Daniel A Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 After the LT series, now we have the BNLA series; 50 reissues coming up in November 2012-January 2013 covering the last period of the "old" Blue Note. The price is 999 Yen (~10 EUR/13 USD/8 GBP). I'm no expert, but it would appear that some of these have not been reissued on CD before, or in any case they are not widely available anyway. Cat.numbers TOCJ-50501 to TOCJ-50520 will be released on Nov 21, TOCJ-50521 to TOCJ-50535 on Dec 19, TOCJ-50536 to TOCJ 50550 on Jan 23 2013.

David Ayers Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 Thanks for posting that list! Quote
CJ Shearn Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 BN Live at the Roxy? wow. That is a first time on CD title. Quote
J.A.W. Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 Thanks for posting this, Daniel. That series was a very mixed bag, with some good albums and some (very) poor ones (in my opinion ). Quote
felser Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 Thanks for posting this, Daniel. That series was a very mixed bag, with some good albums and some (very) poor ones (in my opinion ). Yep, mostly poor for sure, the dreadful, commercial United Artists era, but I wholeheartedly recommend the Hutcherson Montreux CD and the Elvin Jones Lighthouse set. Also, the Silver 27th Man and the Tyner Extensions are excellent, but they've been easily obtainable in other Blue Note series. People will also be glad to see that Wayne Shorter CD, though its musical total is less that the sum of its parts, which probably explains why it sat in the can for a few years and was never reissued on CD by Blue Note (they licensed it out to One Way).

GA Russell Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 Aren't some of those Horace Silvers new to CD? Quote
felser Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 Aren't some of those Horace Silvers new to CD? Yes, I believe all of the Silver 'N titles are. That being said, they are a long way from "Song For My Father", with much dreadful gobbledygook added into the production (as was common for most of the titles recorded in the later UA era). Quote
webbcity Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 Hutcherson's Cirrus is a winner...and that one has never been on CD, AFAIK. Quote
Daniel A Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Posted October 1, 2012 Any word on the Moacir Santos albums? Quote
CJ Shearn Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 Is the Ronnie Foster title worth it? Looks to be just a trio, some of his studio albums of the period after "Two Headed Freep" got really slick in the not so good way. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 Oh, too many Japanese reissues (BN & Atlantic). I like 'Sophisticated Lou' and will welcome a CD. I'll go for the Moacir Santos ones, too. 'Maestro' is a MARVELLOUS album!!! MG Quote
djcavanagh Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 Hutcherson's Cirrus is a winner...and that one has never been on CD, AFAIK. Cirrus is on the Hutcherson Mosaic Select. I don't believe that Linger Lane has been issued on cd (in a compilation or otherwise). Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 I'm surprised that they didn't add the two Blue Mitchell dates that were excluded from the Mosaic box, "Collision in Black" & "Bantu Village". Quote
Daniel A Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Posted October 1, 2012 Re: Blue Mitchell - I noted that also 'Step Lightly' was excluded from the LT series reissues. Quote
JSngry Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 Marlena Shaw - Who Is This Bitch Anyway [Japan LTD CD] TOCJ-50512 This one won't be for everybody, but for those for whom it will be, don't miss it. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 Yes, I've got a soft spot for Marlena. What about the others? MG Quote
JSngry Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 Don't know the live one at all. The other one is ok enough, just not anything "special" compared to Who Is.... which kind of hits a zone. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 Don't know the live one at all. The other one is ok enough, just not anything "special" compared to Who Is.... which kind of hits a zone. Thanks Jim. MG Quote
felser Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Don't know the live one at all. The other one is ok enough, just not anything "special" compared to Who Is.... which kind of hits a zone. The live one's pretty good (though very short), just a trio behind her. And "Woman of the Ghetto" from it was famously sampled for that acid jazz hit by St. Germain. Edited October 1, 2012 by felser Quote
felser Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 I'm surprised that they didn't add the two Blue Mitchell dates that were excluded from the Mosaic box, "Collision in Black" & "Bantu Village". They were recorded earlier than this series, they're from the Liberty Era, not the UA era. Quote
jazzbo Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 I bet dustygroove.com will have them. Quote
colinmce Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 Yeah, DG has all the recent LT issues. Amazon has them too, though for a bit more. Quote
