Thanks for the info Michel. I wonder why they would have pressed such a limited number of these LP’s back then… (Ahhhhh the mysteries of collecting Blue Notes !)

Don Lucky. Here’s a quote from a recent Ebay auction :
“The Holy Grail of Jazz collectors, 1568 was pressed in a very limited number. 500 total LP’s were made on one run only. The first 200 used the NY 23 label on side two, the rest were the 47 W 63rd NY. All of them were the deep groove, and all of them came from the same run.”

Dear friend,

First of all, congrats. for this blog, and second, excuse me for my bad english.

I would like to make you a simple question about sound quality on blue note record editions, cause I want to beguin my BN vinyl collection.

Have the same quality the Lex. Avenue, 64 street, and NY editions?

Liberty and UA editions have a lower quality?

Any suggestions about how beguin my collection, where find the records…?

Many thank’s,

Marmarosa.SPAIN

Does anyone know if there is a back story behind why that Hank Mobley LP is so rare ?
