Has this been confirmed by Blue Note (or anyone?)

It certainly seems true re: Classics, but I've never seen anything definitive about Tone Poets (hence some of the CRAZY prices for currently OOS titles).

I mean, with the sheer amount of titles, the current pressing plant delays, and the high demand for these, it'd be really hard to keep them ALL in stock, all the time. They're re-pressing a few of them now, I believe Roots and Herbs is coming soon, and like you said the classics seem to be high priority. They may very well be trying to keep all of them in print currently.

I believe it has been on the Hoffman forums. My understanding is that the Classics/Tone Poets were intended to be "catalog" titles and readily available. I remember reading that everyone was pleasantly surprised with the popularity of the TP series. So everything will be back eventually. The crazy OOS prices are what they are, even Mofis that can be ordered on MD for list price when they're back in stock go for crazy prices. The 2nd hand market is nuts right now across the board.

I "believe" its more a general statement than everything is in the process of eventually being repressed now. Seeing BN do not have their own pressing facility (just the power of Don Was) they are at the mercy of the pressing plants like everyone else. I can confirm Roots and Herbs has a "repress date" of 1/14/22 but things can always change to. Saying that it would be great to get represses of ones everyone has missed first time, just hope they do enough and get those discogs prices down. Some of the previous represses have been small numbers and only gone to a few shops and not widely out only to sell out quickly again.

Tone Poets are definitely not limited, they will be available again, Joe Harley has said as much a few times, but yeah could be a while with back up at RTI and Stroughton.

Grant Green's 'Feelin’ The Spirit' is such a fantastic album. All made up of great spirituals.

It’s almost a relief knowing I’ll only want a few of those.
