About Jazz Pressing Identification
Jazz records are among the most valuable vinyl in existence, with original Blue Note pressings of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Art Blakey commanding thousands. The label is everything — a genuine Blue Note with 'Lexington Ave.' address is worth dramatically more than a later '61st Street' pressing of the same album. Our scanner reads label design details, address text, and matrix etchings to identify original pressings with high precision.
