What about all the people who shop for CDs in physical and online stores but aren't heavily involved with the internet who will never even know this release exists?

That's a relief. Given what happened to some of those Selects like the Don Pullen.

If they scrapped the masters how much of a hurdle would that be for Mosaic? It's still available. Perhaps customers are simply limited to putting a single copy in their cart?

Even better, get a decent European style welfare system in place. No need for artists to beg themselves through old age.

Re-reading Adam Hochschild's King Leopold's Ghost in this Folio Society edition, bought in last month's sale (50% off).

The combination of Joe Henderson and Elvin Jones (and McCoy Tyner) on this album!

New arrival.

I could order a copy for in-store pickup but at €26 or €27 instead of €12.68. Perhaps I'd better wait a little longer for Discogs listings to appear.

The following image from Discogs also gives this impressions: Source: https://www.discogs.com/Blue-%C3%96yster-Cult-On-Your-Feet-Or-On-Your-Knees/release/14446875

I just played the BN Works' first track and the cymbals are noticeably rolled off. About the same as Crossings in Herbie Hancock The Warner Bros. Years from 2014?

Yes, that's a reproduction of the info on Culture Factory's website. A bit strange to limit these to 1000 copies a title if they intend this to be a long running series. https://culturefactoryusa.com/product/jackie-mclean-cd-let-freedom-ring/

Thanks, Lon. I'll now have to decide on a seller. Do you know if there'll be more Blue Note CDs than the 2 currently available? (The other being Don Wilkerson Preach Brother!)

I can get this for about €12.68 with free shipping, but it might be a rough ride with minimalist packaging from the USA. Recently ordered a CD in a jewel case (John Patton Got A Good Thing Going Japanese CD from last summer) from that seller that arrived in tatters. The artwork and CD were undamaged of course, and I am not the type to mourn a lost jewel case, but I doubt Culture Factory uses Japanese grade mini-lp packaging despite the faux OBI strip.

New remasters? I am in need of a good remaster of Let Freedom Ring. I currently have the BN Works. Is this more like the 75th anniversary SHMs or the recent 80th anniversary CDs from June through August? How sturdy is the packaging?

CD 2.

I listened to some YouTube clips of Victor Feldman's Secret of the Andes and it's pure easy listening nonsense. Why would I care if it is great sonically?

Criminally compressed, right? That's how I remember that album.
