There aren't any real duds, which makes this another subscription I may have to sign up for. I hope they take a page from Music Matters' playbook and do the same kind of gatefolds. That will make them even more worth the premium price.

I wish they would offer gold disc versions.

They are supposed to come out in hybrid SACD as well as LP.

supposed to

With my luck, I'll opt out of the vinyl and they'll blow through that, then announce there will be no version in disc format.

I say supposed to because the promised Blue Note SACDs have not yet arrived.

Yeah they promised end of Nov when I signed up grr!

sombitches

and I see that Acoustic Sounds is doing another set of 25 Blue Note titles. This is ridiculous, I'm going to have to start delivering pizzas at night or something.

It's impossible to keep up. I need to stop buying gear and start buying more music. 2009 no gear, more music!

hank mobley - dippin'

duke jordan - flight to jordan

kenny burrell - on view at the five spot cafe

jimmy smith - back at the chicken shack

hank mobley - no room for squares

jackie mclean - new soil

ike quebec - blue & sentimental

hank mobley - peckin' time

lee morgan - the sidewinder

lou donaldson - sunny side up

lou donaldson - the time is right

stanley turrentine - up at minton's vol. 1

Nice

For my tastes, it slightly edges out the Impulse 25...

[ValleyGirlVoice] Uh, sha! [/ValleyGirlVoice]

Actually, it is in the catalog but I cannot find it online. Here are a few titles from somebody at Hoffman:

Hank Mobley-Workout

Lee Morgan-The Sidewinder

Herbie Hancock-Maiden Voyage

Lou donaldson-Sunny Side Up

Oops. PJ beat me too it in complete fashion. Great list, but cannot replace my joy over the Impulse! titles.

i'm enjoying watching your sig pic there morph, al.

The Acoustic Sounds catalog says the Miles Davis Quintet albums are also being done on Analogue Productions.

Dippin' and Back At The Chicken Shack = win

It's impossible to keep up. I need to stop buying gear and start buying more music. 2009 no gear, more music!

heh, I'm contemplating the opposite, to a lesser degree.

a much lesser degree.

ok, both.

Looks like the Bill Evans Fantasy 45s are also getting reissued in a box set, despite the protests from the collectors that don't want their sealed copies of "Waltz for Debby" to be devalued from the current inflated market prices

I didn't dig into that issue, but I think the Miles Davis stuff may be in that mix as well. That is actually great for me because I missed the first round of Fantasy 45s and that stuff was already sold out.

There are also more Blue Notes coming from Music Matters beyond the original 64 titles. Check it out.

yeah i'll be getting the davis and evans boxes. good stuff.

:o:o:o

Good for me, but thats fucked up for collectors.

The people that keep records sealed are making it more expensive for people that actually listen to them.

Did I read that correctly, that none of them are going to start shipping until January, including the first set?

FTFY

Since they are all pre-orders, and since acoustic sounds sucks when it comes to release dates, I'll wait until its actually in stock and on sale.

This is one thing I really love about Apple. They completely hide a product, having everybody scrabbling onto every leak they can, building hype, and then bam, when they announce it they release it. fans go crazy and just throw their money in the air like quagmire at the strip club.
