(Not) My Blue Note Record Collection

[John]

Thanks all for taking the time to post.

Just wondering...



Definitely. Are these 'lp plus cd' releases: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001G5ZNFU/?tag=pinkfishmedia-20 the same as the £7.99 vinyl versions I've seen at Honest Jon's and elsewhere?

Thanks,
Alex

No, those are different. The cheaper ones, referred to as Scorpio pressings, also have the address 304 Park Ave on the back cover. They sell for around $10 here in the US.

Thanks again, John.

Are the Amazon ones thought to be much better, do you know? I kind of like the idea of having lp/cd versions too, but I don't want to pay for shipping from the US if I can help it, and can't seem to find them anywhere here in the UK.

I'm not sure, I haven't tried any of the lp/cd versions, as I think I already have most if not all of the titles. There's a thread entitled "NEW Blue Note Lp/CD series!" in the music corner section of the Steve Hoffman forum dedicated to this series if you're interested. I personally think they're a good deal especially if you want both formats and don't already own them. I wasn't aware the cheaper Scorpio pressings were unavailable in the UK. To me, they are more interesting than the lp/cd titles which have already been reissued so many times already.

Check this out! Looks like he's got a huge selection of the Scorpio pressings.

Thanks John, those are the ones that have been tempting me ever since I saw them at the weekend.

Hmmm, even at £7.99 a go, this could easily turn out to be quite expensive.

You don't have to buy them all. For a single album, I would think that's pretty cheap for a slab of vinyl.

John, I misunderstood your post from yesterday on a quick first read through earlier.

Just read it again, and it's the lp/cd ones I can't seem to find here - I'll have to look up that thread - thanks for that. As I said before, I really don't have many at all and having both formats would be handy for me.
