The top Japanese collectors seek regular copies and avoid promo copies whenever possible. I do the same.

I was gonna throw down but things went quite a bit north of what I was willing to pay. Shoulda bought the copy Academy had a few years ago!

I think that is all.

There was Jazz more widespread on the radio back then, Chi-town had at least 4 such stations as I recall(dimly).
Later I purchased collections in Chi-town and Detroit from former djs and families of former djs and again there were such stamped Blue Notes,
For what it’s worth.

I think it is indisputable that BN used a stamp for records and covers that were intended for Review.
This is because they did not like some of the bigger labels have a specific Promo-label. Otherwise that would have been interesting right?;-)

But anyway regarding a lot of these Review Copies showing up from this particular seller can of course be discussed. Why?, is the most obvious question I think. Did the guy collect only review stamp Blue Notes? Did he buy them all from another seller at once? Carefully collected over the years? etc etc. And are they Legit? That meaning that the stamps – were put there by a BNWorker at the time the record were made?

Someone thought that they were looking a bit different font-wise that other stamps and maybe the color was off by a little bit? Can’t remember. I myself think the Sonny Clark looked a little bit “off”.

I have one Lexington Review copy that I’ve had for a while. Bought locally. It is most surely legit.

What do yoy think guys?

It is strange that recently ‘review copies’ are showing up, whereas in the past I never crossed one. I always thought it was not Blue Note’s policy.

I’m sure many of you have seen far more review copies of original Blue Notes than I, but it did strike me as the kind of thing that could easily be applied later, and I wondered if there was any consistency in how BN marked their review copies.
