chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 (edited) okokokokokokokokokok so i got a 2nd press 60s cover of Mating Call, thats instead of the yellow birds on the beach its birds in a tree: in B&W......... the lp inside has the old YELLOW ARROW labels, however they do have the new catelgogue # for the 2nd press 7247. so that was weird i thought, the old labels on this 60s issue, is that common, however it IS the new catelgue # which changed the deadwax of the lp itself: get this, its the same stampers as the 1st press but they SCRACTH HOT THE "7070" in the deadwax and beneth it they write in 7247, but its the SAAAAAAAAAAAME STAMPERS, of course also inscribed RVG, but theres also this little letter "B" (?) also says AB stamped in deadwax... what did the 3rd issue cover look like?

The title is Genius of Modern Music, "Genesis" is something quite different. These are 1947-1952 mono recordings. Blue Note didn't record in stereo until the late 1950s.

I have a nice clean volume 1 electronically reprocessed Liberty version if you want to complete the set. (I listen to the Mosaic set or to the CD.)

chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 actually its a vol 1 in a red vol 2 cover- not bad for 3 bucks though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 did i share, how all of side A, has little splatters of yellow paint on it, like real real tiny ones, but a lot of them, hardened to the vinyl--- some painter was prob. painting to coltrane (lol) and this is the result----- side b has none really but one big sploch right at the start of side b, plays fine though and not too bad for 3 bucks if u ask me--- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly! This was THE CLASSIC type of Prestige reissue covers throughout the late 60s and all of the 70s. With these covers, you could tell Prestiges from very far afield (until the Onyx/Xanadu reissues came along that used the same basic layout, including for the liner notes ). I bought my copy of Mating Call with this cover in 1976 and (being only 16 at that time) distinctly remember how I was sort of uneasy about that "far venture" into (post-bebop era) modern jazz and about what to expect in terms of unapproachable "far out" Coltrane free jazz sounds from that record (having read about him in jazz books mainly in connection with his Free period, of course, and not really being full aware of his Miles quintet period yet). But Tadd Dameron's intriguing treatment of the tunes (he still ranks high on my jazz composer's and arranger's favorite list) really made this a fascinating and immediately acessible record that I still consider very worthwhile listening.

mikeweil Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Before the OJC thing and before the Twofer era - I, too have some. They always complied sessions anew to complete them in contrast to the scattered release patterns of early 12 " LPs. I had the three Sonny Stitt LPs, the King Pleasure, the Bebop vocalists ... nicely produced, and yes, good liner notes. RVG? Who's RVG .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnS Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 ok, how is the sound on those twofers, like 'on a misty night'? As far as I can recall mine sounded fine, but then that was the only version available at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I have several - some are US versions, manufactured by Fantasy, others are UK versions, manufactured by RCA UK, Fantasy's UK licensee at the time, one is Musidisc Europe. I've no complaints about the sound on any of them and four of them are Gene Ammons sets, where decent sound is important. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 The UK RCA pressings of the Prestige 2LPs sound distinctly better than the French ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
