Just bought "Search For The New Land" by Lee Morgan and "Judgment! "by Andrew Hill on MM from a facebook seller for $80 total, so hoping they arrive safely and in good condition! Two albums I have been looking for for quite a long time.

Damn, I am so incredibly jealous. Been trying to score a nice press of that Morgan album all year. Might just jump on the MM listing, but man the thought of $85 shipped is already killing me.

EDIT - these new taxes, at least here in Minnesota, on discogs are killing me too.

Almost didn't message the guy because there were no prices listed and I figured the prices would be crazy but was pleasantly surprised that the prices were really good/fair. Sadly, a lot of other people got to the listing before I did so most of what he had available was gone.

And yea--I keep forgetting about taxes on ebay and discogs now and they add quite a bit to the prices especially on stuff like MM.

I'm a little perplex about the November Tone Poets. Throughout 2019 the BN-TP releases have been available for presale at LEAST a month - and sometimes longer - prior to the release date.

Mobley's Poppin' and Turrentine's Comin' Your Way aren't coming up anywhere for presale. And release date is Nov. 15.

Hmmm 🤔

There was some issue with the photos that has caused a delay. They were even recently deleted from the 2019 Tone Poet list on Blue Note's site.

If I’m not mistaken, those aren’t coming out until January now and there will be no more Tone Poets coming out the rest of the year.

Edit: I have absolutely no idea where I read that info either and can not find it now. Maybe I dreamed it? I do hope both titles see a release here shortly though.

Blue Note Tone Poet Remasters “A Religious Revelation” Says Joe Harley

Praised by label president Don Was for having “cracked the Blue Note code”, Joe Harley’s ‘Tone Poet’ vinyl remasters are essential listening.
www.google.com www.google.com
 
A couple of Japanese pressings rolled in today
Lee Morgan's Indeed - his first recording as a band leader in 1957, this is a Toshiba pressing from 1990
103d26da-ab02-438f-812e-e6353d2d6c7d.jpg

And Tina Brooks' Back to the Tracks - recorded in 1960 and then it sat in the vaults. Was part of the Mosaic boxset in 1985. This is a Japanese promo copy (2nd pic has Not For Sale printed on the back) from 1990. It was sent out to retailers and reviewers and then withdrawn for some reason. I think it was officially released on vinyl in 1999.

Amazing pick ups right there! That Tina Brooks has been on my want list for ages now, cant believe they waited that long to release it. I bet the Japanese pressing sounds great!

Morgan's output in the late '50s was insane. He recorded with Hank Mobley's quintet for Savoy the day after recording Indeed!, and it was rebranded as a Morgan session before its release because they knew they would sell more from the up and coming youngster.

I think Joe said on a FB group I'm in that it's because of the photos that they delayed these until the 2020 Tone Poet run, but also there is a guy on the Hoffman thread that says the same.
