Third Man Records and
Blue Note Records are proud to announce the
313 Series Partnership, showcasing five Detroit-themed albums from the Blue Note catalog specially chosen for re-release by Blue Note Records President – and Detroiter –
Don Was. The 313 Series Partnership will include such classic Blue Note titles as
Thad Jones Detroit-New York Junction (1956),
Donald Byrd Electric Byrd (1970),
Elvin Jones Genesis (1971), a first-ever vinyl reissue of
Kenny Cox and The Contemporary Jazz Quintet Multidirection (1969) and a first-ever vinyl release of
Grant Green Live at Club Mozambique (1971). All five 180g vinyl releases in the Third Man-Blue Note 313 Series are newly remastered from the original tapes at Third Man’s Detroit mastering and pressing facility, where sound and mastering engineer Warren Defever and the Third Man team worked to ensure the closest possible approximation of the magic found on the original masters. Exclusive limited-edition color variants will be available via
Third Man,
Blue Note, and indie record stores, with 313 copies available per variant.
