Not releasing Sonic Boom as a separate release? Hm.

Fortunately. Sonic Boom isn't a long lost sleeper great record. It's a miss. David Newman isn't on top form and in any event was an experiment that didn't work - hence the recording being rejected.

However, the 45rpm BN branded record adapter - a 0.4 cent bonus - seems fairly essential.

BTW, I do have the King pressing of Sonic Boom. It hasn't been off the shelf in about 15 years, so maybe I should give it another chance.

Or, maybe not.

not sure about that first statement....artwork is subjective, but SQ is very good on the LT series which by default are all AAA albums, although I do not own Sonic Boom, but if that one is not great maybe its the tape or an off day for Rudy...any one have the Japanese GXF/GXK press of this as it would be the same tape...

It is subjective but I feel confident in saying that most people would see any of the LT series artwork as lesser when put alongside the earlier BN releases from Reid Miles. I've copied the Sonic Boom image below. Not exactly awe inspiring.

Just to reiterate, I didn't say that the sound quality is bad, just that it doesn't stand out as being something of note. At least to me on my system. I'm fortunate enough to have original pressings of almost all of Morgan's albums and did a deep dive a few years back, listening to each one in order. By the time I got to the LT releases I had already listened to all of the great Van Gelder releases so I guess there was always going to be an ever so slight drop. Regardless, I think its a decent album for them to be giving a proper treatment too, and if they do work some magic, all the better for us!

This Thad Jones classic sounds so freaking good. Such a pretty and easy one to listen to.

Love a lot of the Thad Jones stuff. I need to pick that up, I have Japanese press that sounds good, but suspect the KPG classic is stellar

what's the best place in the UK to get sales on the Blue Note Tone Poets....any ideas? @Selaws ? @AndySlash

Generally speaking they are expensive in the UK. If anyone has any sales tips I’d be interested.

I tend to get the TPs from Deep Discount when they have a 15% discount offer on. If you buy 4 or 5 titles at once can work out quite cheap as long as you don’t go over £135. The shipping to the Uk is reasonable.

Brick and mortar stores in my experience don’t tend to sell them for less than £35 a piece. Often much more.
