mjzee Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 So the Moto Grosso Feio thread got me curious about which Wayne Shorter downloads are out there, and was browsing Amazon. I noticed that The Soothsayer download comes with a digital booklet. Very interesting development; I wonder whether Blue Note will roll this out more broadly.

ghost of miles Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 I'd guess that's the coming wave, given the ongoing deletion of the physical RVGs, coupled with BN's knowledge (I'd hazard to say) that people into buying Blue Note titles are generally going to want the liner notes as well.

Claude Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Seems like a logical thing to do. Downloads don't need to be inferior to CDs, in terms of quality and documentation. They should make the tracks available as lossless downloads as well, and adapt the pricing. Given the economies for the label, downloads should cost half the price of the CD. Another problem is the regional limitation. Most download shops can only sell to customers from the same country, because of copyright restrictions. If one can order a CD anywhere in the world, one should also be able to buy a download anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMP Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 My copy of the Horace Silver at Newport from iTunes had a digital book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted June 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 My copy of the Horace Silver at Newport from iTunes had a digital book. What did it look like? Was it just a PDF of the cover + liners? Was it formatted for printing & inserting in a jewel case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Speaking of Horace Silver At Newport, does anyone happen to have a spare copy of the booklet from the physical CD? Thanks, Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man with the Golden Arm Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I'd guess that's the coming wave, given the ongoing deletion of the physical RVGs, coupled with BN's knowledge (I'd hazard to say) that people into buying Blue Note titles are generally going to want the liner notes as well. Stumbled upon Amazon yesterday and see many RVG titles in MP3 are selling for $3.68. not that we need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMP Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I'll check, but I think it was just a straight PDF file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffcrom Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I usually only download music when I can't get it any other way. I recently bought (from iTunes) an EP-length album, St. Peter Street Serenade, by the Preservation Hall Hot 4. It included music, videos, and a really nice PDF booklet - complete credits, personnel for each track, and photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
