I really don’t know why but Japanese companies like Toshiba EMI or King Record were not able to acquire the original master to cut their Bue Note reissues for many years.Great series like LNJ or BNJ from Toshiba EMI, GXF and GXK series from King Record were not cut from the original master from the…
