sheldonm Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 I picked up the Thad Jones (Detroit New York Connection) and Mitchell's "Boss Horns" this weekend at Dusty Groove. They had several others, but I didn't need them (Tina Brooks, Freddie Redd I think and others). Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 I recently saw the Spanish Blue Note TRUE BLUE fro $25 on half.com. At least they mentioned it was the Spanish release, but somebody's trying to take advantage of a poor unknowing soul. I believe TRUE BLUE is actually still available from Blue Moon which makes this even more disgusting. That's one of the things I dislike about ebay - or rather: about some of the sellers there. ubu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

street singer Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 For anyone who's still interested in these Spanish Blue Notes, E-JazzLines still has a great number of them available. I was only recently made aware of these hard-to-find sessions being released in Spain, so, in order to snatch these up while they're still around, I went absolutely nuts tonight and ordered the following: THAD JONES - Detroit NY Junction ART BLAKEY - Like someone in love LEE MORGAN - The cooker JOHNNY COLES - Little Johnny C. LEO PARKER - Let me tell you bout it HORACE SILVER - Further explorations CURTIS FULLER - Curtis Fuller 3 IKE QUEBEC - It might as well be spring PETE LA ROCA - Basra HORACE PARLAN QUINTET - Up and down FREDDIE ROACH - Down to earth JIMMY SMITH - Softly as a summer breeze CLIFFORD JORDAN - Cliff Jordan REUBEN WILSON - Love bug SONNY RED - Out of the blue LONNIE SMITH - Turning point All of these were listed as being in stock w/ the exception of the Blakey - this one "usually ships in 7 days", it says. I will post an update in the next few days to advise how many have actually shipped... These were slightly more expensive than Dusty Groove (~$11.50 as opposed to $9.99), but Dusty Groove only had about 5 of these discs in stock. I've never ordered from E-JazzLines before, so...I'll keep my fingers crossed. Now, who's got some good, full-color high-res scans of these album covers so that I can start making some "real" covers to hide those awful blue ones?! Seriously... Anyone?

street singer Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Just got an email from EJazzLines stating that my order shipped complete today. Wow... That was quick! This batch of CDs should keep me busy for a little while... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris olivarez Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 I saw a Clifford Brown compilation under Spanish Blue Note listed on Dusty Groove does anybody know about that one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
street singer Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 try here I did the same thing. Also made individual disc fro the Patton Select Yeah, I've already downloaded most of the covers from that website. I was hoping that someone had some better quality scans, though - some of those require lots of touching up in PhotoShop. I don't mind doing it...it just takes me entirely too long to get them looking half-way decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 I saw a Clifford Brown compilation under Spanish Blue Note listed on Dusty Groove does anybody know about that one? The only Clifford Brown album I've seen in this series is "Memorial album". I guess it uses the McMaster remastering, which is clearly inferior to the current RVG reissue.

scottb Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Seeing this tread again got me excited about some of these titles again. Before I ordered from the above link, I checked at Blue Moon in Barcelona again where I had ordered some previously. Although many are gone I picked up. Freddie Roach - DOWN TO EARTH Reuben Wilson - LOVE BUG Johnny Griffin - THE CONGREGATION Ike Quebec - something, but not IT MIGHT AS WELL BE SPRING Still no TURNING POINT or BASRA but only 5.75 euros a piece.

sjarrell Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 (edited) For cover scans I've been using Graham Marsh and Glyn Callingham's Blue Note Cover Art book and my scanner. Sure, there's a few covers that aren't represented, but not many. Here it is at Amazon: click The really small ones need to be scanned around 150% and resized a bit in photoshop, but they look swell. And as the original topic goes, I've got Boss Horn, It Might as Well Be Spring, Cliff Jordan, Turning Point, Like Someone in Love, True Blue, Little Johnny C... I think that's it. Two from the remarkably efficient and reasonably priced EJazzlines, the rest from an eBay seller called spanichi, whom I purchased from directly after losing an auction. They are ugly little blue things, but they sound swell and they're a bargain. I just wish I hadn't bought the Toshiba Up & Down before I discovered them!

street singer Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 Hey...you're member #666. Creepy. I've only got the smaller version of the Blue Note Covers book. Guess I'll have to track down the two larger versions... 'Up and Down' has quickly become one of my favorites out of the batch of these that I bought. That Mosaic set is looking awful tempting...

That is creepy. I should've waited a day or two! As for the covers book, I'm using the small one. Enlarging and reducing, everything looks swell as a 4.75" square. And Up and Down is great- but Happy Frame of Mind is better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couw Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 sjarrell, welcome to the board! this site has cover scans of most BN (LP) releases in a decent size large enough for CD booklet printing. They may need some touch up in Photoshop in some cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connoisseur series500 Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 The only Spanish BN I have is "Boss Horn." I already owned all the others before the Spanish stuff became available. I did get "Turning Point" afterwards on regular Blue Note (Japanese? I can't remember.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggie87 Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 bump... I just recently picked up the RVG of "True Blue", yet already have the Spanish Blue Note version. Figured I'd buy the more "legit" versions of these discs as they come out. But given the limited nature of these Spanish Blue Notes, do y'all think the value of these will go up in the future? Is it worth my time to keep the Spanish Blue Notes that I have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 (edited) Erik - I would say that any of the Spanish Blue Notes that you have which are copies of the Toshiba remasters (look on the inside sleeve notes to check this) are definitely worth hanging on to. The ones which are copies of pre- 20/24 bit McMasters I would be more inclined to dispose of. I suspect 'True Blue' might come into this category but not sure.

But I don't have 'em all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 I was in the HMV Ginza branch yesterday and I noticed they are now selling a bunch of the Spanish Blue Notes at around $10 each. They seem to be spreading everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
