I only have this recording in a cardboard sleeve ...

 

It is indeed a "blanc cover": http://birdparkerslegacy.com/carnegiehall/491224.html

Thanks for the link. That really looks interesting.

One of my favourites and I purchased it when I heard Art Farmer for the first time in 1978. He lived in Vienna (at least when taking a break from touring), and performed here regularly. 
I have the album signed by Art Farmer with a dedication for me. 

Wonderful music ! And wonderful group !

We've been blessed @ Vienna having opportunity to witness Art Farmer in concert on regular basis ....

I was lucky to see Art Farmer one time at Sweet Basil.

There are a couple of copies on discogs - not cheap though. On the other hand, I’ve never ever seen a ‘cheap’ copy and never come across it in physical shops.

Stonehenge site looking great this week and current conditions this year are the best time to see it, as mentioned by a staff member I spoke with. Admittedly though these days you can’t play cricket using one of the stones as a wicket, as I did as a lad..🤔

The discogs listing has been on my radar for a while with the hope that someone will either reduce the price or another will be listed at a more reasonable price

No cricket for me but I did attend the festival acouple of times in the early 80s, other recreational activities...

Yeah, she is very much missed on the scene over here - having said that, I was never fortunate enough to see her live. I recommend her ‘Live at the BBC’ CD box set.

Whenever I come across one of her LPs in the racks, it is often signed. Says a lot about her good natured personality, I think.

what a lineup ! The US guest input apparently coordinated by Clark Terry and separately recorded for mixing in. Works very well.

Blue label copy - sounds surprisingly good.
