I was thinking the same thing Daniel. I know my uncle doesn't have a lot of this stuff and would certainly appreciate the music. I'd love to give him the CDs for xmas, but I hesitate to buy any of these lps until someone more knowledgeable than me has had a chance to inspect them.

So who's going to go first?

These reissues may be non-interesting to you BN freaks/geeks out there who pride themselves on having first pressings of the entire 1500/4000 and possibly 5000 series of BN's on their shelves and who do nothing but drool about ears in wax, markings, addresses on covers, hues of blue on labels, etc. but believe it or not - there ARE others out there with other priorities and other focuses (

In short, to each his own, but no reason for excessive snobbery ... ;)

:o

Aren't we supposed being in the worst economic crysis since 1929?

Anyway in the mid period my 'Maiden Voyage''s investment outperformed any MSCI and stock indexes you could name. :g

Just for the hell of it, which of these famous Blue Note classics comes closest to being one you could do without? (I said "COMES CLOSEST" mind you! ) For me the winner is The Real McCoy. Glad I have it, and all, but I never did seem to listen to it very often.

I thought you said "comes closest"... :huh:

OK, sorry... :) Anyway, that would probably be "The Real McCoy". But personally, I think I listen to 'The Sidewinder' even more seldom.

I gave my old 80's CD pressing of Maiden Voyage to a friend (which he loves by the way, he is sort of a jazz newby) and bought the Vinyl-RVG CD combo for 20 bucks. The Vinyl is the McMaster mix and it sounds great, better then the old CD as I recall. Have yet to spend any time with the RVG version of the CD to compare. I will give it a spin in the car this weekend. The CD just comes in a paper sleeve with no info on it aside from what's printed on the CD itself which is similar to all the other RVG's. I guess they figure people will read the liner notes and enjoy the artwork on the vinyl and just rip the cd to their MP3 player.
