Blue Note Review Number 3 Unboxing

[@analoguecity3454]

Michael, vinyl is like physical books, there will always be a place for it! Especially now!😊

[@ThomasOwl]

Your show coverage recording and editing keeps improving. Thank you for the time and effort, it shows.

[@trackingangle929]

Thank you. I appreciate your comment and I also continue trying to improve what I do...

[@Coffeeology]

What am I doing while watching this? Buying records, more new records! Thanks for all the great information, Michael! Happy 2025!

It looks to be a beautifully curated box set from Blue Note. Is it expensive, yes but it does appear to be full of fun and informative stuff. I haven't bought it as I no longer have an analog front end (I transitioned over to hi-rez/immersive to physical product) many years ago but as a lifelong music fan and audio collector/phile, I still enjoy all things analog and occasionally buy records for my best friend who inherited a mid-late 70's Thorenz. What fun has he been having discovering records from multiple decades and genres. I have followed you for decades, enjoy your work and respect your views/reviews. Cheers!

Gorgeous ! Happy new year with all kinds of good music

Blue note is the reason I'm excited about vinyl. Thanks for the review.

[@Andy-rc9db]

I’m a huge Lee Morgan fan and would love this set - but I’m in the UK, which means £275 all in… Not sure I can extend to that. I do wish that BlueNote would begin to offer these specials through their local stores. No reason why some copies shouldn’t be allocated to the EU/Europe - particularly given that we are more populous than the US. Anyway, great looking set and thanks for the opening - would love to hear how it sounds.

[@chrislj2890]

Blue Note is great and I've never regretted buying any of their albums. To me they are a symbol of quality.

[@aperfectpresciption-vinylc3200]

Sweet package, so difficult to get outside the USA.

[@1999zrx1100]

Anything Lee Morgan I’m all over. Thanks Michael 🙏

[@deeg8849]

Love Lee

[@celtic-audiophile]

Excellent comments, totally agree.

"...and I was told that Don Was sat at a Singer sewing machine and sewed up each one of these by himself." 😆

[@londonrecordlover965]

Hi Michael, really enjoyed this thoughtful review (even though you have neither read nor listened to the subject matter yet!). Don’t know how much this box costs but am inclined to say it is worth it in a world where you can spend £100 on a steak and chips! Imagine going round to someone’s house for the first time and seeing this Blue Note box on their living room shelf. You would just know they were a class act and an interesting person. Best wishes for 2025 from London.

February of '64 I was in Allentown, PA, since you asked.

[@Fluterra]

Where in the OMA TT?

[@trackingangle929]

I sold it back to the manufacturer per our contract.

[@jamesnordbeck382]

I would appreciate watching a video of you playing the 45 rpm on your turntable.

[@trackingangle929]

might do that!

[@REX4340]

​@@trackingangle929please do, your recorder sounds pretty good!

[@RandallWeaver]

@@trackingangle929 Sweet Honey Bee....one of my favorite Duke Pearson songs from the Sweet Honey Bee album, a real favorite. I have learned from the Tone Poet Society newsletter that the original master tapes for that album have disappeared. Such a shame...I was hoping for a Tone Poet re-issue.

[@nwjazz]

Awesome! How do I get one?

[@trackingangle929]

try the BlueNote website!

[@nwjazz]

@@trackingangle929 Thanks. I finally found it, ships Jan 8, $225.

I get your wit. Thx.

[@anonymex22]

I hope you say wrong and the analog revival will keep growing, eventually bringing back to casual people more and more reachable high end of the sound golden age playback devices (RTR/Cassette deck/VHS HIFI/etc) with of course release because even if i don't have the top noch devices, being able to listening from time to time to all of them, specially with such good material is a total rejuvenation for my ears which have to daily painfully support pitiful digital sound; at least till i die! It would be a pity if it only left me my analog synthesizers to enjoy true sound. (electronic only for the case) I have already this pain with video, please don't say those heart breaking words again about sound, those 25 last years of low release in analog sound were already so painful! Long life to Analog!

[@MegaSergiolopes]

hi, have your hearring loss surpassed by your high end equipment

[@trackingangle929]

No. I just had my hearing tested actually, and it's still pretty good. As good as when I was 20? No. But listening is a combination of ear equipment and how the brain interprets it. My hearing is also tested by every equipment and record review I write and if you read both and the comments under them you'd see that what I hear is confirmed almost 100% of the time by ears younger than mine. In fact, we have a 19 year old reviewer with spectacular hearing and the two of us almost always hear things identically. But thanks for asking.

[@mjot2360]

Hearing degradation is a great excuse to buy better gear!

[@MegaSergiolopes]

@@trackingangle929 Thank you for your quick response, I am 55 and hearring loss and high end equipments intrigues me and you answered brilliantly.

[@stillaliveandwell5291]

As the train slowly downshifts into Station 72 my need for records is diminishing at about the same rate that my tinnitus is increasing 😅. After reading a mo fi phonostage review you did l looked in to purchasing the new Rhino Van Morrison His Band and Street Choir. $40 plus 8 for shipping!! For 1 record! Ok l can afford it. But l guess I'll wait. It's already $1.50 less for a once played copy on discogs😂❤😊

[@trackingangle929]

@@stillaliveandwell5291 please factor in inflation when considering record prices! Records in the 1967 cost $4.98. Adjusted for inflation, $4.98 in 1967 is equal to $46.43 in 2024!

[@harbars1]

"only a few people" - well that explains their idiotic Tone Poet Subscription US only misstep

[@amysarg]

The way the stereo channels are out of sync is killing me

[@trackingangle929]

yes. Not sure why that happened...sorry.

[@Chattanoogachoochoo_0105a]

Another boring video as usual. WOOF...WOOF!

[@trackingangle929]

another boring comment from a pathetic troll.

[@Daniel-c4s8x]

Your mic needs adjusting .sounds ugly

[@trackingangle929]

Was not overmodulating so not sure what kind of adjustment I could make.
