Check the label. If it doesn't say STEREO under the trident, it's probably mono. And of course, the PR vs. PRST prefix. But jackets themselves can occasionally get cronky about that, they used what they had sometimes, and it didn't always line up. Not often, but once in a while.

Yup, mono it is! Thanks for making me check. I never would have thought of that. I just saw the stereo banner wrapped over the top and figured it was mistake by the person pasting on the cover.

Yeah, that used to be the norm for Stereo/Mono, back when mono still sold well enough for it to matter. One cover slick for both. Usually the catalog # would be positioned in such a way that it would reflect which one it ws, but maybe at this point in Prestige history, they didn't find that a justifiable expense.

Ok, I gotta ask - what about a Mickey Tucker record puts you in mind of Johnny Carson music?

It's just the feel of this particular record. It sounds like something Johnny's band would be playing coming out of a break. It just has that "70's Jazz" sound. Again, not a bad thing, but it's a thing still.

I mean there's some 70's/80's Jazz that sounds like the Bob Newhart intro. There's some that sounds like the Love Boat theme. This ain't that. :)

Next up, Robin Kenyatta - Beggars and Stealers (Muse). Produced by my friend Michael Cuscuna.

No Jim - this does not sound like something the Carson band would play. Ha ha ha.

And now, what is turning out to be a wonderful LP so far - Clifford Jordan - The Adventurer (Muse). Tommy Flanagan, Bill Lee & Grady Tate. Killer band.

I missed this when 32Jazz put it out with their usual stellar artwork. Do I really have to buy this ugly-looking CD... sigh.

Another good one from the same period:

Paris, France, March 26, 1975
  John Coltrane Muse MR 5076

  Midnight Waltz -
  One For Amos -

* Muse MR 5076   Clifford Jordan Quartet - Night Of The Mark VII
= Muse MCD 5445   Clifford Jordan - Highest Mountain
= 32 Jazz 32118   Clifford Jordan - Night Of The Mark VII

Yes it is! I have that on a Camden Deluxe two-fer called "Highest Mountain": https://www.discogs.com/Clifford-Jordan-Highest-Mountain/release/4046245

Oh shit, this two-fer has "The Adventurer" on it too! Excellent. I have this in digital so I don't have to buy that crappy 32Jazz CD. Thanks for getting me to check this again. :) :)

Now playing - Mickey Tucker - Mister Mysterious (Muse).

apparently aka

 

 

Now there's a label I'd completely forgotten.  I used to have a couple of them, an Earl Hines and a Claude Hopkins dixieland group IIRC. Very cheap to buy and they seemed to be pressed on something other than good vinyl.
