DETROIT (CelebrityAccess) — Universal’s Verve Records is partnering with Jack White’s Third Man Records to resurrect the popular reissue series, Verve By Request.

The new vinyl reissue service will focus on Verve’s deep catalog of rare and fan-requested jazz recordings, issuing two albums per month. The records will include both long-out-of-print titles, as well as first vinyl pressings for albums released in the 1990s and 2000s that were originally released only as CDs.

The albums will be remastered from original analog sources and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Third Man’s Pressing facility in Detroit and the re-issues will include a limited Third Man Edition yellow color variant of each LP will also be available exclusively via Third Man Records and uDiscoverMusic.

The series kicks off on November 11 with the re-issue of Alice Coltrane’s “Ptah, the El Daoud” (1970) and Roy Brooks’ long out-of-print “Beat” (1964).

Other artists to be featured in the series include James Brown, Mel Brown, Gábor Szabó, Pharoah Sanders, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Eartha Kitt and Sun Ra, among others.
