tooter Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 (edited) So here's the list of twenty that I'm still looking for. If anyone spots them, please let me know. List transferred to later post. August 26. Edited August 26, 2005 by tooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooter Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 That sophisiticated software one sees in the movies where a filter runs through a picture making it clearer at each stage is apparently not around here then? Been watching too many i guess. ← I tried to get the bigger file from the site, but it turned out a dead link. There is only so much magic one can apply to bad graphics. ← Yes, I tried that too. Gave a message in German (?) which even I could understand. Thanks for trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooter Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 I incorrectly stated that I had a full house of pics for 1957 but I can now say it again, truthfully. Another cover has come up on eBay, the picture has already been inserted into the Ronnie Ross Jazz Discography and what is more my list of those I'm still looking for has now dropped below twenty! A landmark! This one is just an EP but even so starts at $25. Quite a rarity I should think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooter Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 (edited) So here is the shorter list of nineteen albums for which I am still looking for cover pictures. Please keep your eyes peeled. (list deleted - see later post) Edited September 17, 2005 by tooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Congrats, Rodney! And I think I haven't mentioned that perspectives to get those new dates have risen considerably, a few days ago! Will take some time, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooter Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Thank you, Flurin - I get a lot of help and support here. On tenterhooks about the new recordings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooter Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 An album, with Ronnie Ross is the line-up and that I have just recently added the cover picture of, has just sold on eBay for $773.00 - "Don Rendell Presents the Jazz Six" from 1957. Gone to Taiwan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 has just sold on eBay for $773.00 - "Don Rendell Presents the Jazz Six" from 1957. Gone to Taiwan. That place gets sillier by the day ! At least the picture was free though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite exciting to watch, even as a non participant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooter Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 Incidentally, Sidewinder, I picked up a new copy of "Thames Suite" on CD, that you told us about, at eBay quite cheaply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 I saw that one in the shops the other day for £7.99. Tempting - but I'm holding out for a cheapish vinyl copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooter Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Thanks to our in-house image prestigitator (Couw), a new album picture which came up on eBay and which was on my list has been rendered presentable and is now on www.ronnieross.com as part of the Ronnie Ross Jazz Discography there.

tooter Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 (edited) So there are now eighteen album cover pictures that I am still looking for. Here is the up-to-date list.

tooter Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Busy day today. This one does not reduce my list because I did not know the album even existed until it came up on eBay the other day. I now have it and so have been able to scan the cover. Ronnie Ross only participates as a non-soloing sideman but can be heard occasionally. Plenty of jazz played on this album, some novelty vocal numbers and a quite Peggy Lee-like version of "Why Don't You Do Right (and get me some money now!)" by Marian Montgomery. There is a baritone (or what sounds very like a baritone) solo on the last track but I'm pretty sure it is the other baritone player, George Hunter, unfortunately. I am as yet unable to explain why both this album and the one at 75/2 entitled "The Greatest Swing Band In The World" (no ...Is) have the same number. They were made at the same place and at the same time but the material is different. I will try to sort this out when my friend in California comes back from his Hawaian holiday - vacation, I mean. He has the other album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooter Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 I had a picture of inferior quality for this one but keeping an eye on eBay has paid off again. With thanks to Couw for the usual processing, it now adorns our website - www.ronnieross.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooter Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 List of cover pictures still wanted is now down to seventeen. This one has come to me from website founder member Mack McShaffrey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooter Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 (edited) And so here is the current list. Please do keep an eye open for any of these. They keep trickling in. List moved to later post. Edited November 2, 2005 by tooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Sherlock H. reporting in, boss.. Here's the cover of the UK original on Parlophone for the Tommy Watt 1958 album (issued on King under another name I think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooter Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Egad! Well done, Holmes! Zounds! The picture I had for the album was really of the compilation which included "Watts Cookin'" (for which I have a picture) so I have cut the hot pants (see below) and substituted the more demure image you have supplied. Making progress - keep up the good work, folks. Inspector Lestrade (?) Moriarty (?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Here's a better picture of that rare Don Rendell EP on Tempo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooter Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Thanks yet again, Sidewinder. A distinct improvement once I had removed the thing at bottom right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couw Posted October 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 is it? this is the one I have on my harddisk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooter Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 I think so, yes. The previous one has a rougher texture in the detail, around Don's horn and the mike particularly, although it does seem to have better clarity of the text at the bottom. The smoother picture swings it I reckon. I make them all just 200 X 200 on the website (or try to - some seem to have minds of there own as to the size they want to be) so not too much can be seen there anyway.

sidewinder Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 A bit of yellow around the mike on couw's piccie although the one I've posted does have some yellowing ageing I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzman4133 Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Personally I prefer the "hot pants" cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
