Catalogue Gold at the Grammys

February 1, 2010 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

Those who tuned into last night's Grammy telecast may have been shaking their head at the oddity of it all - I know I was. But The Second Disc would be remiss in not posting the winners in several catalogue categories. Their victories weren't televised, of course, but they deserve all the commendation in the world.

First, a big hand for Neil Young's Archives Vol. 1 (1963-1972) for winning Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package. The trophies go to the art directors of the project, which were Young, Gary Burden and Jenice Heo. This set is crazy in its depth, and the award is the icing on the cake for this labor of love.

Up next is another win for jazz writer Dan Morgenstern, who scored his eighth Grammy for Best Album Notes. This time he got the gold for The Complete Louis Armstrong Decca Sessions (1935-1946). Very good stuff.

Finally, a big hand to Andy McKaie and Erick Labson for their production and mastering on Little Walter's The Complete Chess Masters (1950-1967), which won the Best Historical Album Grammy.

Congratulations to all the winners for their contributions to the catalogue field!

Mike Duquette

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.
