Tried some of the new Kevin Gray Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series
Old chestnuts...
Eric Dolphy - Out To Lunch
Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage
Dexter Gordon - Go
These new versions sound better and are much better pressed than the earlier US 75/80 series.

The Classic Series is shaping up to be a real "classic"!
Great selection. THE 75's are a hit and miss affair. The 80's a better bet. Not had a bad Tone Poet.
I have MM Dolphy and Gordon, but only 75 Maiden Voyage, so interested in your thoughts on that Classic series Hancock.

I missed out the MMs when they were affordable Tone Poets are pricey My Herbie 80 US was OK sounding, if a little precessed but badly pressed - mildly warped, full of crackles and ticks/pops. Online they say the Euro 75/80s were much better pressings. The new Classic is superb ! A few moaners on Discogs got bad pressings but mine is flat and quiet. Sonically, it's a slightly warmer, tubey, analogue sound with greater presence and dimensionality. Very nice. Not heard the MMs but they are still considered to be the best BN re-issues.

What did you buy... CDs ?
Wishlist untouched ?
Bad IT... after you bought things from your wishlist, those items are still in the wishlist

My wishlist was emptied when I ordered from the BlueNote 30% off sale! Hopefully they'll arrive... Bought record sleeves and record weight.

After I ordered I got next day shipping from Southbound Scofield/Metheny - both slightly dished, a few minor ticks, overall excellent - one oddity, the sleeve is some stupid oversize thing that won;t fit in my outers Horace sounds better than my BN80 but has some minor audible scratches - this is the only BN Classic have that did not have a poly lined inner sleeve Herbie was typical MOV - squeaky clean, too clean ? You can hear cold digital hands at work.
