Classic Vinyl Reissue Series is presented as a continuation of the label’s Blue Note 80 reissue series, and features all-analogue, 180g vinyl pressings, re-mastered from the original tapes.

The series will begin with the reissue of Lee Morgan’s The Sidewinder and McCoy Tyner’s The Real McCoy, which will be followed by albums from artists including Horace Silver, Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers, Joe Henderson, Freddie Hubbard, and Herbie Hancock.

It follows Blue Note’s release of vibraphonist Joel Ross’ Who Are You LP, this October.
