Classic Blue Notes on SHM-CD

[RPF1990]

Thanks for the update Erwbol.  I suspected that the box sets may have been non-remastered, but found no indication either way when looking.

However, I reckon that the other CDs may be new remasters - we may find.  I haven't found any concrete evidence, as such.  It is just that all the new titles, except one, were in the first batch of 20 BN (Grundman) vinyl masters.  So, maybe a CD reissue program is to mirror the vinyl one, but at a quicker pace, I presume?    Also, I see that Spotify also appears to be hosting new BN masters e.g. Introducing The Three Sounds (2013) / Lee Morgan - The Cooker (2006 versions & 2013).  These are copyrighted: Blue Note Records, not uploaded by a European third party Public Domain company etc.   This is just pure speculation on my part.  I have found no other on-line shops offering new (non-SHM) remasters or found any info regarding a new CD reissue programme. Seeing the 2015 labeled titles just peaked my interest.

EDIT: whatever these CDs are, they are listed at ImportCDs.com (and some other sites).  Some sources state that they are Italian releases and are due to be released today (Friday 11th).  Amazon has the same date.  However, Universal Italy states 26 Feb and calls the items international releases, although, only Cornbread and Somethin' Else is listed, I think.  The first title has no associated mastering information, but the latter is noted to be '2012 remastered'.

John Patton's Blue John has 5 previously unissued bonus tracks, new tunes not alternates, decidedly less greasy than what was originally included

There's at least 2 albums by the Three Sounds with a bunch of bonus tracks, again new tunes but I don't have those

Lou D's Here 'Tis has one bonus untitled blues, again don't have it (yet)

I'm pretty sure there's more, would love to see some of this, and other previously unissued BN out domestically at more reasonable prices.

[djcavanagh]

Thanks both. Looks like The Three Sounds - Here We Come also has two tracks not on the original album (The Girl Next Door, This Is The Way 'Tis).

 

Any more for any more?

[Dan Gould]

Wait a bleepin' minute, Hank's Workout has unissued tunes?

Or are they tracks that came out elsewhere domestically, like on Another Workout? If there's Hank to be had from the Workout session I got to get on this fast.

[Rooster_Ties]

BTW, the alternate of the title track from Mode For Joe was a real eye-opener for me.

 

Maybe I was just overly used to the 'original' - but this tune, which is fairly sparse (and almost feels through-composed) -- really shines in this new (alternate) incarnation.

[Dan Gould]

Thanks.

• Joe Henderson - Mode For Joe (UCCQ-5120)

I'm now updating the list with the new titles you provided ...

New to me were Say it Loud!, Heads Up!, Comin' Your Way.

Doesn`t "Comin Your Way" feature the same 8 tracks already having been part of  CDP 7 84065 2 ?

[djcavanagh]

Sorry, yes, it looks like that is the case. My shm-cd has 8 tracks. Only difference is that they moved the alternate take.

[djcavanagh]

Aarggggh!

 

looks like the Mitchell alternates are on the Mosaic so aren't new, but the Donaldson has an alternate of Brother Soul that doesn't seem to have been on the 2005 cd.

 

Apologies again for the confusion.

To help with any future questions.

 

Free For All bonus track - alternate of Free For All

 

Hustlin' bonus track - alternate of Trouble No. 2

Jubilee Shout bonus tracks - alternates of Jubliee Shout, My Ship, Brother Tom

 

 

 

[danasgoodstuff]

I think the alternate of Brother Soul was on one of those various artists Rare Groove things but there's an unissued tune from that session, Red Top IIRC.  Generally more interested in new tunes than alternate takes, all things being equal which of course they never are (my intro to econ prof was found of saying that in Latin).  An alternate Jubilee Shout would be interseting if different enuff - say keeping the vamp all the way through the solos, or a different vamp....

[king ubu]

The Donaldson was here I guess:

I think the SHM version of Black Orchid (3 Sounds) has a previously unreleased track "Over The Rainbow"

Interesting. I was thinking that Black Orchid duplicated the many extras included in the domestic reissue but side by side I see that's not true.

These two were issued on the JRVG of It Just Gotta Be.

 

[RPF1990]

I received a copy of Duke Pearson's Sweet Honey Bee SHM-CD this morning (Amazon impulse purchase; after seeing it being noted as out of print, elsewhere).  I really like the music and think the CD sounds fine.  To add to the previous discussions on the CDs source. I'm pretty sure that the CD is taken from a vinyl source.  However, I am not saying that I would have noticed this if others had not raised the issue.

