In Reply to: RE: this is so confusing cuz, there are so many reissues... posted by kuma on November 21, 2015 at 14:20:34
The ones with the sticker actually were/are a couple of bucks more expensive. The plain ones are 19.99, and sometimes I've seen them locally on sale for $12.99. Bought Cecil Taylor's Unit Structure with defective left channel (completely unlistenable), also Tony Williams's "Spring" warped and extremely noisy. Returned them both, of course, didn't even listen to the whole thing. With the sticker I had Tyner's' "Real McCoy" I think, and it was so sterile I can't even describe. No bass, no highs, no nothing. A joke. Also there are European "limited editions", but I never heard them, and I really doubt they're good. I'll never again try anything that comes from Blue Note records.
Follow Ups:
I was curious about that title cuz, that's remastered by Alan Yoshida since so far the Don Was Blue Note I bought were done by Bernie Grundman.
I can't help to think if they used the same Yoshida's XRCD Blue Note remaster file from a few years back to cut a lacquer .
Well, Music Matters is my saviour for Blue note catalogue and I am grateful.
Now if someone like that redo the Bill Evans Riverside/Fantasy catalogue... ( AP's reissues, whilst smooth, they really lack dynamics and it is criminal what they charged for the toilet paper packaging! )
Did you try Analogue Production Blue Note?
Interesting. Are you sure Yoshida did Real McCoy? I have 17 Audio Wave XRCDs by Yoshida, but the Real McCoy is not among them, and I didn't even know he did that particular title on xrcd. I'm going to re-buy that LP to listen again, I want to make sure if I had the same version a couple of months ago. The latest Japanese SHM cd version is really good.
Actually I have the Concord/Fantasy Riverside Evans records, and they sound very nice. I didn't even expect them to be like this. You'll be surprised. Of course you gotta try hard to get a flat copy.
I never had any of AP Blue Notes or anything at 45 RPM, because I'm too lazy:)
but the Don Was 75 Real Mccoy you had was done by Yoshida according to the Discog data.
And I vaguely recall looking at the back of that LP at a local record shop where they stock many Don Was Blue Note titles. There was another titles with no engineer names but the remastering was credited to Capitol Studio, IIRC...
Anyways, I have been listening to the latest from MM33 series
Mobley's 'Workout' sounds incredible. I hear nothing but a total blackness when the needle gets placed on a record. This pressing might be better than 'Soul Station' and 'Roll Call'.
