paul secor Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 The very first jazz record that I ever bought was a Dave Brubeck Crown record, at a Firestone store in Gladewater, Texas. It was probably December 19, 1970. One of the first jazz records I bought was a Brubeck on Crown, about 9 years earlier. Wonder if it was the same title? Don't have it anymore, but I remember one of the titles was "At a Perfume Counter". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Yep. And "Angel Eyes" by some non-Brubeck group on the other side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 I didn't know what to contribute to this thread (the only Crown LP's I ever had were beat to hell, and thus sounded even worse than they did when new)... so I tried a google search and found this cover... ...and it appears to me that the decorative room-dividing custom interior design element she's standing next to is not a decorative room-dividing custom interior design element at all, but... ...a George Nelson Platform Bench (designed for the Herman Miller Company in 1946), solid birch (primavera finish) with ebonized legs (her left hand is holding one of the legs). So, just letting you guys know (after all these years) you were HAD by this photographer/designer. Btw, she looks good with the fur and eveything, but I want that bench. When Virgin issued a CD of Hadda Brooks' Modern recordings, they used the same cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasing the Korean Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 If you sat on it for too long wouldn't it leave lines on your butt? Modern furniture is supposed to look good in your pad. You're not supposed to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flat5 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I also had that "Jazz at a Perfume Counter". Forgot all about it. That was a good record. Had a mellophone or french horn solo on it, right? Did it also have "Balcony Rock"? That has a fantastic Desmond blues solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
