Yazz Ahmed has been signed to Night Time Stories and her 2018 "La Saboteuse", 2019 "Polyhymnia" AND debut 2011 "Finding My Way Home" albums are being reissued.

The "Finding My Way Home" release is the first time its been on vinyl.

Even more impressive is the pricing. I put an order in for "Finding My Way Home" and it was £23.99 with £3.50 postage which seemed really reasonable in this day and age.

The bundle price for the 3 is crazy affordable as well at £70 and comes out at £14 per record (3 albums, 5lps).

I bought her previous albums at the time of release and they were crazy expensive (although they were limited, coloured, textured gatefolds, etc)

Weren't those press not the best ones? Packaging was great.
 
Yeah, they didn’t sound the best, the packaging was top shelf but the vinyl was sub par for me, hope the folks that get these new ones get a nice sounding album. I was just listening to La Saboteuse in the car yesterday!
Exactly as @kafunis said, great package sub-par vinyl. I lucked out with a decent-ish sounding copy but I know others had issues.

Let's hope they do better then. I have both and wouldn't mind to replace them if better sounding reissues come.
 
where was this from?
I've lost the link now but Bill Beyea on the Blue Note facebook group, hes worked with them on various projects before. There's a "sign-up for further information" with the title as it has the image above as its background image and I guess it was taken from that.

He's just shared it on his Instagram too and its going wild haha
 
I love Lee Morgan recordings! Will be on the lookout.
Im looking forward to seeing what's included. I've been trying to complete my Lee Morgan collection for a wile and only have one of the LT series to finish it off, so likely I will have at least 1 album they include here UNLESS they pull it out of the bag with some unreleased material!

Edit: Turns out that Best Buy in the US is taking pre-orders for Volume 3 at $200.
Interesting, previously it was only available through their “Review” site. I had my copy of Vol 2 shipped over. Interesting to see if any UK suppliers will stock it.
 
There's a super ugly building in Portland, ME being renovated for retail and what not. I've gone by it a billion times. Today I learned that it was a concert venue way back when (Ricker Gardens). Looking up some of the performers there: Frank SInatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Artie Shaw, Glen Miller....absolutely insane history form a building that I always just thought was some ugly 80s office park.
 
Just saw this pop-up being decorated, if you’re in the CityPoint/Barbican area @Selaws might be something you’d like.

Nice! I was planning on visiting it if I had the chance. Tony was the person that put Universal in contact with me for the British jazz bits they were looking for, so will be nice to see him.

I wonder if this is incorporating/replacing the Blue Note pop up thats usually at the Coal Drops Yard?

Definitely incorporating, not sure if there will be another one at the other location too.
