Blue Note Records 75th Anniversary Vinyl Initiative

Blue Note Records veröffentlicht anlässlich seines 75-jährigen Bestehens dutzende remasterte Alben aus seinem Katalog auf Vinyl. Die Aktion beginnt am 25. April mit Alben von Art Blakey, Wayne Shorter, John Coltrane, Eric Dolphy und Larry Young. In den darauffolgenden Monaten werden im Rahmen dieser 75th Anniversary Vinyl Initiative jeweils weitere fünf Alben pro Monat veröffentlicht. Bislang sind 100 Reissues angekündigt – weitere sollen folgen.

While these new versions will become available in Digital Hi Def, CD and the Mastered for iTunes formats, the allure of vinyl records is WAY too potent to ignore. This year, Blue Note – along with our friends at Universal Music Enterprises – is launching a major 75th Anniversary Vinyl Initiative that is dedicated to the proposition that our catalog should be readily available at a low cost – featuring high quality pressings and authentic reproductions of Blue Note’s iconic packaging. Beginning in March 2014, we’ll start rolling out five remastered vinyl reissues every month. Although this program begins in celebration of Blue Note’s 75th Anniversary, our catalog runs so deep that we will faithfully be reissuing five albums a month for many years to come!
