This Japanese site has a wealth of rare vintage LP covers, for all of you who love this kind of stuff:

That's an interesting....I didn't even realize that Dizzy had a Blue Note 10" ('Horn of Plenty'). Wonder how it sounds.....or if Toshiba will ever release it in some future wave of 10" vinyl re-issues?

The Gillespie Blue Note 10" LP contained recordings originally done in Paris in 1952, licensed from Vogue. The complete sessions were among the series of Vogue reissue CDs from BMG France a few years ago.

Say what you will about the cover, but I hope that Duke Pearson album is on the Select.

Alan Bates of Black Lion has the rights for all Fred Norsworthy produced Jazzline et.al. LPs, there was a CD of this issued in 1989 with three alternate takes added, Black Lion BLCD 760134, under Donald Byrd's (!) name, titled Groovin' For Nat. A nice session, the rhythm section with Pearson, Bob Cranshaw and Walter Perkins cooks, and the unusual two trumpet frontline is very attractive, nice to compare Byrd and Coles.

This will definitely not be part of the Mosaic Select, so look for this CD:

I love this kind of stuff, and I've seen a lot of sites similar to this, but never saw this one. This is ULTRA cool, from what I've seen so far (not that much yet, because the pages full of images take forever to load on my system). A LOT of those 10" LP covers are ones I've never seen on the internet (and several of them I've never seen ANYWHERE!). Thanks alot, Mike.

Just came across this one - an item that would score hundreds of EUROs at an auction here in Germany. Makes me sigh and wish for a Clarke-Boland Mosaic with the combo stuff included ...

Now what was on his mind?

the happy minors remind me of this one:

Now is there a tune on it, "Pretty Minors" ...

Thanks for the compliment!

Obscure now, but this is the one I bought in 1974.

I have this record. Desmond plays a solo on a ballad version of "What Is This Thing Called Love", that seems to be literally asking, not answering, the question in some detail. Sublime.

Not exactly jazz, but still...

I've heard that Mel Brown thing. FUNKY!

But that font looks like it belongs on a Capitol record, not an Impulse!. Somebody explain THAT!
