Acoustic Sounds New ArrivalsSeptember 12, 2007 50 Blue Note 45-RPM Reissues Coming In 2008If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then we're blushing!
The same formula that made the Fantasy 45 Series perhaps the most successful audiophile reissue collection ever is now being reapplied to not one, but TWO Blue Note reissue projects! How can Blue Note Records - maybe the most famous jazz label of all time - be left out of plans to align the best jazz records with the best means for audiophile sound?
It can't, of course. And so Acoustic Sounds' own reissue label, Analogue Productions - the same label that brought you the Fantasy 45 Series - is now reissuing 25 cherry-picked Blue Note titles to be released throughout 2008. What's more, a startup label called Music Matters, Ltd. is doing the exact same thing with a different set of 25 titles! That's right: TWO sets of Blue Note reissues, beginning in January 2008. Both reissue sets will follow the aforementioned ultra-successful formula:
Incredible Jazz Records + the original analog master tapes + cut at 45 RPM + mastered by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman at AcousTech + pressed on two 180-gram virgin vinyl LPs by RTI = THE ULTIMATE LP REISSUE Why mess with success was our thinking. And if you do something well enough there's bound to be imitators, hence Music Matters' plans to do the exact same thing! So, let's look at the titles, organized as those being reissued by Analogue Productions and those being reissued by Music Matters:
Analogue Productions LPs (limited to 2,500 numbered editions)
