Edited 10 months agoConfused as to why this still hasn't been updated to reflect the accurate side A matrix for a first press (or at least have the correct matrix added as a variant):
https://londonjazzcollector.wordpress.com/2023/12/01/art-blakey-blp-4003-moanin-1958-original-1st-pressing-status/ -
So, does the "second pressing" deserve a unique listing? I've the original labels (no "inc"), but the jacket rear has the "bold" font at the bottom. -
Notes says "- Back cover does have INC. and 'Blue Note Records Inc.' is set in a bold, sans serif font" but pics show that it does NOT have INC on back.
Which is it? -
VG+ copies typically $3-400. So why do all of the sellers now want $1K and up??? So tired of the price gouging. Makes collecting records feel like a chore. -
Got a very marked version of this yesterday - and despite the almost continuous pop and crackle it simply blows away the latest classic series remaster. Maybe they should do some of the classic series in mono!
