Large Collection of Mint, New Music Matters Blue Note Reissues Just Released For Sale

record store selling individual LPs online at Discogs and Bay

A large collection of Music Matters Blue Note reissues, Serial #40 (see list below) recently went on sale on Discogs as individual records and on Ebay as a 110 double 45rpm LP set (as I write this the top bid is $7700)—all "review samples"—(not test pressings) with Blue Note Plastylite labels. In case you are interested. In case you are interested in the difference between test pressings and review samples, in this series RTI produced up to a dozen test pressings that were evaluated and once they passed listening and visual tests, actually production begins, first with a specified small number of review samples.
