I've recently begun collecting Blue Note records and love the sound of them. However, its difficult for me to tell the difference between the originals and the multiple re-issues. Is there a rule of thumb or guideline to telling which records are from which era?
where I have most difficulty is in determining the age of the re-issues, eg., are they from the 1980's, 1990's or 2000's as they all pretty much have the same label and look the same to me.
a handy reference is the Record guide from goldmine which has a section in the front which lists most of the labels and explains which ones are from which dates such as capitol -rainbow green orange red etc. available at most book stores Barnes and Noble for ex.
