I've always been interested in these early 78rpm box sets that Blue Note put out, possibly as early as 1946 or maybe 1949, with cover art and liner notes. This really is the origin of Blue Note albums and obviously anything that helped inspire what Blue Note would become, with its iconic cover art and music, is interesting to me.

If you're new to my channel, what you can expect from me is a vinyl collector's approach to the jazz genre. For years, I've only collected vintage pressings and prioritized originals of Blue Note, Prestige, Savoy, Bethlehem, Riverside, New Jazz, and more classic labels. Lately, with the resurgence of the medium and more collectors coming to the space, the music industry has taken notice and prioritized putting out high quality reissues of some of the best albums ever recorded. Subscribe to my channel to watch me navigate how to rationalize how I used to buy vs. how I buy vinyl records today.
