Just received this gem in an email from Amazon.com:

Count Basie - Basie
List price: $950
This product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media.

No description, no nothing. What is this?!?!?

looks like bear family, of the big expensive box sets, has mp3 files for download now. and i guess they'll burn them to a cd-r for you for a cool $950. :o) surely they mean 9.50, yeah?

they all seem to be mis-priced: http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=sr_ ... Submit.y=0

Very weird pricing indeed. I had a hunch it was a Bear release, and it is great to know they are making these hard-to-find recordings available for mp3 download.

Here's a link to the actual mp3 downloads: Basie

And while I am at it, another Bear release of some sweet Ellington: New York, March 1959
