  • Blue Note Records

    Since 1939, Blue Note Records has shaped music history with iconic releases from John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Thelonious Monk, and Art Blakey while fostering modern stars like Norah Jones and Robert Glasper. Special releases, including the Tone Poet and Classic Vinyl Reissue Series and indie exclusives from today’s biggest Blue Note artists, have helped celebrate the legendary jazz label's 85th anniversary.

    Blue Note Classic Series This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is stereo, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
    Blue Note Tone Poet Series

    The Blue Note Tone Poet Series was born out of Blue Note President Don Was’ admiration for the exceptional audiophile Blue Note LP reissues presented by Music Matters. Was brought Joe Harley (from Music Matters), a.k.a. the “Tone Poet,” on board to curate and supervise a series of reissues from the Blue Note family of labels.

    Extreme attention to detail has been paid to getting these right in every conceivable way, from the jacket graphics and printing quality to superior LP mastering (direct from the master tapes) by Kevin Gray to superb 180 gm audiophile LP pressings by Record Technology Inc. Every aspect of these Blue Note/Tone Poet releases is done to the highest possible standard. It means that you will never find a superior version. This is IT. 

    Blue Note Records’ Tone Poet Audiophile Vinyl Reissue Series is produced by Joe Harley and features all-analog, mastered-from-the-original-master-tape 180g audiophile vinyl reissues in deluxe gatefold packaging. Mastering is by Kevin Gray (Cohearent Audio) and vinyl is manufactured at Record Technology Incorporated (RTI).

    Saving Tunes
    A new generation keeps the records spinning
    By Kate Morgan

    "...'This was a pipe dream of mine I’d had as a kid,' says Lynch. 'I always wanted to have a record store, but I thought I’d be like, in my 40s. Instead, I was 22.'

    The store, Tunes, has been a Voorhees mainstay for nearly three and a half decades. As larger chain record stores closed in the wake of streaming and digital music services, the shop in the Ritz Center remained a thriving gathering place for music lovers of all ages. 'It was the first place I ever bought an album,' says Lynch, who grew up in South Jersey."

    "...In the last 3 years, vinyl sales have exploded. It’s now the top-selling physical music format – by a long shot – according to the Recording Industry Association of America. Popular artists are fueling the trend, with pop singers, hip hop acts, and rockers alike issuing their music on LP. That’s restored record store demand in a way that hasn’t happened for decades. Lynch says he’s stocking as much as he can on vinyl: new releases alongside classics."    Full article
