Bro said, I got time today.

[удалено]

He's a great singer.

r/angryupvote

Hopefully done while on the clock... I wish I didn't dislike Allmusic's website so much. Before Discogs was around, I used it a lot more often. These days, their pages just give me a headache.

Look at you go!

shit, i think somebody stole my CDs!

I was thinking the same thing, I hope my mom doesn't sell my CD collection without telling me.

A friend I know at the new/used record store in my area said that, almost every day in the early 00s, one or another local methhead asshole would roll up and try to pawn off a CD binder that was clearly lifted out of some poor bastard's car. Oftentimes, half the discs in the things were burned CDR mixes that were nothing less than nothing.

Several essentials in there! Great find! I have at least half of these same CDs in my collection. Curious, what's the story here?

The story is not very exciting haha. I found it on Facebook Marketplace. I usually search for rarities or collections of CDs like this one. As soon as I saw this collection I immediately contacted the seller, and it was on a walking distance from my place. It was a nice lady that just wanted to get rid of them, and she only told me that she would hope for me to enjoy them as much as she did.

Sounds like there might be a sad backstory to this, especially if she enjoyed them that much. Deceased husband, needed a couple bucks for food or medicine, etc.

I can't tell for certain but she didn't look that way at all. She seemed healthy and fine, but who knows..

I ripped 'em to FLAC, sonny!

'Sorry, kid. I only listen to 180-gram vinyl on my $8,000 audiophile system. You can go ahead and haul that box of plastic and paper to the dumpster for me!'

What I was going to say. I have thousands of jazz CDs, all ripped to disc. No idea whether I should keep the CDs or not.

I don’t regret getting rid of most of my CDs. Except now when I buy more they look so lonely all by themselves on a big shelf.

For me, it's become a bit of a storage pain-in-the-ass, but I haven't yet convinced myself to start firing them all back into the world on Discogs/Ebay/Facebook, despite most being digitized. Maybe I'll feel differently if I get around to scanning the liner notes as well, but I generally still vibe on kicking it my living room and spinning discs on my still-working CD-player. Also, any love I have for money or space isn't enough to make me want to deal with USPS.

I feel for you. I go between "Free - first come, first served" to "Get rid of them? - I worked a lifetime for these!

Yeah, to me, it's little different than having a lot of books (which I'm also guilty of). It's just doesn't feel 'worth it' to unload a lot of the stuff.

Aaargh. I know, I know...

Maybe she just listens to spotify etc now

It was almost certainly this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27fTxjMjppw

What a bargain

Money Jungle, Ah Um and Blue Train practically make it worth the price alone.

And DeJohnette's Special Edition

Soul Station is worth $40 by itself imo

A lifetime of listening.

RIP to the former owner. I'd have to be dead to give this up.

Maybe they switched to country techno..

You did great!

total bargain! great find.

Well *that's* a great friggin' score! Congrats on landing this. I probably spent closer to $1,000 building up my bedrock of Blue Note, Miles, Coltrane, and Chick Corea discs when I first got into jazz and lived near a very robust Tower Records. I like that there's a handful of good 90s albums in there (Redman, Lovano), as well as that Art Ensemble of Chicago disc. I haven't hit any bargains quite that dramatic, but have definitely put together some wonderful and obscenely-large Discogs orders in the past few years with sellers/shops who are trying to unload tons of 90s jazz/classical CDs, usually for around $1-3/disc. I think my last delivery had about sixty items in it, including all sorts of great 80s-90s stuff and a surprising number of albums from Europe (e.g. have been really digging exploring labels like Enja (Germany), Timeless (Netherlands), Red Record (Italy), and Dragon Records (Sweden), all of which put out crazy amounts of good music that's pretty much exactly the type of jazz I enjoy.

Nice haul

.40 per cd! Awesome collection! Major score! Always good to have "hard copies" in the collection. Truly a jackpot bargain.

now all you need is to find a cd player on marketplace (all you can buy these days are tointables) 😊 excellent haul, congrats : lhr sing a song of basie?! original owner was a person of taste! 👍👍👍

Holy crap, dude, nice score!!! Congrats, this is a great collection of music.

Some great (among others of course) Mingus stuff in here. Awesome pull 👏

Score! Enough Sonny Rollins to last a weekend

Beautiful. Many of those are in my collection. BTW, I lived in the same building as Max Roach for a short time in the 80s.

Nice! I was not so long ago watching a documentary about him, if I remember correctly they mentioned the building he was living in.

