This could not be the original cover for Jimmy Smith at Club " Baby Grand", vol.1.

Must have been one of the 70's or 80's reissues.

Any other bad re-issue covers that come to mine?

This whole series is ridiculous. The Mingus above and Ornette Coleman Ornette! are--in their original form--two of my all-time favorites. Wa'happen......?

This one is a cryin' shame considering how cool the original is.

BTW did anyone save all those BN (Liberty?) covers gathered together on Board Krypton? I mean the series with the overlaid photographs.

thank you peter johnson!

that's what I mean. We had a whole bunch of them I remember.

I remember someone selling Grant Green's "Goin' West" on eBay. It had such a horrible cover of an acoustic guitar. Man, this is a real good reason why Blue Note went under. The quality went way down. I wish I could find that picture to post. The eBay auctions was more then 2 years ago, so no way to find it there.

Yep, that's what sunk the label. Bad covers.

I've actually grown to like this one. . . .

No, this isn't the cover I am talking about. This was the original cover from the 1969 release. Later they had a picture of a real guitar on it. It was done in a country western style. Real cheesy.

I going to spend the rest of today searching the web for a picture of it. It's going to be a real productive day at work today. :P
