Ohhhh I've been listening to Soul Junction on a heavy repeat these last few weeks. Red's delicate, intricate, bluesy runs are gripping. Been meaning to ask for some more recommendations, I will check this out.

I love All Mornin' Long. That side long title track is bluesy AF and just an absolute banger.

I was just saying that to describe which of the 3 options I went for.

Its a great point though and obviously just a buzz word to get people to buy out of FOMO. I've seen 'Strictly Limited' to 10,000 before which is just a joke :ROFLMAO:

Edit: I dont actually think they are that popular BTW. I would imagine the majority of their fanbase is in London, and only a small fraction of that would actually buy records, yet alone 'limited edition' versions.

Edit Edit: Also worth mentioning that the 'Limited Edition' (£21.99) is actually cheaper than the standard black (£23.99) and the non-limited crystal clear (£26.99)

Interesting...in the U.S. the orange limited edition is significantly more ($32.99) than the indie or standard black ($26.99). I would order from the U.K. store but the shipping costs wipe out any potential savings.
 
Miles Davis - Rubberband
Miles-Davis-Rubberband_Cover-Art-e1560431320749.jpg


Recorded in October 1985 following Miles split from Columbia Records, the album marked another radical shift in direction for the trumpet player, enlisting musicians from across the funk and soul spectrum like vocalists Al Jarreau and Chaka Khan.

Originally produced by Randy Hall and Zane Giles, and engineered by Reggie Dozier, brother of Motown legend Lamont Dozier, Rubberband was finished off by Davis’ nephew Vince Wilburn Jr., who also played on the initial sessions.

Release date: 6th September

Have you read much of this? I have read quite a few Blue Note books, and finished 'As Serious As Your Life' by Val Wilmer a few weeks ago, so im on the lookout for a new jazz related book to read.

p.s. that cover is fantastic!

Got any recommendations for Blue Note reads? Looking for something introductory to start out with.

Seeing as im on the topic, have Blue Note books been discussed on here at any point? I've read quite a few jazz books which touch on Blue Note, and also some specific biographies of the label which have been good. If anyone is interested the ones that come to mind are:
Blue Note: Uncompromising Expression (2014) - A coffee table book with fantastic photos, history, reviews, anecdotes etc.
Blue Note Records: The Biography - Richard Cook (2004) - A thorough history of the label, with detailed reference to specific albums.
The Cover Art of Blue Note Records Vol.1 & Vol.2 (1991 & 1997) - More focus on the artwork, with a handful of essays throughout the books.

There's a few that touch on Blue Note but arent specifically written to highlight the label. For example:
As serious as your life - Val Wilmer (1977) - Jazz in general but Blue Note is mentioned quite a few times (not one to read if you want specific Blue Note information).
Miles: The Autobiography -Miles Davis & Quincy Troupe - Again, this only touched on Blue Note in relation to the albums Miles recorded for the label.

The book I really want to get my hands on (but I cant seem to find it anywhere for a reasonable price here in the UK) is Blue Note Records by Frederick Cohen. Im sure most of you are familiar with it, its a guide for identifying original presses and generally gets fantastic reviews online.
