I just spoke with Mole Jazz and they will be receiving a repressing of disc 2 in the next 10 days or so. If you have already received a box set from them, call them in 10 days or so to ensure you get your replacement disc. from the US, phone # is 011-44-20-7278-8623.

Hello:
The reason I am writing is that I have discovered a major mistake on my box set and wanted to warn others about this mistake. I have already asked several others that I know that have received their boxes as well and all 3 have confirmed the same thing with their box.
Disc 2 & 7 are the exact same tracks in the new boxes even though they have different titles on the CD's.
Their titles are:
Disc 2: Peduncle (The Support of an Inflorescence)
Disc 7: Tellurian (Pertaining to Earth or its Inhabitants)
They are both labeled correctly according to the liner notes and back of each disc holder but they are the exact same track. I have no idea, which is the mistake since this is my first time hearing these tracks. They are either both "Peduncle (The Support of an Inflorescence)" or both "Tellurian (Pertaining to Earth or its Inhabitants)"
By exact tracks, I mean the same one not two different versions or takes of the same track.
I appear to have been the first to discover this mistake since I was one of the first to get his box. I discovered this mistake only last night July 7th, 2002. It's taken a couple days to make it through this set. It was because I always put the title of the CD and track listings in my CD player that I discovered the mistake. When I went to put in the seventh CD to listen to it for the first time, up poped the title for the 2nd CD and its track title.
At first I though I had put in the wrong disc but I checked it was the 7th since each disc has the disc # and title on it. Then I checked and listened to several different parts of each Disc and they both are exact and both discs are the same exact length.
I have sent an email to Mole Jazz about this mistake but anyone that has dealt with Mole Jazz knows they are slow to respond. I would have called but at the time I discovered the mistake it was 10pm local time for Mole Jazz and they where closed. By the time they open again it is 2am my local time in Los Angeles.
I have posted my warnings on the JazzCorner and Blue Note BBS' once I got confirmation from others. Someone that read my warning on the Blue Note Board called Mole Jazz and got this reply:
"I've just phoned Mole AGAIN (!) and brought this matter to their attention. They were not aware of the problem but they promised to call the manufacturer immediately and investigate. (They wondered why no one else had brought this to their attention. I suggested that, as it is a TEN DISK SET, which was just recently issued, it would take a bit of time for it to be discovered.) ("... fairly disastrous" was the descriptor used by Mole.) Mole advised that it would be up to the manufacturer to right the problem.
I also suggested that Mole post some information either HERE or at the Jazz Corner and NOT leave us in the dark. We'll see how that goes."
I am asking anyone that has the box to check to see if they have the same problem. If you discover you box also has this screw up please contact Mole Jazz to let them know!!!! The more of us let Mole Jazz know about this the better chance we will have of getting the correct Disc!!!
I want to make it very clear that the music that is on the 9 discs is excellent and there is no problem with the music itself. The mistake is that they pressed 2 discs with the exact same track.
Thank You,
Mnytime
