Blue Note Records has announced the October 10 release of Ike Quebec The Complete Blue Note 45 Sessions, a special Tone Poet Vinyl Edition that collects a magnificent body of work recorded between 1959-62 by an important figure in Blue Note history. Produced for release by Joe Harley, the 3-LP vinyl set is all-analog and cut directly from Rudy Van Gelder’s original master tapes by Kevin Gray. Pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI, the LPs come packaged in a deluxe tip-on trifold jacket which includes a booklet with never-before-seen photos by Francis Wolff and an insightful, in-depth essay by scholar Loren Schoenberg. The collection will also be released as a 2-CD set and is available for pre-order.
