It's recently gone out of production on SACD, though it's still widely available in redbook format. It's worth chasing down in the SACD format if you're a fan...the last time I was at Wadia they were using it for demonstrations. One of the best sounding SACD's I've heard, though limitations of the source tape will be evident.
Ouch, $75 on Amazon. How much better is the SACD over the CD?

The idea behind the thread is to alert people of albums going out of print while they are still available at a reasonable price. It doesn't do folks much good to know about it after all the remaining stocks are snapped up and what's left is being sold for a king's ransom.

I thought so too until I discovered that the same title is listed twice on Amazon.com (which happens from time to time).

In case anyone might be interested Mosaic Records has placed the 3 CD Select Set of Grachan Moncur III on its last chance list which usually means it will sell out in the next 60 days or less. These are limited run sets and once they are sold out they're gone.

While Moncur is not a particularly well known jazz trombonist, he was a proponent of free jazz and made a couple of very interesting albums for Blue Note in the early 1960s with a great roster of musicians: Lee Morgan, Jackie McLean, and Bobby Hutcherson...just to name a few. Blue Note was not especially known for its avant garde recordings, so it's something of a rarity.

I doubt the guy running Best Buy is going to be of any help, there. As such, I think this is a good sticky.

Here is something interesting for jazz fans. Newbury Comics has a ton of out of print OJC reissues that they are selling dirt cheap on Amazon.com. Over the last few weeks I bought about 40 titles that ranged in price from $3.99 to $6.99 -- all of them were new and still sealed in shrink wrap.

There are a few catches. First is that buying through the Amazon marketplace means you will pay $2.95 standard shipping for every single CD. There is no consolidated shipping. Second, you will spend a lot of time doing advanced searches on the OJC label to dig up all of these out of print titles.

You cannot get them from the Newbury Comics website. These titles are only listed in the Amazon.com marketplace.

Still, it is worth it for jazz lovers. Some of these titles have been out of print for years.

Mosaic Records has put the Columbia Small Group Swing Sessions (1953-1962) 8 CD boxed set on its last chance list, which means it is expected to sell out within the next couple of weeks.

I have this set and recommended it to anyone who likes 1950s small group jazz. Ruby Braff, Buck Clayton, Illinios Jacquet, Harry "Sweets" Edison, and Ben Webster figure prominently in this set.

Here is a rare last chance from Mosaic Records:

The Complete Blue Note Horace Parlan Sessions

This boxed set has been out of print for over a year. Mosaic found a small number of sets in the warehouse. They won't last long so if you like Horace Parlan then I suggest you get it while you can.

A number of titles have been deleted from Fantasy's "Original Blues Classics" series. Opportunists are starting to seek very high prices but if you search around copies are still available as low priced cutouts or remaining store stock at their regular mid-price.

I find so much of the vinyl I listen to, is only released in limited editions of either 100,200 or 500 vinyls. This seems to be one way in which artists can limit their budgets to affordable as well as develop a loyal following.

Marissa Nadler's LPs are insanely priced for any of her earlier stuff: 'little Hels' is going to go the same out of print way too. In contrast, her CDs are always cheap and bountiful. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's "Howl" sells for around US$200 for the double LP limited edition set and just about everything Grant Lee Buffalo adds a zero to the end of the price tag and anything Red House Painters/Mark Kozelek is just plain unaffordable after release whereas PJ Harvey early release LP prices are just stratospheric

My guess is that vinyl + limited edition production = out of print/deleted very quickly! This is a great sales model for many small bands and artists, especially indie artists. We do see pop bands like U2 doing the same thing on vinyl, but their quantities make it generally harder to attain, except by the most severe collector nutcases.

Sure, they haven't been released yet. Not even sure if they'll even get released, but the upcoming Japan Universal Music stereo single-layer SACDs will go out-of-print quick if indeed they're released.
