesis into my "For Sale" pile. At least I had to willpower to pass up the Kelly/Chambers set. Hopefully I won't regret it, too much. -_- Quote
Soulstation1 Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 i WILL NOT accept any responsibilty for anyone buying a mosaic set Quote
Parkertown Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 Too late, bud. There's blood all over yer hands! Quote
Soulstation1 Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 i've NEVER had blood on my hands o.j. Quote
J.A.W. Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 At least I had to willpower to pass up the Kelly/Chambers set. Hopefully I won't regret it, too much. -_- I think you will... Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 SS1 - Not O.J. were talking Vijay!!! Quote
sidewinder Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 This one must be (with the exception of the Stuff Smith set I guess ) the fastest Mosaic OOP disappearing act in history. I'm sure glad I picked up on Rooster Ties' post (grateful thanks to him for that). Quote
wesbed Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 When you compare how long the T/K/M and New Orleans Jazz Mosaics hung in Last Chance, it's very surprising how fast the Vee Jay Mosaics went to OOP. Were the Vee Jays in Last Chance for a month? Maybe less? Quote
Parkertown Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 Got my confirmation email, too! Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!! Quote

wesbed Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 With Mosaic caught by surprise, maybe the VeeJay sets were set to time out at midnight, May 31? This is an interesting thought that is quite plausible. I hadn't considered it. Quote
John Tapscott Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 With Mosaic caught by surprise, maybe the VeeJay sets were set to time out at midnight, May 31? This is an interesting thought that is quite plausible. I hadn't considered it. It's possible, but if it's that's the case, it would mean that Mosaic still has some sets left in the warehouse. What ae they going to do with them - destroy them? I don't think so. My understanding is that the time out basically puts a limit on the pressing date, ie. no more sets can be made past a particular date. In the case, of the Vee-Jays, that date came a couple of months ago, much to eveyone's (including Mosaic's) surprise. But they were allowed to sell the sets they still had on hand as of that date. Glad I got one of them. Quote

I, too, believe this explanation to be more realistic and practical. It would make no sense for Mosaic to have manufactured sets that cannot be sold. Still, I'm surprised how fast Mosaic was able to sell the remaining Vee Jay sets. I never believed the Vee Jays would prove so popular in light of all the alternate takes. Quote

I never believed the Vee Jays would prove so popular in light of all the alternate takes. Well, I'm a bit surprised, too, but to call them "popular" is stretching it a bit. My Kelly/Chambers, ordeed 2 weeks ago is #1,795 of 5,000. At most they sold 1,850. Someone posted that Mosaic had expected to do one more pressing even after the Vee-Jays passed into the "running low" category, but then were unexpectedly told "no." So my guess is that they just didn't have that many sets on hand when the word came down. Quote
JSngry Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 It's the alternate takes that I wanted! TWO Morgan/Shorter sets left now... Quote
