I think this whole division between the genres has more to do with marketing than anything else. It's terrible for the culture of music. Tom Waits
Good Morning,
We’ve added the next batch of about Japanese Blue Note UHQCDs to the website. These titles are all albums that Blue Note Records in the U.S. issued on Vinyl LP as part of either the Tone Poet or Blue Note Classics series. They are only available from Japan on CD and every UHQCD we’ve heard sounds fantastic. And they play on ANY CD player just like normal CDs. If you want any of them put in a “Notify Me” a.s.a.p. as the stock is limited. There are about 20 titles to choose from and hopefully they’ll all arrive sometime this week.
Have a great weekend.
