-sigh-

What's the price point?

My early guess would be $65 to $75.

Well, guys, I'm excited! Here's hoping to another cduniverse price screw-up. If that doesn't happen, it'll probably be only six or so months after it comes out before it's on yourmusic.com.

Yeah this should be really good. I love the On The Corner stuff.

Sept. 18th










BABY!

P.S. You will notice I don't mention the year....this is Sony and a Miles Davis boxset, after all.

Party begins now, baby!

Well....there will be no Part Deux for you Grasshoppas in terms of cduniverse screwing up again.

If yourmusic still gets these sets....I suggest waiting or hope a used one turns up sometime in the soon.

If anyone's interested, JazzLoft has this on sale for preorders at $99.99 (MSRP is $140), which is nice, although I'd say it's fairly likely that yourmusic will have it six months or so after it comes out, and I'll be waiting for that, myself. CD Universe apparently also has it for $105.
