Blimey, that’s £50 an LP in a box that will likely arrived damaged!
PS I’ve got half of them.
A Tone Poet Box Set that has been rumoured for sometime seems to now be confirmed for a December release:
Ornette Coleman - 'Round Trip' 6 LP's. Priced on this site below at 299 Euros:

Similar Price to the Lee Morgan Lighthouse Vinyl Box Set. Although I have some of the contents and it is expensive if it's not delayed I might persuade someone to make it my 'Christmas Box' Set.
I have half of them, but would like better pressings. I also would love to have a good pressing of New and Old Gospel with him alongside Jackie McLean.It’s nice to see OC get the treatment, but when I heard rumour about this I was hoping for a complete Golden Circle set. I too have all the set, from Van Gelder original to Connoisseurs, but I’m still tempted.
The good news is that Where Is Brooklyn?, which I don’t have and isn’t in the set, is slated for 2022/2023 - or so it has been rumoured.
Im finding that as well - it took a couple of plays.First listen to The All Seeing Eye and I just didn’t get it.
Playing it now for the 2nd time and it makes perfect sense. I regularly have similar experiences like this with Mingus.
This weeks Japanese Blue Note purchases include a sleeve design by Andy Warhol and sleeve notes that mention Butlin’s in Filey. Seriously.
Tremendous thanks for that. The one I got today was Johnny Griffin/The Congregation.An interesting blog on Warhol (and Warhol-related) sleeve art. Click on an album image to read.

Ricky,Tremendous thanks for that. The one I got today was Johnny Griffin/The Congregation.
Thanks poco, yeah I have that BN80 Introducing. Will check out the others.Ricky,
I really like Johnny Griffin and al three of his on Blue Note are worth having if you don't have them already. I have 'The Congregation' and 'A Blowing Session' (also known as Vol. 2, but no Vol. 1 for some reason?) in early 1980s pressings and Introducing that is a BN80. Some of his later stuff on other labels is good as well. I particularly like 'You Leave Me Breathless ' ( live in Copenhagen in 1967) that is on Black Lion and can be found quite cheaply.
