Yep. I think VSS is my next sleeve purchase though when I need a re-up. I love Sleeve City but their backorders have been taking forever for me and VSS gets great reviews.

I just need to find something that those damn impulse gatefolds don’t shred. I abandoned sleeve city a while ago. Let me know what you think if you do.

VSS is about to make some new sizes I think to specifically fit stuff like the BN Tone Poets, MoFi gatefolds, etc. I'll let you know if/when I order but might not be for a little bit. I'm finishing up with my Clear Bags order probably in the next month or so and then will order some new ones. Hopefully the new VSS ones are in stock by then.

I use these for the large gatefolds.
OVERSIZED 4 mil 13 inch LP Vinyl Record Outer Sleeves - Crystal Clear CPP-25 Sleeves to a Pack
Buy this size for Tone Poets, Analogue Pro, Acoustic Sounds/Verve Series and the such, if they fall into the measurements below. Most Mofi One Steps will not fit! Spec size is 333mm x 333 mm, or 13" x 13", with a tolerance of +/- 2 to 3mm or 1/8" Remember the thickness of the album will take up...

Did they give any clues as to what NEWLAND03 might be?

I didn't ask. But hopefully we will find out soon. They are pretty responsive on IG.

Disappointed in the cost of the New Land titles. They are similar to the BN Classics but pricier with very limited distro. But at almost $50CDN before shipping they are just too pricey. Oh well, saves me some $$$

They are a small label so hopefully as they get more popular, they can up their distribution and prices can come down a little. BN and Craft have the ability to charge less because they have economies of scale and don't have to pay licensing costs while having built-in distribution. I thought the Gerry Mulligan release was fantastic and a really nice quality. Definitely pricey though, especially with shipping to Canada I'm sure. They worked out to be about $45 shipped for me when I ordered the pair.

Interestingly, someone on hoffman is saying that the Blow Up runouts match the From The Original Master Tapes series runouts. I'll be very curious to see what's going on with these!

It's very nice. But the vinyl cost over here in Europe leaves a lot to be desired - it's om a par with the Tone Poets.

Wouldn't be surprised if it's the same, or similar, here, sadly.
For now I'm just streaming through all the new releases I downloaded to my phone for my day cruising around on an orderpicker and auditing a warehouse!
The new EABS is quite awesome as well!

Quite a while back I stumbled down a rabbit hole that connected British Jazz to the US in a really random but interesting (to me) way. I managed to complete the puzzle by acquiring the record that tied it all together this week so I thought I would share the story with you guys.
During the '60's British jazz was in its golden era. As with the US scene, it very much relied on the collaboration of musicians and with the British scene being quite small the same names tended to pop up time and time again. One such musician was the Ghanaian percussionist Guy Warren. Warren appeared on albums such as The Don Rendell/Ian Carr Quintet's "Change Is" and was a regular side-man in live groups performing in London. During this time he clearly impressed Denis Preston, an incredibly important producer responsible for the Columbia Lansdowne series, who recorded 2 albums with Warren as lead - the 1969 "Afro Jazz" and 1964 "Emergent Drums". It's worth noting that by this point Warren had already performed in the US with Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington, Max Roach, etc.
It's his "Emergent Drums" album that is the final piece of the puzzle to quite an interesting connection. Last year I bought some contact sheets of a drummer that turned out to be Guy Warren. The sheets were from the studio of David Redfern (think of any legendary act and the chances are Redfern produced their most iconic photo - from the Beatles, to Hendrix, to Miles Davis, to Marvin Gaye....) and I recognised the session as being Warren's 1964 "Emergent Drums". These contact prints were unused photos from the session and a real find in their own right.
Now, this is quite a cool connection, but there's also something else which adds another level of intrigue. During the session and in the photo used for the final cover shot, Warren is wearing some traditional African clothing including a straw hat which I believe is called a "Fulani" hat. Can anyone think of another musician known for wearing interesting hats?.......how about Thelonious Monk! Well, as it happens Monk met Warren and the 2 became penpals, writing letters over the years and meeting up when they could. Monk was clearly interested in the traditional sounds of Africa and Warren was eager to teach him. After a notable meet up Warren gifted Monk a traditional Fulani hat, similar to the one that Warren is wearing above. According to Monk's biography he loved the gift, so much so that he wore it during studio recordings and it ultimately ended up being showcased in the photography for these sessions. The photo below is from the 1967 Blue Note compilation "The Complete Genius" and it also appears in some Black Lion releases too. Pretty cool if you ask me!

That's weird, it's definitely got a different number for Unicorn. I'm expecting Blow Up to arrive on Monday, can double check then.
