Vinyl Me Please Classics

[Selaws]

This makes me hopeful for other archival stuff.

Just from Blue Note, we have:
Lee Morgan - Tom Cat
Andrew Hill - Dance With Death
Bobby Hutcherson - Patterns
Bobby Hutcherson - Medina
Larry Young - Mother Ship
Tina Brooks - Minor Move (unlikely)
Wayne Shorter - Etcetera (unlikely)

I think there's more but I'm stopping there.

Great list. As you noted, I doubt it would be the Shorter or Brooks as we have just had the Tone Poet reissues. Tom Cat also has a good 2lp MM pressing with alternative cover design as well. The others would be superb though!!

There are several excellent Blue Note releases from 1980 of sessions recorded in the 60s. Lee Morgan to name just one. Some of these titles have been part of the current Tone Poet reissues.

That thought crossed my mind as well, but considering they just did a Blue Note release in September and they double dipped with another Jazz release in November, I have doubts that January will be jazz, let alone blue note. I'm kinda hoping one of these 2 upcoming 80s classics releases is an archival release of somesort though for already-said reasons

So true. Although they are likely aware of @Joe Mac's annoyance at the amount of jazz classics this year so they might keep it going to tip him over the edge.

Free the soul, release the blues!

Early clue for March, Storf said it will be from 1982.

Not thrilled about 80s classics. That was a terrible era for soul/rb/blues/jazz. Think I might swap this month for something like Willie Bobo, or grab Essentials instead (depending on what it is)

Let the Hater's Hate. I like my Bobo record. It sounds great and has some funky jams on it.

 

[Joe Mac]

1982 you say? How about this classic!

Oh yes, this would be great. But that would be two blues(ish) albums in a row, not sure they would do that.

No doubt, I've been eyeing it in swaps but I haven't swapped anything in a while except Celia and Johnny for The Soft Bulletin.

I've not been fully following, what's coming ahead of it?

BB King - Lucille

BB King - Lucille

January and February in between. 1982 for March.

Ah, didn’t quite understand that important aspect. Thanks for the correction.

 

[Mr Moore]

Ah, didn’t quite understand and that important aspect. Thanks for the correction.

I wasn't sure either if Jan & Feb had been worked out already, lol.

Ah, my bad, RSR. Thought we were on January.

Cecil Taylor - One Too Many Salty Swift and Not Goodbye would be funny. Don't think they'd do a 3xLP or something that Free Jazz though.

Or maybe Keith Jarrett - Nude Ants. 30 minutes on one side would be a hard cut.

Got two more serious guesses:
Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson - 1980


Alberta Hunter - Amtrak Blues


Wouldn't be terribly excited about either but they would make sense.

I watched an awesome documentary on (I think) Hulu about The Roland 808 and didn’t realize this record was recorded with the 808 as the primary rhythm maker.

Gil Scott-Heron’s Shut ‘Um Down is such a jam off that album!

Yeah, there's some great stuff on there, I would just pick a different Gil Scott-Heron. I feel like I say that about a lot of VMPs picks though.

I don't know if this will actually ship, but here's a Freedom Rider vinyl listing:

Listing says 2015, so that would mean this is the European 180 gram pressing
