BLUE NOTE RECORDS ANNOUNCES THE CLASSIC VINYL REISSUE SERIES

A CONTINUATION OF THE LABEL’S ACCLAIMED BLUE NOTE 80 VINYL REISSUE SERIES THAT WILL FEATURE ALL-ANALOG 180g VINYL PRESSINGS OF CLASSIC BLUE NOTE TITLES

MASTERED FROM ORIGINAL TAPES BY KEVIN GRAY AND PRESSED AT OPTIMAL

Blue Note Records has announced the Classic Vinyl Reissue Series, a continuation of the label’s acclaimed Blue Note 80 Vinyl Reissue Series which was launched in celebration of Blue Note’s 80th anniversary in 2019. The Classic Series will once again feature all-analog 180g vinyl pressings in standard packaging that are mastered by Kevin Gray directly from the original master tapes and manufactured at Optimal in Germany.

The first 16 titles of the Classic Series will focus on the enduring classics of the Blue Note catalog, kicking off on December 4 with the release of two masterpieces—pianist McCoy Tyner’s The Real McCoy and trumpeter Lee Morgan’s The Sidewinder—both of which are available for pre-order now. The Classic Series will be on-going, running alongside the Tone Poet Audiophile Vinyl Reissue Series which is produced by Joe Harley.
