Mosaic Records vinyl prices dropping

Hello Kubla, good to see you at Audiogon again !

I have at least 15 of the Mosaic box sets including the Miles Plugged Nickle you mentioned.

I have not kept track of prices since I have no intention of selling any of these but my perspective is current value versus original purchase price. As I recall, most of these worked out to about $10.00 per disc.

Some of those box sets were give away pricing in the day and why I purchased so many.

The other time I went on a buying binge was when Fantasy (Riverside, Pablo, Contemporary, Galaxy) was pushing CD and priced LPs at 3 for $15.00. I filled my bookshelf and still laughing today that they did that.

Thanks for remembering me, guys! I'm still lurking around on Agon but since I've been traveling for the last 7 years I don't buy anything except LPs for when I finally get home. Albert, I bought a subscription to the Music Matters LPs years ago on your recommendation just before I left the US and they all slowly arrived during my absence and remain unopened! Every month or so I take a peek at the photo of your Technics plinth and lust for the days when I can reestablish a system.

D...I really hope jazz fans aren't dying off! I actually think that sites like Pandora and Spotify might turn some younger people into fans since it's free to listen now.

Some of those sealed titles such as Horace Parlan "Speakin' My Piece" has skyrocketed in price already. I think it's up to $200.00 or so. Nice return on your investment while you were traveling.

Thanks for the comments on the plinth. I'm pushing John to get back on building them again now that he's getting caught up on custom furniture and door projects.
