Is the opening side of the LP off-vertical, as if the guillotine was cutting the thing at wrong angle? Every one of this title I've ever seen has had that ! Quote
sidewinder Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 Miles Davis 'Directions' (UK CBS, 2LP). Remember when this one originally came out - a bolt from the blue during Miles 'sabatical'. Quote

I hadn't spotted it until you mentioned it. It is pretty obvious once you know it. Question about original BN titles: Do some records have a NY label on one side and a 47 west 63 rd on the other? Are these real original records? Edited July 22, 2008 by ASNL77 Quote
clifford_thornton Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 Yeah, that happened sometimes when they were using leftover labels in transitional periods. I can't remember when BN moved from W. 63rd to W. 61st - sometime around what, '62 or '63? Labels don't always denote original - I have seen W 63rd labels on non-Van Gelder (Liberty-era) vinyl. Quote

Are these real original records? Often BNs are pretty confused about labels, better check the stampers out on dead wax: look for the "ear" and "vangelder" or "RVG" stampers, if you want to be sure you got an early pressing. Quote

Are these real original records? Can't seem to find my 'Cornbread' at the moment ( ) but I think this one was issued early on in the Liberty era - the front cover art should have 'Liberty' on it, even though the labels are NY USA. It would appear that the 'collectable' version of this title is the one with the straight side ! Re: 47W63rd mixes - There was a transitional period where some titles (Hank's 'Roll Call' comes to mind) had 'NY USA' on one side and '47W63'rd on the other, usually with deep groove and ear.

sidewinder Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 (edited) Labels don't always denote original - I have seen W 63rd labels on non-Van Gelder (Liberty-era) vinyl. I have a few of them - often stereos with 'Van Gelder' and no 'ear' - and they can sound very good indeed. Suprisingly good, in fact ! Edited July 22, 2008 by sidewinder Quote

Teasing the Korean Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 (edited) Cal Tjader - Greatest Hits Vol. 2 - Fantasy (stereo, brown label 70s reissue). A nice one-stop shopping collection. I think I have more albums by Cal Tjader than any other single artist. At least 30 of them, spread out over at least 5 sections of my record accumulation. De-flowered a brand new Grado stylus with this album tonight! Edited July 23, 2008 by Teasing the Korean Quote
