sjarrell Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Wouldn't it be swell if every digitally mastered but currently oop Blue Note title were available for download at Blue Note's website? I'd gladly pay for the service, and you'd think that would be an economical way for a label to make back-catalog stuff available. Does anyone know why this hasn't happened yet?

chris olivarez Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 I guess they figure they can make more money when they reissue it-again!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjazz Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Are there that many Blue Notes OOP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david rickert Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 I think this is a great idea. My wife just got hooked on itunes, and it works really well. Downloadable OOP CDs seems like a good way to keep those titles in circulation (for instance, Tina Brooks' "True Blue") that aren't in high demand yet would still turn a profit. You could even download all the artwork and liner notes, and presumably they would be cheaper than $18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Burke Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 I brought this up on another thread. Seems to me that making OOP catalog titles available through iTunes would be a very low-overhead way to make some cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFrank Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 I'm sure it's just a matter of time before all labels will make their catalogs available for downloading. My guess is that it will occur in the next 5-10 years - tops. Probably see the demise of the CD store at the same time - except for second-hand stores selling stuff for collectors and whatever music is still unavailable.

ejp626 Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 I agree; there are many OOP albums (already released on CD) I would like to own. Mostly BN artists such as Hill, Hutcherson and Moncur come to mind. While it is more acceptable to chase these down on Ebay, than, saying trading MP3s, buying used CDs doesn't send any money to the labels or the artists.
