I might spring for the reissue you linked to, and I guess I can live with the somewhat smaller format. After all the Manek Daver books aren't coffee table books either (and the cover reproductions are comparatively small), and yet they have their appeal. Same for the Jim Flora book which is fine as it is.
There are 4 different volums of Jim Floras coverart books available !!

Just bought 4 Dorothy Ashby reissues on that (dubious) Italian label Sowing Records distributed by the mailorder service "JAZZ MESSENGERS"

One more remark: Is there a complete compilation of David Stone's coverart available? His drawing is among the best you can have but the Interest is not to great. Have started a thread in another forum but traffic for that topic is not what I had imagined would be.
Someone should start that masterlist of cover art books.

Cant remember if I submitted some Info on the 8 volumes of Down Beat record reviews compiling all rated albums for the years 1956 to 1963.
Missed only the Vol. VII (1962) and have the rest here.
Even tastes are different these are a good help to find excellent albums rated by professional critics.
If someone is interested in the rating od a special album from that timespan I can do a scan.
BTW "Free Jazz" is not my cup of tea ;-]]

That's a terrifying cover.
Not only the cover but also the complete music inside

This was mentioned and discussed here briefly on 18 May. To my amazement I found a decently priced copy of this vinyl at a local secondhand record shop yesterday and took it home. But I must admit this is an item that I'll have to let grow on me. Judging by what the Cohn-Sims pair usually did this is rather subdued throughout. Here they really take things easy and don't take any chances with changing the intentions and tempos of Hoagy Carmichael's tunes. Which is alright when taken piecemeal but a change of pace and intensity here and there throughout the record could not have done any harm (maybe they ought to have tackled "Doctor Lawyer Indian Chief" too? 😁). Not that I actually regret buying it - repeated listening might bring out more - but I am not overly surprised this stayed in the can until this vinyl release in 1987.
