The subscription-based, vinyl-only record label Newvelle Records is an audacious project on many levels—a “closed loop” system wherein jazz enthusiasts pay an annual “membership fee” of $425 (includes shipping) and receive six Newvelle-produced records—all performed by mostly familiar “world class” artists— over the course of the year.

The by-subscription Newvelle jazz label just launched season four of its unique original LP series. The vinyl-only 6 LP series consists of original productions, all recorded and mixed at East Side Sound in New York by Marc Urselli with lacquers mastered by Alex DeTurk. Pressing has moved from MPO to Chad Kassem's QRP in Salina, Kansas.

The by-subscription jazz vinyl-only label Newvelle recently announced "Newvelle Live", a week of music on the stage and in the studio to celebrate Newvelle’s 5th Anniversary. The week-long event features two New York premieres , four world premieres, and five live recording sessions. Alumni from each season of the label’s subscription-based box sets will perform at the legendary Jazz Standard, NYC, Jazz Record’s 2017 “venue of the year.”

Newvelle Records yesterday announced it was releasing as a "stand alone" LP from the 4 LP New Orleans Collection Irma Thomas' remarkable Love Is The Foundation.

Sad to report that record cleaning specialist Nitty Gritty is going out of business—and not because business is poor.

Numero Group is set to issue 5 LP box set and deluxe box set editions of Pastor T.L. Barrett and the Youth for Christ Choir's I Shall Wear a Crown. You probably know some of this amazing music even if you think you don't.

The numerogroup can rest easy. An even more foolish vinyl story has just appeared online in The New Jersey Star Ledger.
