Comments on: A Tale of Two Blue Notes https://jazzcollector.com/blue-note/a-tale-of-two-blue-notes-4/ For those who love jazz Thu, 18 Apr 2013 10:34:17 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Tony https://jazzcollector.com/blue-note/a-tale-of-two-blue-notes-4/comment-page-2/#comment-286022 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 10:34:17 +0000 http://jazzcollector.com/?p=4798#comment-286022 Music Matters 45 RPM re-issues

I am a big fan of these re-issues. Every one I own (now counting over 70) is better sounding that the original Blue Notes in my experience. And the covers are to die for! So much so that I have been selling off my originals and replacing them with the MM 45s.

If you like collecting originals for the hobby then good, but if its sound quality you are after the re-issues have it won.

I had a $100 Amazone(sicop)gift card for the birthday from me mum! Acoustic Sounds sells on the site. They were out of the TRUE BLUE. I did buy CLASSIC RECORD pressings of: FREDDIE HUBBARD – OPEN SESAME / LEE MORGAN – VOL 3 & DIZZY REECE – SOUNDIN’ OFF. Man! They sound great! So many thanks!
EARL – I owned a few MOSAIC tiles but they sounded digital to me? I’m not a technical expert on all things pressed so school me please?
THANKS!

For one reason : the guy did nor remove the record and cover out of plastic sleeve to take picture. Probably because the record has a fresh looking cover. Moreover, He took picture only of elements that should make someone think that it is an original.

It comes up on eBay reasonably often at about $100-150 I think. I’ve always believed that the Mosaic reproductions are pretty much unbeatable. Any thoughts on this?

On Ebay you can find the Classic Records version in mint condition in the +/- $35 range. Sealed $50 and up if you are patient. Plus there are other sources if you know where to look. When Classic Records went out of business titles sky-rocketed in price. Then came back down after a bunch of stock was “found”.

I’m sure this title will be reissued again in a 33rpm format by Acoustic Sounds at some point. QRP has been up and running for some time & their version will be even better. The 45 rpm reissues are great but there is a big demand for 33rpm. Their 33rpm Prestige reissue series is top notch in every way. They are even bringing back Clarity Vinyl & UHQR. I think it’s a safe bet good things are coming in the reissue market.

On the other hand Music Matter’s version of True Blue is running in the steady $100 range as it was limited to 2500 copies. But I’m sure mint used copies can be found for less. Audiophiles tend to buy lots of stuff (guilty), play it once and put it on the shelf. Then sell it when the next best version is released.

Oh, and I should also mention. Only certain Classic Records reissues fetch big money like the Led Zeppelin titles and Clarity Vinyl boxsets.

Both of those Tina Brooks titles from Classic Records can be owned for $35 +/-
