2008 ANALOGUE PRODUCTIONS "THE BLUE NOTE REISSUES", 2LP, 45RPM, 180G VIRGIN VINYL, #558 OF A SOLD-OUT LIMITED EDITION, RECORDED BY RUDY VAN GELDER AT VAN GELDER STUDIO, ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NJ, REMASTERED AT ACOUSTECH FROM THE ORIGINAL BLUE NOTE MASTER TAPE AND PRESSED AT RTI, CAMARILLO, CA.
"THE BEST ALBUMS FROM LEGENDARY BLUE NOTE RECORDS JAZZ CATALOGUE GET IMPECCABLE AUDIOPHILE TREATMENT BY ANALOGUE PRODUCTIONS, CUT AT 45 RPM FOR ULTIMATE SOUND QUALITY BY EQUALLY LEGENDARY MASTERING ENGINEERS KEVIN GRAY AND STEVE HOFFMAN AT ACOUSTECH, PRESERVING ALL THE ANALOG GLORY OF THE ORIGINAL BLUE NOTE MASTER TAPE TO BRING THESE SESSIONS TO LIFE IN SPECTACULAR FASHION, LIKE THEY DESERVE."
"AS MUCH AS I'D LOVE TO RELAY ALL KINDS OF ANECDOTES ABOUT THE CHALLENGES STEVE HOFFMAN AND KEVIN GRAY ENCOUNTER DURING THE MASTERING SESSIONS, I WITNESS NONE. THESE BOYS KNOW THE SOUND OF THE FACILITY AND THE VAN GELDER MASTERS LIKE THE BACKS OF THEIR HANDS...BACK HOME A MONTH LATER, I UNPACK SOME TEST PRESSINGS CHAD KASSEM (OWNER ANALOGUE PRODUCTIONS) HAS SENT ME...I HEAR THE MOST REALISTIC SOUNDING DRUMS EVER REPRODUCED BY MY SYSTEM, IT'S AS THOUGH I'M SITTING AT THE POINT OF CREATION, EXPERIENCING THE SAME HIGH THAT BROUGHT SUCH GIFTED MUSICIANS TOGETHER AS ONE. STEVE HOFFMAN, KEVIN GRAY, CHAD KASSEM AND DON MACINNIS HAVE DONE RUDY VAN GELDER AND HIS BLUE NOTE ARTISTS PROUD."--JASON VICTOR SERINUS, STEREOPHILE
"THIS IS PURE EXCEPTIONAL BOP BY JACKIE MCLEAN WITH BLUE MITCHELL, WALTER BISHOP, JR., PAUL CHAMBERS AND ART TAYLOR WITH ALL THE WONDERFUL ELEMENTS OF ANY CLASSIC BLUE NOTE ALBUM: MEMORABLE COMPOSITIONS, STRONG SOLOS AND GREAT FEELING. BUT "CAPUCHIN SWING" ALSO FINDS THE GREAT ALTO SAXOPHONIST LOOKING TOWARD NEW FRONTIERS WITH THE HARMONICALLY EDGY "FRANCISCO."
