There's something to the uniqueness of the sound, though. No way I'm going there, but it makes me happy to know that some still are. Those bigass grooves can hold a LOT of sound...

Sadly, you're absolutely right.  I'm still grateful to Norah Jones for selling so many millions of BN CD's so that they had the capitol to do all those dream-come-true reissues.

I have no real answer to this other than to say the US and Japanese markets of Universal/Blue Note are independent and the Japanese have always been very insular about their market and cater to it alone. And from what I gather from reading and a bit of correspondence Redbook cd is at this time a bigger part of the listening world in Japan than it is here in the US, more relevant and marketable. You and I listen to cds, and many here, but really this is an island of its own and most US persons no longer gravitate to cds the way we do. Is what it is. I think we'll see a few interesting re-packages and combinations of Blue Note material, but there will never again be a stream of releases in cd format as we saw forty, thirty, twenty, even ten years ago. I hope I'm wrong, I fear I am right.