Out of interest, I burnt the new CD to my laptop as an MP3 and listened to it on headphones and compared it to another MP3 of the 1993 Capital Records EU release.  What I could hear (I believe) are two CDs from the same source.  There appears to be vinyl static noise in the same places.  Although, this is less noticeable on the SHM-CD.  Plus, this is probably more noticeable in general on headphones, especially when you are actively listening for faults, so I would not want to over play this.

Flicking between both files, I didn't notice much of a difference in sound overall.  I don't really care about DR values (I care about sound enjoyment, but sometimes check them out of personal interest - to try and ascertain whether I think compression is good or bad for music: probably both at times I have decided).  However, I could see, but not necessarily hear, that the differences between both sources may be partially down to very slight added compression. Plus, whatever engineers do to lessen clicks and pops.  (Possibly, alter the EQ slightly, in this instance, I guess.)  I compared lossy files only, as I'm not into audiofile sound-test exercises...just wondered whether the SHM-CD was possibly the product of a newly obtained master-tape that, we may now be privileged to hear.  

Anyway, after lots of waffle.  Did I mention, I really like this CD and the way it sounds.  Needle drop or not, I would purchase again.  (What's wrong the odd click and pop, anyway?  I'd listen to a record found in a skip if the content excited me.)

So are these still available in retail? cdjapan lists them all as 'sold out'.

[RPF1990]

Demitry

I think the BN SHM-CDs released on 28 Sept 2016 (preceding the Dec RVGs SHM releases) are the same masterings as the BN 75 SHMs.  At least I'm pretty sure Cannonball Adderley's Somethin' Else is.  [Both shared the same tracklisting .i.e extra tracks and the same P&C copywrite dates - plus to me they sounded identical.]  Maybe someone else can offer an opinion too, if they have heard other Sept 2016 releases etc.  The packaging was more basic on the newer CD than the BN 75ths, but that was the only difference I noticed. 

I think sound samples can be compared on CD Japan for some identical titles, to see if they match - also.

[Dmitry]

Thanks, RPF1990.  Can you point me to the 28 sept 2016 releases? Does this duplicate the BN Masterworks roster?

Also, how do you think these shm cds stack up against the 50 AP sacds? I missed this whole shm-cd series, when it originally came out....

These were the titles released Sept 28: http://www.universal-music.co.jp/jazz/jazz-hyakkaten/cat/201609bluenote/ The BN Masterworks was not duplicated as such, the BN releases are part of a Universal cross-label re-issue program (CD Japan identifies this as follows:  Reissue with SHM-CD format. Comes with new liner notes. This series features the album with the following product numbers: UCCO-5551 through UCCU-5704. The site mentions Riverside, even though this re-issue 'event' covers other labels.) I 'believe' each BN title was part of the Masterworks release schedule.  

 

The only other title I have (alongside Somethin' Else) from the Sept releases is Newk's Time and this does seem to adhere to the Masterworks sound profile as much as I can tell, also. Probably a good idea to check the the sound samples between BN 75 and the later crop of releases; I'm not really the best person to comment on sound quality, as I'm not really a sound-chaser, usually happy just to have the music, for the most part. I do see how some masters can bring music to life and can see why the chase could be fun.  I'm too lazy and poor to do this :-).  Probably, mostly the latter.

From what I've noticed this is exactly correct. I've bought about 15 of them so far. Comparing the sound to the samples of the blue note masterworks they sound the same to me. Also, they all have the bonus tracks that were only available on these editions. Not definitive proof, but compelling.

[Late]

On December 6 (2017), 50 Blue Note SHM-CDs will be back in the catalog again. No images on the Universal site yet. It's a chance to pick up titles that were missed the first time around in 2014.

[jazzbo]

Thanks for the headsup Laton, there were a few I missed that are coming out again.

[David Ayers]

Thanks for the heads up. Though I've almost given up on CDs I'll be back in for...the two least interesting albums here! I can't stop myself.

[Late]

Four of the five Elvin Jones SHM-CDs will be returning:

• The Ultimate
• Poly-Currents
• Genesis
• Coalition
(Puttin' It Together is the missing title.)

These all have excellent transfers (in my opinion) and are recommendable. I like them better than the transfers on the Mosaic.

I still find it hard to keep track of the different releases and re-releases. As an example I'll take Bobby Hutcherson's 'Happenings'.

TYCJ-81027 [SHM-CD] was released on Nov 20, 2013. That was the original BN75 release.

UCCU-99154 [CD] was released on Sept 30, 2015. I assume that was not the same mastering as the excellent BN75 release.

UCCU-5700 [SHM-CD] was released on Sept 28, 2016. Did it have the same mastering as the TYCJ release?

UCCQ-9233 [SHM-CD] - yet another version released on Dec 14, 2016. I assume this a re-release of the RVG CD, judging from the item description on CDJapan. 

Any thoughts?
