Just read this in Stereo Magazine ( German)

"We are
currently preparing a good
part of the renowned Blue
Note jazz catalog for the
archive of Capitol Records.
They come to us because
of our technology and
equipment. They want the
definitive copy of these legendary albums. They
get 24/96 and 24/192 files from the old master
tapes, which of course can also be downloaded.
Certainly with respect to the stage, they are
produced in a similar way to the LPs once made
by the famous Rudy Van Gelder."

PS: I don't mean remastering generally - I mean this specific "event".

Additional thought - Maybe this is old information for everyone, but personally I found the whole article fascinating and
a real education for a "neophyte""

"I N T E R V I E W B E R N I E G R U N D M A N
HOW SUCCESSFUL
DO YOU WANT YOUR
RECORD TO BE?
Mastering engineer Bernie Grundman has influenced the sound of many top
albums. This and his passion for the best sound make him an institution. He told
STEREO how he achieves his ambitions in his hard day-to-day work and, at the
same time, stands up to some of the madness of the music business."

Seems you can't read the article unless a subscriber?

I think he's talking about these releases Andy?

Do Blue Note's 75th Anniversary Vinyl Reissues Honor the Label's Rich History?

The first four 75th anniversary Blue Note vinyl reissues arrived the other day. The fifth, Eric Dolphy's Out to Lunch, has been delayed. First the great news: United's 120g pressings are very good! They are flat, and other than the usual dimples that seem to afflict many URP records and some "striation" often seen on URP pressings, the sealed records were defect free and better yet, they were uniformly quiet.
