What a list! Was really hoping for some more modern titles like an Ambrose repress...or some Transition titles...but there are some great records in here I'll definitely pick up.

Currently working my way down the list to see what I’ll grab. One Flight Up is spectacular so far. Only familiar with Dexter Gordon’s GO! Going to have fun listening to these over the next week

You GOTTA get that Joe Pass. I feel like we have talked about it before.

 

[mdmost]

I'd be shocked if Blue Note doesn't have some more Chet Bakers out when the Craft reissues come out next month.

I was sad to see I’ll have to wait until September to get it on the deck . I can only imagine how glorious it will sound. Excited to check out the Grant Green as well, I haven’t been able to stop spinning my Sunday morning copy since it’s arrived

@AnthonyI --saw your post a few pages back. Please do not spend $100+ on Chet Baker Sings. It will be back in print eventually. There's no way BN leaves all that money on the table and doesn't do a repress. It was one of the more popular TPs. They have already said these won't go OOP, but it just might take awhile for it to go back in print especially with all these titles coming out.

Ya, that seemed to be the general consensus so we'll wait.........I'm monitoring AP's listing for any change in status

 

[Andy]

Looks like a great list. There will be some new listens for me. Dexter Gordon & Andrew Hill put back until May. A bit of a shame, I have these on pre-oder at a great price, but those will be cancelled.

When's the Classic list coming out

When's the Classic list coming out

You mean the rest of this year? I'd like to know this as well as there's a Sonny Rollins Volume 2 that I've been holding off on getting from Analogue Productions. The Classics seems to have followed a lot of what APput out as 45 rpm records and what Music Matters put out on the SRX line.

Mike has a good point, I see Sidewinder is scheduled for June reprint now.

I was really hoping to see Street of Dreams on that TP list, but perhaps it will make the 80th or I might try the 75th for the hell of it.

Also hoping we see Horace Parlan and The Three Sounds soon.

Anyone else preorder Somethin' Else ?, so looking forward to the Intro Autumn Leaves on my table in a few weeks.

TX @mdmost for the tip on Face to Face, funny I did not get the BN email this week for it. Still with shipping at tax it's still over $36,

 

[JohnnyCashFan]

You GOTTA get that Joe Pass. I feel like we have talked about it before.

Having a original copy of Katanga is a real treat, you will all enjoy having a good clean copy of that one available!

Curtis Amy is also the solo saxophonist on the Doors Sullivan "Touch Me" tv preformance

I pre-ordered the BN Classics Somethin' Else. Interested to see how it stacks up against my Analogue Productions 2xLP @ 45rpm pressing.

I have heard the older version (Ricker originally did I think), the dynamic range is sublime.

Do you know which version?

I have the De Agostini Jazz at 33 1/3 version but plan on double dipping on this one so I can compare them

 

[JohnnyCashFan]

Do you know which version?

ahh , yes, my bad, the Analog Classics ver OOP. I'm hopeful for the 80th though, lets see.

I'm way too lazy to get up four times to change/listen to a record in full.

Let us know.

I truly love that DeAgostini series. I know better pressings exist of their releases, but for some of the ones I have, I'm more than happy to have those as my main copies and don't feel the need to upgrade.

Yeah, I have a handful that all sound great...for some reason my copy of Somethin' Else has a cover that looks like it was photocopied at a Kinko's backroom in 1997 so at the very least I can upgrade that. But agreed, I probably won't double dip with all of them, just going to start with this one and see the difference.
