I picked up the Plaid Room Records blue version of this Grant Green album. It sounds spectacular.
Anyways, some of you may be interested in this multi-color pressing. I believe the code "vinyl" will get you 10% off your order (so says reddit). I did not double dip on this title, so no clue if the code works.

Cross-post from the pre-order thread: I'm pretty sure the Plaid Room version you mention is still available, and it's actually a bit less expensive:I picked up the Plaid Room Records blue version of this Grant Green album. It sounds spectacular.

There were 3 other sealed SRX titles listed as well, probably same seller. They were a bit cheaper ($495) if you are pinching pennies
I would offer $2000 + free shipping for the four.

Pretty sure THIS is as close as we can get to know what's in the vault. Great reference for Blue Note nerds.

Just got “Just Coolin’” as well as the three latest BN80 releases today. Just Coolin is on first and it is quite great and sounds fantastic. Lee Morgan on “Jimerick”

I was so disappointed! I’m sure BN will get back to me soon. I love that run of Andrew Hill albums.

Somewhat Blue Note related, so I thought I could share it here:
I've been studying a masters degree during the last 2 years, and I'm now working on the final details of my dissertation. When the time came to think about the design of the cover, Reid Miles was the first thought that popped into my mind. I've been experimenting a bit with typography and text placement, but here's where I'm at right now (keep in mind this is a stock photo, and I will go take some photos myself for the final edit):
What do y'all think? One of the "challenges" I had was that my title is SUPER long, so that narrows down the graphic possibilities. Most Blue Note covers have a 2 or 4 words title + the list of musicians, so that is definitely one thing my design will be different from a Reid Miles artwork.

Prices have been going absolutely insane lately for Blue Note albums. I guess it's the trade off to BN and vinyl becoming popular again...tons of great releases like the TPs and BN80s and other labels reissuing albums, but out of print stuff going for a pretty penny. The VMP Donald Byrd Stepping into Tomorrow recently sold for $282 on discogs and lowest listed price is $125. Y'all already know about the SRXs on ebay...the whole thing is a bit mind-boggling!

Damn, if I could get $100 for my VMP version of Stepping Into Tomorrow I would be tempted to sell. But I do like the record.

And why are Eddie Gale and Donald Byrd VMP 2x45s so pricey and Johnny Griffins so cheap on Discogs?

Man, why didn't I know that Billy Harper played on Lee Morgan's self titled posthumous release. I'm just giving this record a listen, and the contrast between both soloists makes for a very interesting listen. I may try to grab one of these if I ever come across a decently priced copy on Discogs.
@Selaws I believe you own a copy of this album, right? What pressing is it? I'm seeing that "Blue Label w/ Black logo" pressing are significantly cheaper than the early pressings, and still have the Van Gelder stamp on them. What would a reasonable price be for such a pressing?

Anyone have first hand listening experience with the Rudy Van Gelder cd remaster series that Blue Note did in the early 2000's? A local thrift store has about 5-7 and was thinking of grabbing them. I have read some people hate them and other love them. I guess for 3 bucks each (5 for 10) I could take a risk on them.

RVG Edition
Reissue series introduced in 1999 by Blue Note, consisting of albums originally recorded and subsequently remastered (using 24-bit equipment) by veteran jazz engineer Rudy Van Gelder, who the series is named after. The full name of the series is 'The Rudy Van Gelder Edition'. Not to be confused...

Yeah, { believe they are not great sounding, compressed and bright if memory serves, but depends on your system .
