The Blue Note Thread

[McGlam]

My Top 5 would be:

Lee Morgan - Cornbread
Wayne Shorter - Etcetera
Babyface Willette - Face to Face
Grant Green - Born to be Blue
Herbie Hancock - My Point of View

But they're all excellent. I have 20 Tone Poets and the only one I think is good, not great, is The Prisoner.

The Prisoner is one that I let go. I liked it but i needed to clear some space. I already kinda regret it. One of the only ones I’ve never heard is the Babyface Willette. Need to remedy that.

Paul Chambers - Bass on Top
Baby Face Willette - Face to Face
Lee Morgan - Cornbread
Kenny Burrell - Introducing
Hank Mobley - Poppin'

I don't know if this is everywhere, but I got a notification from Amazon.IT about a delay to the Lee Morgan box

Lee Morgan "The Complete Live at the Lighthouse (12 lp box) (12 LP)"
Expected delivery date: 23 September 2021

Baby Face Willette is still available on Walmart.com:

Robot or human?

I had the same (Amazon Italy). Might just be an Amazon issue over a general one as I haven't read of a delay elsewhere.

If you do not mind Amz, its a really good deal right now, $25 & free prime shipping. I think I will throw this on the deals thread as well.

Well, as I noted on another thread, I have it in my grubby hands right now. At least in North America, it has already been shipped to stores for release next Friday.

Not really. 12 LPs! It's gonna be awhile. The records look like RTI - perfect, and I spun a bit of the first side, sounds a-ma-zing.

If you are buying from a store, drive, don't public transit or bike. It is HEAVY.

Nice bit of gouging if they do sell them at $90 each, since last time they were in the store they probably sold them form $50

That's ridiculous. They sold SRX titles for less.

Solid would be nice, but nothing I can't live without. I "might" splurge on a Parlan or Johhny C if they come out or something interesting.

Two of those should be Blue Note Classics in the next year, Tunisia and Inner Urge, if I had to guess.

Waiting, not so patiently, for this one. Ever since leaving it sit in my cart until it was too late, it's been a constant regret.......and the Cogs prices just make it worse.

i'm pretty shocked at the prices for Chet and Nigeria (and a few others) on discogs. I keep seeing them sell for $100+ each. I think I paid $17 for it from one of the Target sales.

I'm going to email BN about represses and see if I get a non formulated response from anyone. Someone here said they had a line on Nigeria but I have not seen it anywhere ?

I have seen The Real McCoy out there again in a few places recently, but please do not sell out until I can grab one hehe
