chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 blue note should of had a cheap subsidary. MODERN ---> RPM had the lovely notorious CROWN, Prestige had STATUS (?- i dont know much about the releatoinship between those two please speak up and lets talk about SUBIDIARYS (sic) in this post blue note should of had a cheap subidiary to put on all the lps that werent "fit" for bluenote, such as Barry Harris Trio for example. Barry Harris trio would of been #1. Can you believe they wouldn't let him work for blue note (as a leader)?!?!?!? Quote

Free For All Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 THE ONLY ENGLISH I WANT ON ME IS A JACQUELINE BISSET / PRINCESS DIANA SANDWICH ...about 75% "creepy" there, dude! Quote
JSngry Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 Well, it's kind of a mark of BN's "quality control" that they didn't take the subsidiary route, isn't it? It was either deemed worthy for the label or it wasn't. There were probably some economics involved as well, but really, the "mystique" of the label has a lot to do with the lack of diffusion, no?

AndrewHill Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 (edited) It seems that after BN was sold to Capitol/EMI that there were the subsiderary labels. For instance, my copy of Wayne Shorter's Moto Grosso Feio is on 'One way Records' which is a 'Cema special market' from Cpaitol. I did not buy mine new, so I don't know what it went for list, but it seems that it must've gone for at least mid-price. There's also the 'EMI special products' label which seems to handle albums that the regular label is not willing to release, like Don Ellis' 'Essence'. Edited January 13, 2008 by Holy Ghost Quote

Parkertown Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 (edited) Jacqueline Bisset was on that show Nip/Tuck last season. She was kinda scary...a super-bitch who would set people up to have their internal organs stolen from them! (really bad one-night stands...I'm glad I never really did that when I was younger...) She was pretty cute in that grasshopper movie though...oh, and "The Deep." That t-shirt scene... Edited January 13, 2008 by Parkertown Quote

Are you forgetting that the label's "quality control" went way South at one point when it embraced shallow funk? Quote
Dan Gould Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 I think Jim is referring to the pre-Liberty era BN. Surely you aren't comparing quality control between Lion/Wolff and "Dr" Butler? Quote
7/4 Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 Even if Blue Note had a submarine, what would they do with it? Quote

Fer Urbina Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 In Europe, Disky (a Dutch label) did reissue recordings licensed by EMI for a few years (don't know if they still do). Among those, there was a series of compilations called The Story Of Jazz which contained Blue Note and Capitol recordings (I remember seeing a Horace Silver and a Jackie Davies compilations). Also, at least in the UK, EMI launched a "HMV" collection mainly devoted to classical music, but also to jazz, country, easy listening, etc. F Quote
Bluerein Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 Disky is a re-issue (repackage) label. Chewy means a real subsidary in the days next to the main label. This BN didn't have (didn't need to, imo). Quote

chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted January 13, 2008 Author Report Posted January 13, 2008 what is the deal w/ STATUS? Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 Status records were cheap repressings of old Prestige titles. IIRC the stores I operated paid 65 cents for them. Prestige used existing metal parts and cover art. If they had old print material left over they just slapped Status stickers on the jackets. Quote
Don Brown Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 And in Canada the Status albums were sold at the same price as the Prestiges most of them were copied from. Really shitty pressings too. Quote

I think that reissue of Moto Grosso Feio was part of a contractual oversight on someone's part, IIRC. Quote
captainwrong Posted January 19, 2008 Report Posted January 19, 2008 Blue Note's stuff appeared on Liberty's Sunset cheap-o subsidiary. I just passed on a Jimmy Smith issue a couple of weeks ago. Quote

Are you forgetting that the label's "quality control" went way South at one point when it embraced shallow funk? Chris, are you calling Baby Face Willette, John Patton, Lou Donaldson, Freddie Roach, Lonnie Smith, Reuben Wilson, Grant Green, Jimmy Smith, Stan Turrentine & Don Wilkerson shallow funk? Or do you mean what happened after Francis Wolff died? I'd have to admit that, even with this line up, Blue Note wasn't as good as Prestige at this stuff but dismissing it doesn't seem anywhere near right. MG Quote
