monkboughtlunch Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Curious if Blue Note ever fixed the botched cover of this RVG reissue....thinking about upgrading... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Did they really ship the "working" cover or was this an internet thing? Doesn't really matter to me since I live with a JRVG version but I'm curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkboughtlunch Posted April 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Yeah! I saw a bunch of the "Workout" RVGs at Tower, and they all said "Retouched cover to come". Did Blue Note ever reprint this? Or did they just pull the title? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connoisseur series500 Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 What the Hell is wrong with the old one? Looks fine to me aside from the declaration that the cover would be redone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie87 Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 How many artwork/cover screw ups has BN had in the past 10 yrs? What with the Boobys, the Hardcock, this one. I don't know if I want to "upgrade" this title or not, and if I do decide to, don't know if I'd rather buy it this way or wait for the corrected version. Anyone think this one will be worth something 10 yrs from now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDK Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 (edited) Not sure if i've seen this - what's wrong with the cover? Nevermind. But some funny stuff here... http://www.bluenote.com/detail.asp?SelectionID=10509 Edited April 23, 2006 by RDK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Berger Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 I guess I don't really see the big deal with this screw up. It's kind of funny, actually, and if I didn't already own an 80s McMaster I would definitely spring for a copy. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzdog Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 YES...I did. It looks exactly like the original issue. A bit brighter or washed out, but otherwise exactly the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Never saw that RVG issue but the new one looks like having a better copy - probably from the original negative - of the Wolff photo that was on the vinyl releases. Very slightly less croped than the original image to give a better idea of shades! And a very improved toning of the black and whites. Looks really much better now!

connoisseur series500 Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Yeah, I guess it's better. Maybe Blue Note wants to encourage us to buy two copies, just as some of us upgrade masterings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgraham333 Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 I guess the retouched cover finally came. I saw a copy at Border's without the text on the cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 I recently saw the normal cover, after seeing nothing but the one with the "retouched" note on it for months. I wonder if the ones with the screwup will be (or are being) sent back to Blue Note so they can insert the corrected covers and mayge SELL some of those babies. In any case, instead of buying the RVG (I already have the older issue) I got a Charlie Patton Yazoo CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 I did a Google search tonight, and couldn't find a scan of the cover with "Retouched cover to come." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 The cover on my copy of the RVG is normal, no "retouched cover to come" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 hank never got to hear one of his own albums on cd. Dippin came out in japan weeks after he passed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