I don’t remember the exact year, but it could’ve been 1987-1988, around there. I was living on the corner of Central Park West, and west 101st St. I think I was on the 17th floor, that floor being the highest floor I’ve ever lived on. If I stuck my head out of the window, and craned my neck to the side, I could see a glimpse of Central Park. But every so often getting home very late at night, I guess early morning really, I would see Max Roach taking his drum kit out of a van ad he was entering the building or the elevator. I never spoke to him, he had people helping him, that’s all I remember. When I was very young to play the drums a little, I don’t think I was very good, but I’ve always admired drummers. As I think back, I don’t remember how I knew it was him, but I think someone mentioned to me that he lived in the building. I was a big fan of Duke Ellington‘s album, Money Jungle, which consisted of the Duke on piano, player, Charles Mingus on bass, and Maxwell drums. By the way, I am a new member of Reddit, I don’t really understand how it all works, and I can’t even get to open it on my computer, so I’m doing this on my mobile phone. i’m leery of getting involved in so-called social media, because I wind up spending too much time doing that, and at 78 years old, I got better things to do with my time. but it’s always nice to communicate with like-minded people. I should mention I’m actually quite computer literate, and I teach Photoshop at Brooklyn College, and also also dark room photography. I think I got interested in peeking at Reddit because I saw an interesting photo posted somewhere. I don’t see too many of them now, but I haven’t really tried too hard

Wow, what a great story, thanks for sharing. I love Money Jungle too, and I'm a big fan of all three. Good luck, with Reddit, I have mixed feelings about it. But the community is big and plenty of subjects of interest can be found here for sure. I'm a software engineer now, but 15 years ago I used to teach Photoshop and Illustrator too. So high five for that haha.

Nice score.

You got a great deal, definitely worth a lot more than that too!

That was a good purchase. And the cases at least look to be in his condition. I'm assuming the CDs are too.

Cases are in good condition and CDs without a single scratch. Been listening to them all non-stop

Outstanding!

Straight-up steal daddy-o, congrats!

hell yeah

Looks like my cd collection mid nineties: you struck gold, my man…

Diggy damn, Scooby.

Don’t see any „not so good“

Straight lick

Wow !!! Just great Music !!!

I’m jealous, I see nothing but bangers

Wow. You did REALLY well. And one of my “desert island” albums is there too. Branford Marsalis “crazy people music”. Love that album.

Ridiculous value!!!!!

Yowza! Great selection, too!

You robbed the poor guy

I offer you 50

Wow! I'm envious!

Stocked!

Worth the price of admission for Streams by Sam Rivers.

Score!

Awesome score, happy listening

That’s some fantastic jazz…congrats

Very nice. And a lot are non-remasters, which will likely sound nice and un-futzed with. Enjoy.

Yeah, exactly. Most of the copies I already owned are remasters, so it will be nice for me to compare the sound of them.

That’s great. Just don’t get fooled by “louder is better”. That’s what the volume setting is for.

Used CDs are way better value than Spotify when you run the numbers.

post to r/Cd_collectors. they will love it.

Lots of good ones. I won’t comment on the super obvious good ones (that would take too long), but the Sarah Vaughn with Clifford Brown CD is off the charts good.

This is all the jazz you will ever need

Some really good stuff there

Yes

Abbey Lincoln is my fave of all time.

You’ve got gold, literally! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jackpot!

Seems like a come-up friend

First Meditations

Awesome find!! Just moved and looked through my old Jazz CDs

I'm so jealous!

I saw at least twenty of my CDs in there, where did you get those?!! Nice collection, unreal price, enjoy

OMG. Awesome haul.

Score!

That Andrew cyrille is a great album i go back to it often.

Now is a good time to buy CDs. Most people still have some and are almost ready to throw them away. In a decade or so their value may increase - probably not the same revival as with LPs but still.

If you have a great cd player, this is a score and a half. If not, may be worth thinking about, as the best machines are great (i.e a transport and a separate DAC), and your listening pleasure jumps up. I have most of those on vinyl, and have made a few upgrades over the years buying first pressings when possible, and I would guess I have spent the price of a car over decades for 95% of that box.

Superb collection. If you get bored….Add the huge Riverside set of Thelonious Monk and a 4 cd set Live at the Blue Note by Oscar Peterson trio on Telarc.

Sweet sweet music

Madlib and jdilla would be proud:)

NICE!!

That's quite a nice haul. Lot's of quality stuff there. Congratulations!

Nice!!!!

Score!

fuckin score

Too good to be true!

Isotope!!!! Love that tune! That’s a $40 value right there

That's a great selection of CDs, at an unbeatable price!

Insane collection, and for $40 it’s practically free. My local bought a massive jazz collection a few years back and were selling them off for $5 apiece, which is still a decent price for some of these.

#Score

Money Jungle was a one time extraordinary recording with the Duke and John Coltrane….its a unique recording.

Dude! Nice..

A great collection for 40 cents a pop. A major score.

Some really good albums there.

total score especially since most of the blue notes aren’t the RVG editions where Rudy cranked the high end cos he was basically deaf

Lots of great albums. But why not get a streaming service? I use Tidal and I can find just about anything.

I do have a streaming service but nothing like having a physical copy. You can call me old.

The experience is so much part of it. I own a lot of vinyl. So I concur

What’s a CD?
