tooter Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 Lots of new additions to the Ronnie Ross Jazz Discography www.ronnieross.com lately, many without cover pictures because they are of broadcast sessions rather than albums. But two are albums and here they are. These do not bring down the list of cover pictures sought because I didn't know about them before. Quote
tooter Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 (edited) And so here is the latest list of the cover pictures I'm still looking for - stuck on thirteen. edit - list up-dated and transferred to later post (March 3 2006) Edited March 3, 2006 by tooter Quote
tooter Posted February 15, 2006 Report Posted February 15, 2006 Another album obtained, so here's the cover picture. I just had two EP covers before, didn't know an LP had been issued. All details on our site now (www.ronnieross.com). Still thirteen on the list though. Quote

tooter Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 (edited) Thank you for all the recent information, Couw. It has kept me busy for quite a while already and will continue to do so for some time yet! I have posted the [Newport] picture onto our website (www.ronnieross.com). I have also deleted the Vic Lewis entry from the missing covers list and will be looking into the this question. I was aware of the boxed set but as Ronnie Ross only appears in two tracks, it seems a bit much to list them all. I was hoping the original issue would surface, if indeed there was one. Alternatively, I might just leave it at the two tracks. So here is the up-to-date list - not many more to go! Note: list moved to later post - May 4 2006 Edited May 4, 2006 by tooter Quote
tooter Posted May 4, 2006 Report Posted May 4, 2006 Yet another cover picture has become available. Not at all sure of the jazz content on this album but will perhaps find out soon. Thanks for expert processing once again to Couw. Quote
tooter Posted May 4, 2006 Report Posted May 4, 2006 (edited) Here is the up-to-date list of the nine album cover pictures I'm still looking for. If you happen to spot any or know where I could get them, please let me know. (list moved to later post) Edited June 11, 2006 by tooter Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 (edited) Ronnie Ross -- Cleopatra's Needle (Japanese pressing) (reissue) . . . LP . . . $39.99 (Item: 416118) Fontana (Japan), 1968 Condition: New Copy An incredible record from the British jazz scene of the late 60s -- and quite possibly the best-ever set cut by baritone saxophonist Ronnie Ross! Ross was always a great player in his own right -- probably the second greatest European baritonist of his generation next to Lars Gullin -- but on this record he really steps forward with a bold new sound -- one that's filled with sharp edges, modal rhythms, and some of the more adventurous jazz modes that had been showing up the Saba label during the late 60s. His partners in crime here include tenor saxophonist Art Elefsen, trumpeter Les Condon, vibist and pianist Bill LeSage, bassist Spike Heatley, and drummer Tony Carr -- and both Elefsen and LeSage contribute really tremendous sounds to the record, especially on those numbers that feature vibes. All tracks are originals by the members of the group -- filled with dynamic energy and freely exploratory grooves -- and titles include "Dolphin Square", "Cleopatra's Needle", "Stand By", "Tibufa", "Brewer's Castle", and "U69". (Incredible package -- with the original European-styled sleeve, plus an extra separate sleeve for the vinyl!) yipes ... courtesy of Du$ty Groove Edited June 7, 2006 by Man with the Golden Arm Quote
couw Posted June 7, 2006 Author Report Posted June 7, 2006 -- with the original European-styled sleeve -- that would be real thin paper with ring wear just from looking at it, then? Quote

sidewinder Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 (edited) Imposter ! The original Fontana has foldbacks on the sleeves so presumably they are replicating that. Is this taken from the stereo source tapes or is it a vinyl lift? Edited June 7, 2006 by sidewinder Quote

Is this taken from the stereo source tapes or is it a vinyl lift? Out of stock anyway - no order made. Picture's good though, and now adorns our site. I thought all record suppliers were completely honest and above board. Quote
tooter Posted June 11, 2006 Report Posted June 11, 2006 Another picture has turned up - found this one myself. Quote
tooter Posted June 11, 2006 Report Posted June 11, 2006 (edited) So the list of cover pictures still sought grows ever less. Now down to only seven. Don't forget to keep an eye open for any of these please. 1. 55/1 Leader: Tony Crombie Date: March 31 1955 Venue: London Label: Decca DFE6281, F10514, 10620, F10592, F10637 Album Titles: Annie Ross with Tony Crombie and his Orchestra, Presenting Tony Crombie No. 2 (EP) 2. 55/5 Leader: Cleo Laine Date: December 13 1955 Venue: London Label: Nixa NJE1010, PRT PYL6028 Album Title: Unforgettable Cleo Laine 3. 58/7 Leader: (Melody Maker All Stars) Date: November 1958 Venue: London Label: Pye Nixa NJT518 Album Title: (Melody Maker Jazz Poll 1958/1959) 4. 62/4 Leader: Don Rendell Date: September 6 1962 Venue: London Label: Pye 7NJ 2059 Album Title: The Jazz Stars 5. 78/1 Leader: Arthur Greenslade Date: January 1978 Venue: London Label: Pye NPSL18557 Album Title: George Melly With Orchestra Arranged And Conducted By Arthur Greenslade 6. 89/6 Leader: Chris Smith Dates: November 23 29 1989?

sidewinder Posted June 11, 2006 Report Posted June 11, 2006 I have a copy of the Cameron 'Cover Lover' vinyl on its way to me in the next few weeks, Tooter. I'll happily do you a scan when it arrives. Quote
sidewinder Posted June 11, 2006 Report Posted June 11, 2006 (edited) Here it is - advance copy for the Ronnie site. Hmmm - looking at this cover it would appear that Gordon Brown started off doing jazz.. Edited June 11, 2006 by sidewinder Quote

Cover picture is on the site now - thanks a lot, sidewinder. I see now that I don't have full personnel. Are you able to tell me the missing names/instruments? Gordon Brown? Does not appear anywhere else. Percussion? Brass? Here's what I've got. Personnel: Unknown brass [6 8], Ronnie Ross [out 5] (alto saxophone, baritone saxophone, bass clarinet), Art Ellefson [1 2 3 12] (tenor saxophone), Ray Swinfield [6 8] (flute), John Cameron (piano, vocal), Spike Heatley [out 5] (bass), Tony Carr [out 5] (drums), Unknown percussion [6 8]. Could you scan the back of it for any details it might yield for me please? Quote
