Dootone and Crown Records reissues

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Does anyone know the font that Mosaic uses?

No, it's less tall and the photo needs a border, but the photo you've found is dead right.

It's wrong by era. I'd need a photo from late '50's - early '60's. And maybe change the title to The Complete Redd Foxx Dooto Recordings.

This means Counce now has 1 title currently in print. A shame.

Yes, it IS a shame. This Dootone plus the three/four on Contemporary make a very nice selection of hard, West-Coast jazz.

I seem to recall that all the music on these albums was released by one of the Andorran labels a while back..was it Gambit? That's probably why all the "proper" releases have gone OOP

Yes, it wasGambit, but I doubt that would be enough to drive them out of print on Contemporary. More likely the Concord bean counters saw there was insufficient sales history.

Yeah, most likely. Mosaic was considering a Select, too bad that never came to pass.

As a disappointing addendum, the OOP CDs are very pricy to boot.

Dang, I would have loved a Curtis Counce Select.

Dang.

How about this?

Looks good

I have zero photoshop skills but I've always fantasized about mocking up covers of classic albums as though they'd appeared on other labels (a la Unit Structures on Prestige or some such).

[MomsMobley]

bravo, mjzee... one thing tho' is that photo of Redd is anachronistic for the Dootone set... how about this Redd instead?

also, don't forget Redd's Dootoon label mate, Scatman Crothers.

u guys i saw on my vacation this really cool EARLY (maybe not 50s but definetly no later than mid 60s) japan copy of the Dex, but the vinyl was shellac or styrene and it would of definetly broke in my suitcase, so i passed. i have an original of the buddy collette, watch out for that tonearm on the last groove....ouch! wonder if they actually have the masters for these. im guessing prob not. i wonder where they are!

Good to see they did use repros of the original covers for the Boplicity vinyls of the Dootone series.

But I liked the cover of the Fresh Sounds better, with just the inset original cover and no additional margin or big lettering.

Re: Curtis Counce - the Gambit set did not include the Dooto LP, just the Contemporary sides, but not everything - just 23 of the 30 tracks recorded plus 3 recorded for the Stars of Jazz TV show. They left off the 3 Elmo Hope tracks, among others. You can lokk up all the tracks in the Carl Perkins Discography and the Elmo Hope Discography, respectively. All the sessions were made in 1956 and 1957.

The Gambit double CD, btw, is oop and amazon.de sellers ask for ridiculous prices.

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but the Curtis Counce session originally on Dootone was reissued on Fresh Sound on the CD titled "Elmo Hope - So Nice".

That CD also includes the 3 tracks by the Elmo Hope Quintet that were originally on Pacific Jazz.

Many thanks for the information about PJ33.

BTW, this is a very helpful article about creating artwork for albums:

Except... All the Mosaic sleeves I've seen have dark backgrounds to the photos. Surely they can't all have been taken against black backgrounds? But I doubt if they've been photoshopped by MC.

Hey, I work with what I'm given.
