Now available for preorder. Note: this is not a new mastering. It's from Grundman's 2002 * version but it is hand pressed on Clarity vinyl and comes in a handsome slipcase. Don't we all need another version of this classic? 🥱* Fremer had said it was from 2002 but then corrected that. The metal parts were from 1995 when Grundman first remastered this for Classic from the original tapes.

I ordered myself a copy. Then, I went to MOFI and ordered the Janis Joplin Pearl and Paul's Simon Still Crazy after all these years 45RPM ultradisc box sets.
So I will be getting this one. There hasn't been a reissue since the Classic that wasn't digitally sourced anyway (including the MFSL).
carbon black free!
MF said "Yes Mo-Fi owned the UHQR name but let the trademark lapse, or perhaps it never had it and Analogue Productions grabbed it."
I have a copy of DGQR-10041, serial number 1048, from 1982 labeled UHQR.

Does not look to be a very clean environment to be pressing records. Needs to be a more laboratory environment.
Leave out the fancy packaging and sell it for $75.I have Chad's UHQR of Hendrix. It just might be the finest LP pressing I've ever heard. Worth the money? No.
Does anybody really give a shit about all that over the top packaging? I don't. They're a PITA to store and adds just about zero to the user experience. I'm done buying those fancy UHQR's and the MoFi Onesteps.
Now if they decide to reissue Brian Auger's Oblivion Express "Straight Ahead" I might have to change my mind, but I'm getting really tired of QRP and MoFi reissuing the same shit over and over ad nauseum in increasingly expensive incarnations.

Blood On the Tracks. I hope they do well with these as I'm hoping maybe they'll do another title I am interested in buying. Maybe Analog Productions will do something I'm interested in buying one day.Surely there are folks buying up every one of them. Pretty cool collection if you ask me - but I wouldn't do it. And then there are the folks who are buying multiple copies of each - investing for retirement or kids college I assume. Whatever - I'm sure people making them are hoarding a bunch too.
The packaging bugs me too.

.....but there are just going to be too many pressings to make it worthwhile. If they were pressing 5,000 or less, I would be in for several copies. At 10,000 might still be worth picking up a couple. At 15,000 maybe 1. And at 25,000 I'll just stick with my Columbia six-eye, and be happy. Hey, I don't have perfect pitch anyway so if the speed is off on one side, I will remain blissfully ignorant, as always.
I thought collectors bought stuff to form a collection - albums from music they like, albums by favorite artists, all MFSL or some other labels records, etc. and increasing values were a bonus. Where hoarders and investors my have some collector in them mostly they buy stuff in order to make money, either by flipping it or betting it will increase in value over time.
Personally I think it would be way cool if someone actually had 28 different versions of Kind Of Blue or Fleetwood Mac Rumours.
.....audiophiles, collectors, hoarders, investors, music buffs...we've got them all. Some of us even buy extra copies to trade for.......other rare records.
the previous score(s) of them are sounding... dated.

Don't think I need another copy.
The problem is not that there is evil in the world, the problem is that there is good. Because otherwise, who would care?
I wonder if the '02 Bernie remaster is the same as the 1995 Bernie remaster on Classic? My '95 Classic Records issue is a two-disc album. One LP at the original incorrect tape speed, and a second LP done at the correct tape speed. Jacket notes by Robert Palmer and Michael Hobson.

Bernie cut the lacquers in 1994. Classic first issued KoB in 1995, then repressed from the Bernie plates several times over the next 15 years. At some point the back slick changed to a 2001 copyright (very possible the first release featuring that date was actually in 2002). Perhaps that 2001/2002 timeframe coincided with Classic switching to Stoughton gatefolds and generating new art, thus the new copyright.
In any case, this mastering is from 1994, and was first released in 1995. 2002 represents one of the many times it's been repressed. All of the single LP 33rpm pressings used lacquers C and B; C is the corrected speed version of the original LP side A (this was side 3 of the 1995 2LP release, thus "C"), and B being side B.
It was one of the first jazz LPs I bought. Got it from Acoustic Sounds in 2003. Found old posts in the archive where I asked about the record.

I did what I get irked at others for doing. I posted before doing my own research.
I read your post further down after posting about the 1995 version. After that I read Fremmer's site and saw that exact same post you quoted.
And the horror of horrors, I swallowed my indignation at the excessive packaging and price and I ordered a damned copy. I know, that makes me a hypocrite, but damnit, this addiction is sneaky and too often forces me to go against my own better judgement.
Also, I was mildly shocked to see the median price for the 1995 Classic double of "Blue" is going for $130 on Discogs.
Just didn't get my copy until 2003.
And it's only one record, no liner notes other than the ones from the original LP sleeve.

I feel the same way—have got multiple versions but unexplainably my forefinger drifted towards the ADD TO CART button and pressed it! I've gotta do something about these inadvertent tics!
Would this be the first time you are getting the Grundman cut? Just wondering how different to the MOVLP version and the current Columbia issue it is? I presume you have those too.
I was kind of disappointed that for $100 one is only getting a single 33rpm disc and not a 2x45rpm, but then again 33rpm would probably be more popular (based on convenience) for most people...

Last night I saw a link to the AP video on the product release and at one point 45 rpm labels are visible. AP confirmed in a reply to someone that a 45rpm release is due "later". I couldn't see any price guidance on the AP site which still only lists the new UHQR and the other label releases in stock - is the $125 figure from AP on the upcoming 45 rpm release?
Thanks!

Actually, I amended my original post. Grundman did it in 1995 and those are the metal parts they're using. I have that, the MOV, the recent Mofi, and the mono reissue. They're all good. I prefer the Mofi because of enhanced low end but could live with any. I don't expect that this new one will sound much different from the 1995 version, even on Clarity. But being superficial, I like the packaging...
I should've read all the posts in this thread before I posted about my '95 copy.
You answered my question. Thx.
Been there, too.
If you're going to get a version, Bernie's is the one to get. My Classic pressing sounds superb.
