This is a cool one. Been pushing for them to do more Toussaint. They are looking into Southern Nights too as future ROTM

this would be an instant buy. the last time I found an original of this in the wild was 2005 and grading it F would have been generous

yep. i've been requesting it for them for a year or two and storf mentioned a few weeks ago that they wanna do it and are looking into it. so fingers crossed! even the crappy 4MWB reissue goes for pretty big money last i looked.
Definitely excited about The Bright Mississippi. The album has a who’s who of New Orleans musicians playing some beautiful music. It also has great sound and imaging (I’ve used this as a demo disc and to audition new speakers). Really looking forward to what RKS can do with this one.The Bright Mississippi

Not too many AAA albums recorded in 2008. This album is fairly new.
My understanding is that this is a digital master.

Yeah it came out in 09, still a bummer.

I'm sure it is. Doesn't make sense that they wouldn't go to the tapes otherwise. It's just the kind of album where the difference would be more noticeable.
Still sounds great on Tidal Max stream.

Yep, this is a beautiful LP. Highly recommended for anyone who loves Toussaint and/or New Orleans music and/or Marc Ribot and/or life in general.The Bright Mississippi

I have an OG or I might bite on this, but damn their prices!

The Nonesuch selection has been quite idiosyncratic. None of the 4 made my jaw drop, and all felt pretty ho-hum in the sense that their catalogue is pretty deep and would have a lot of titles that I would have hoped for instead

I doubt they had the pick of the litter. I’m in for the Toussaint but that’s it so far.

A 30% or 40% sale that includes preorders might make short work of it. Otherwise I can’t imagine any of these doing huge numbers before release.
