Couple of things here. The reissues have more bass because that's what Rudy recorded on the master tapes. We do not roll that off as Rudy had to do in the 50s and 60s. The "punch" you speak of, or as Michael said "all the instruments are at the same level" comes from the compression Rudy added in mastering. We don't use compression. On the other hand, if one enjoys hunting (and paying for) OGs, I'm all for it! Whatever doorway into this fabulous music you take, whichever makes you happy, is the correct choice!

very helpful insight! many thanks

I'm a huge believer that at their best, these new releases, are capable of exceeding the originals, if done correctly. Every Classic and Tone Poet i've picked up so far has been beyond excellent.

Wow those Sonny Clark originals are beautiful. For me, it is an amazing feeling to hold records from that time period when they are in such nice condition, even the inexpensive ones.

Amazing finds Guenter congratulations. Great comparisons guys.A tough one Stereo v Mono .So refreshing the original monos scored so highly. So special & so fortunate to have them & to be able play them. Michael,Guenter thx for sharing .

@juliensullerot1111 9 месяцев назад

Great, great!!! The monos are impossible to beat. To me, even lacking of some bass and sometimes top end, these are the ones you are happy to listen to the most. This is top fun to listen to those blue note OG!

great video thx a lot, i just bought the BLUE NOTE Reissues - Analogue Production ,Vinyl Box (25x2 Vinyl 45-RPM LP Set) from a audiophile guy for a good price, this box set from 2008 i not even listed on discogs, it sounds great but not all records,

@seamuscolgan7654 9 месяцев назад

Those two LP's are amazing finds 😮

@Joe-yi8xj 9 месяцев назад

Original mono blue notes are so much more punchy and raw in the best possible ways

Nice comparison of some amazing records. 👏🏻🍺

This is really, really nice.

@MrLovell1971 9 месяцев назад

That’s some top notch pieces right there they don’t press them like that anymore I wish I had those . The sound of those original pressings IMO is outstanding I’ve never seen those OGs in the wild before I with you guys Mono is the way to go 🥂.

@nttng95 9 месяцев назад

Nice one. Not in my collection yet but have their cover design on tee shirt 😅

@mr.bigsquid8422 9 месяцев назад

Amazing finds! Great conversation! In my experience, the mono cartridge will also help bring out the bass a bit along with some more clarity and robustness. A testament to how good those records must sound.

@zundap100 9 месяцев назад

Two excellent albums and we are very glad that you showed and presented them. Of course, it would be nice to hear them, but unfortunately it is not practical. Anyway, thanks to both of you for the video.👍

Great stream! I’m envious of all that space on the shelves! I only have a handful of originals, but usually I prefer the Tone Poets / MMJ, but I should revisit this on some. Unfortunately mine are more VG / VG-, so more surface noise :/

Great video!

@thebuxtstopshere 9 месяцев назад

50s/60s presses are unsurpassed.. agree. I don't think the newer pressing plants match the care and technique of the lathes to cutting and pressing l.. aside from what I have read and know about ERC but not experientially. Having tasted for eg. Columbia SAX, Decca SXL and 1st press Blue Note as examples gracing my turntables, this is true to what my ears have taken in. Thx for this piece.

@williamschaefer7399 9 месяцев назад

This is why I focus on first presses in mono. I think you will be quite surprised at the improvement with a mono cart

@kgeo753 9 месяцев назад

Michael, I know you’re know you’re not the biggest Beatles fan but I do hope you do a comparison of the Red and Blue remixes and the 2014 analog pressings. Yours is the only opinion I put stock in.

@mymixture965 8 месяцев назад

I have about 70 OG Blue Notes and for some titles I also have a modern version, I always like the OG´s better. I also have a dedicated mono tonearm and this is very important, a must have, when you buy the old monos.

@dariuszsalamon9441 9 месяцев назад

the sound of old titles was limited by bandwidth of the cutting lathe back in a day and also limited dynamic because cartridges would not handle it back in 50s and 60s

@Raymondey 9 месяцев назад

Nice 👌

@hennietaljaard9096 9 месяцев назад

I have some of the Blue Note originals. Compared to modern versions they are warmer and more cohesive. with the monos the image is in the middle. I think the old valve equipment has a lot to do with this.

@jazzkatt7083 9 месяцев назад

Nice find for people who like the originals. Joe Harley said they could’ve done reissues like the OG but he said sounds were “missing” on the originals.😮

@betze7169 9 месяцев назад

Hi Michael, have you used your Stereo or a new Mono Cartridge for these sublime originals? Thanks for this interesting video!

@VagueRANT100 9 месяцев назад

my deep groove mono Blue Train has myriad hairline scratches yet it plays perfectly.....late fifties OGs are best ...Jawohl...!!!

@michaelgallay 9 месяцев назад

Did you also compare cool struttin from blue note classic (stereo) and blue note 75 (mono) ?

@dirkbusche54 9 месяцев назад

I suppose, you heard the Original Cool Struttin with Mono-Cartridge. Which one? The much better sound with Mono-Carts is my experience too, especially with Miyajima Kotetu Mono or AT 33 Mono.

@snapcracklenpop821 9 месяцев назад

Saw one of those drop for 2300 gbp on ebay last night

@alwilliams5177 9 месяцев назад

You can't compare mono to stereo. Mono always seems louder and more solid. It has more punch. Unlike R&R, they made great stereo jazz albums very early (Blues and The Abstract Truth fkr instance). Never heard an album that was released in both that sounded better in stereo.
