I can tell myself now that I won't get My Point of View since I already own a good pressing, but I am not confident that it won't end up happening anyway.

Same here. I think I’ll buy it for the packaging alone though haha!

I wonder how Money Jungle will sound though. The OG is surprisingly pretty terrible. Someone on here said the late 80’s reissue is the best.

I almost spent a whole bunch of money on The Cooker a few weeks ago. Then I forgot about it and it sold to someone else. Really glad about that haha.

Can’t wait to spin these, emailed about refunding the shipping. Absolute steal for these prices. Wish the 75 sounded better because those would be comically low

I know Tina Brooks "The Waiting Game" has never had a vinyl issue before. Are there other titles on the TP list that are first times on vinyl?

The Lonnie Smith title wasn’t released on vinyl and it looks like the John Scofield and Pat Metheny title was only issued in South Korea (2014). I think all of the others have been released previously.

RE: Foreign Intrigue. Probably my least favourite of Tony’s 80’s albums with the unfortunate inclusion of electronic drums which really dates the recording, strange choice seeing as he has 3 or 4 other great albums to chose from, Angel Street or Native Heart or the Tokyo Live would have been so good ! That said other than the e drums it’s a really good album.

For those of you who use Apple Music, here is a playlist for the 2020 TP list (except the Scofield / Metheney album)

From a while back, but thanks for the Ethiopian Knights recommendation. Fantastic album and the BN80 master is phenomenal.
So yeah, my uDiscover Black Friday order came. In addition to Ethiopian Knights I also got:
Herbie Hancock - Inventions & Dimensions BN80
Eric Dolphy - Out to Lunch! BN75
Donald Byrd - Chant BN Tone Poet
Not bad for about $60. Although man, the quality is night and day between BN75 and BN80/Tone Poet.

Glad you liked Ethiopian Knights. That Herbie record is real nice as well.

Bobby Hutcherson-The Kicker as well, was recorded n 63 but not released till 1999 another one that Michael Cuscuna put together for the Connoisseur Series.
I also need to get more BN80 and Tone Poets, the 2020 TP list is awesome. But the prices here in Europe are quite high, delivered to Austria/Germany. We don't have like the 30% on the Blue Note store or 20% Udiscover... I mean, Hank Mobley' Poppin for 20$, the cheapest presale I could find is 37€. I just ordered Tina Brooks - Minor Move for 38€....but it's a must-have...
Does anybody know where to get those cheaper in Austria/Germany? Or any discount code? Dodax maybe is only 1-2€ cheaper on most releases I've checked....

You can order from Blue Note UK Store, they have (had?) the same 30% discount but with shipping it may be quite the same as the retail price. I bought most the TP on Dodax.nl, .de and .fr. They have a few at 21,99€ like, surprisingly, Cassandra Wilson. Prices goes up and down almost every day so I suggest to check one or twice a day. Amazon.fr had a few others for sale during Black Friday but it came back to (a)normal prices. Amazon.de may have another 3x2 deal at some time (like Media Markt).

Pacific Jazz has been under the Capitol/Blue Note umbrella for more than 30 years.

What @doncornelius said.
The Gil Evans - New Bottle Old Wine from this year was originally on World Pacific Records and the Chic Corea - Now He Sings, Now He Sobs was originally on Solid State Records, which is also under the Blue Note umbrella.

It just seems so off brand though. It’s a good record though. I’ve been wanting to get some of Chet singing though.
