This older one is good too. Some good interviews with Alfred and Francis's wives, Van Gelder, and many artists and fans.
The Blue Note Thread
- Thread starter stpaulbrowns
- Start date
There's a documentary called It Must Schwing! The Story of Blue Note that came out a few years ago also that I've heard is fantastic but it's only available importing a Region 2 DVD/Blu-ray and not streaming.

I got JPC version of that one. It's only available in Germany and there's no subs which wouldn't really be an issue except there's a few scenes where they speak German. Not sure why they didn't include subtitles.

yah, Ive seen it once, but it was hard to follow without subs even though I spent a few years in Germany.

I had it in school for a few years, graduated even though i rarely paid attention in class, but my German is not sharp enough to just listen to it without subs as backup. About 7-8 years later i was diagnosed with Autism and ADD so we found out why i was "always quiet", "not paying attention in class" and "drifts off" during most classes

This sounds like the reports I write for a living.
Ornette box arrived today. Magnificent. True Tone Poet production, wonderful covers (all but the two Golden Circle are gatefolds, and New York Is Now has the original gatefold reproduced). RTI pressings appear great. All good so far, this box should not be missed!
The booklet is not too many pages, but there are several photos of the Stockholm shows, which I had never seen before.
The back covers are totally faithful to the originals, except the presence of bar codes, which may be an indication that individual titles may eventually be released. But I would not expect for a very long time, due to the pressing situation.

I realize it’s just 6 regular TPs that come in a basic box and incl a booklet, but it still looks really fantastic in one set, especially all those killer gatefold photos in a chronological group. Unfortunately, I’m sitting this one out. I simply have too much in the pipeline already.

Quick vinyl storage/protection questions (mostly related to Tone Poets/Gatefolds):
Like many of you, I think the Tone Poet series has been on an amazing run. Looking through the titles, I think I've picked up almost 90 percent of them. I'm curious:
1) When you purchase a gatefold like the Tone Poets, do you keep the gatefold in the shrink? Y/N
2) If not, do you hold onto the hype stickers? Toss/Keep
3) What poly outers do you use for Tone Poets and other gatefolds (like the new Acoustic Sounds series)? For years, I've been using the 12 3/4x 12 1/2 3mil from Square Deal. No complaints, but they are T-I-G-H-T on gatefolds. I've tried their Double Oversized Sleeves, but they are too big for most gatefolds. What are you using?

1. I do keep them in their original packaging, and put an outer over that. But generally speaking with such original wrapping, if I can get the sticker off in one piece, I'll do that and then stick it to the poly outer I use for that record (so I guess that's the answer to #2).
3. I use these: 12 15/16" x 12 15/16" No Flap, Crystal Clear Album Sleeve (100 Pieces) [BLPDNF]

Interesting. Last I heard these were both slated for April 15. Tough to keep up with the shifting press calendar. Thanks, Adele!The In Groove has pre-orders up for the Bud Powell and Milt Jackson BN Classics:

1. Almost never keep shrink on gatefolds.
2. No Saving hypes if they’re on removed shrink.I have a bunch of saved TP and BN Classic and other outers w hypes in case I sell any
3. These are great for TPs and other oversize gatefolds. Good company, too, owned by one guy:
OVERSIZED 4 mil 13 inch LP Vinyl Record Outer Sleeves - Crystal Clear CPP-25 Sleeves to a Pack
Buy this size for Tone Poets, Analogue Pro, Acoustic Sounds/Verve Series and the such, if they fall into the measurements below. Most Mofi One Steps will not fit! Spec size is 333mm x 333 mm, or 13" x 13", with a tolerance of +/- 2 to 3mm or 1/8" Remember the thickness of the album will take up...
vinylstoragesolutions.ca
EDIT: those oversized sleeves are not tight on TPs. They should be called Magnum outer sleeves.
1) - No. I put it in a new, fresh resealable outer.
2) - No. Hype stickers are useless. They are to promote at point of sale. Obsessives hold on to them!
3) - I still have a stash of Japanese super clear resealable outers. They are going to be a bit tight, but still are fine.

1) No, I take the shrink off all my albums, gatefold or no
2) I cut the hype sticker off and toss it in the sleeve
3) I use Sleeve City 2.5 outers and they fit just fine

Looks like I'm the freak here:
1. Yes, if it is the baggie type with the perforated top. Otherwise if it is just shrink wrap, I pitch.
2. Very rarely.
3. I use the Big Fudge 12" outers available on Amazon. They're relatively inexpensive and work fine. My one order experience from Sleeve City was a nightmare and I'll never do it again. Ended up not getting anything despite shipping notifications.
Listening to Jackie McLean's - Destination Out for the first time right now. Really enjoying the opening track, not too familiar with any McLean projects. A new rabbit hole opens! Fwiw, I was really impressed by his playing on Kenny Dorham's Matador recently.
