And thanks to Mattyman and his friend Mike for a most welcome “Christmas Gift” – a personal copy of 1568.

Every home should have one. You know it makes sense.

And thanks for the thanks. Its a pleasure, for those that love Jazz.

London Calling’s efforts with the spreadsheet are most certainly a fabulous and unique gift that money can’t buy! So thank you London Calling!! 🙂

Last but not least I want to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! -Mattyman 😀

London Calling:

I just downloaded your file – this may be the best Christmas present I get this year! I was thinking of doing something exactly like this from the data given above…. thanks very much to everyone and happy holidays.

On to Prestige and others!

In the (unlikely event) of any further interest Ive put up a screen cap of Version 2 Guide to BN 1st Pressings incorporating the collective wisdom of Jazz Collector contributors

Its so much smarter than my first humble effort, so hats in the air and high fives for the Jazz Collector

I see the topics moved on to Prestige, of which I have few and know less, so I’ll be learning again. I just remember the famed quote – “Whats the difference between Blue Note and Prestige?Two days rehearsal”

Search was just “blue note XXXX” or in the case of the Miles Davis 1501, I wanted to see if changing it to “blue note 1501 lex” got a better set of data, which I think it did.

Sorry for the formatting. The first number is the catalog number.
