    J-Jazz (Japanese Jazz)

    nice pickup, he's a nice man and in Japan holding items is fairly common, so that tracks he allows it to save on shipping, I should go out and see him, its been a long time - its a great session, peak Japanese vinyl quality, of a style I particularly like...hope you enjoy it I also see he's got...

    ideally this makes prices go down on new releases or at least move them to discount quicker..and does illuminate why BN is trying to create a 1 to 1 relationship now...

    The Blue Note Thread

    im only half kidding...its just too much product and its all too annoyingly socialized..and for me the juice isn't the music, I have more vinyl than I can ever listen to including 100s of blue note sides and I have Spotify where a robot farts out a killer weekly playlist of music that most times...

    yes, they clearly didn't listen to my advice given nearly 4 years ago....this will fail, no one is locking up $ prepaying for titles that will come out eventually and will be discounted across channels.

    I posted this at the other forum TP subscription...only took 3.5 years to do it...and prices have gone WAAY up... if you don't want to click I also mentioned this a bit ago...I know the TP's are killing it with wide distribution but BN wouldn't piss off their channels to do an in-house...

    J-Jazz (Japanese Jazz)

    not sure everyone is aware but Sony did a reissue of some of the Columbia project re:vinyl stuff for record store day here last weekend - they have been promoting these as from tape (but not necessarily AAA, if someone knows...) and even did a some dj sets using the master tape (at least that...

    picked up the two latest Project Re:Vinyl reissues today, Maki and Formation (too lazy for links, you guys all know).... YES! these are both instant buys, finally Ogawa-san has removed himself from the nonsense free/noise train and put out two stone classic sides. these are cut HOT af, but...

    J-Jazz (Japanese Jazz)

    its mostly free jazz...the Miyazawa record is a "classic" - these are never seen in original form, but easy pass for me... have to say other than TBMs (because so many worthwhile sessions haven't seen the light in a long time and need to be reissued) there really are very few essential...

    not sure about that first statement....artwork is subjective, but SQ is very good on the LT series which by default are all AAA albums, although I do not own Sonic Boom, but if that one is not great maybe its the tape or an off day for Rudy...any one have the Japanese GXF/GXK press of this as it...

    +1 while my VPI is back the states and my guru is here in Japan, the thing rules....and while I can see the 'benefit' of using the VPI and scrubbing records before the ultrasonic, the diminishing returns are real unless you're way, uh, inclined for absolutely cleanliness....
