Interesting they're doing One Flight Up given it was one of the BN75 releases but a better version of that would be nice. I'm so happy to be done with VMP so I can take the $51 I was giving them every month and get more Tone Poets and BN80s.

Sweeeet, excited for the One Flight Up. I swear Joe Harley has a copy of my wantlist and is ticking them off one at a time.

Anyone know anything about this pressing of No Room for Squares? Found one on ebay for $25 shipped and went ahead and pulled the trigger, it seems the only other reissue is the BN 75 which doesn't have good reviews and older pressings are all pretty pricey.

Saaaame! I was about to pull the trigger on a ‘73 press a few weeks back. I will happily wait now! Now if they could only do Lee Morgan - Tom Cat. Or do a I go for the MMJ?

It may be the same release as the 2017 reissue by Rat Pack. If I zoom in on the pick on ebay it says Rat Pack on the hype sticker. But I can't find anything about them anywhere either.

I have a sneaking suspicion that is the case. I looked all over the Hoffman forums and didn't see anything about them either. I guess we will see.

Ugh. I meant to pre-order The Kicker when it was $32 CDN and now it's $51 CDN?!? Stupid Amazon. I locked in My Point of View and Prayer Meeting at least.

They yo-yo quite a bit in pre-sale, hopefully they will drop again to mid 30s before they ship so you get the lower price.

What makes you say that?
Joe said they aren't doing anything MMJ already did.

Oh, you mean specifically as Tone Poets? I didn't realize the question was limited to that, since the BN80 series has similar mastering quality and has overlapped several times.

The BN80 series is finished, I'm afraid.

You don't think they will continue it with something similar? Did they announce anything? That would be a bummer.

I think they will eventually do something (BN85 or something like that) but everything we have seen says BN80 is done after the current slate of titles.

Sure, they will run a new reissue campaign eventually, but I think it will take a while.

Obviously 80 doesn't make sense any more, I just hoped they wouldn't wait 5 years to continue doing similar quality reissues, but maybe they are simplifying to just Tone Poet.

I do remember seeing something about the label that made me not order a pressing of theirs in the past...but can’t remember if it was just a lack of info or if I found some kind of proof of it being grey market...
