JSngry Posted February 10, 2004 Report Posted February 10, 2004 The goin' west cover was around the time this Silver records was reissued. Dude, I don't think so. GOIN' WEST had come and gone by then. As far as I know, it's only had the one cover, unless there was an Applause thing I missed. But that would have been early-80s. I could be wrong, though. Quote
JSngry Posted February 10, 2004 Report Posted February 10, 2004 They want 45 EUROS for that LP on a German used LP site! Sorry, couldn't find a larger pic of that meager meal. For 45 EUROS you should at least get rice... Quote

JSngry Posted February 10, 2004 Report Posted February 10, 2004 Please do! I've never seen it. Now, the Liberty cover to Lou Donaldson's SUNNY SIDE UP & THE TIME IS RIGHT, those are horrible! Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 Every other time this cover appears in this thread, it's a link to an image hosted for an eBay auction, and that's sure not gonna last. So, here's one for the ages... Quote
mikeweil Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 (edited) Who designed this epitome of good taste, BTW? This is completely atypical for a 1962 Blue Note cover, but it has the issue number 84310, making it a vault issue from the 1970's - I couldn't find any other cover, the blueish ones all were for albums released soon after recording. Considering most of Green's piano quartet session stayed in the can for several years ... Edited March 10, 2004 by mikeweil Quote
Stefan Wood Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 This is the one and only cover for Goin West. Unfortunately...... Quote
jazzbo Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 On another thread it was mentioned that there was an earlier "Goin' West" cover that was WORSE than this one, more in line with the LT Rainbow series of lps. I happen to LIKE THIS one. Don't ask me why, I just do. Quote
JSngry Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 Who designed this epitome of good taste, BTW? There is no credit for that anywhere on the album. ANYWHERE! There are, however, two miniscule Roman numeral copyright dates of 1969. I'm with Lon - I like this cover quite a bit. The smaller size of online scans (and, I suspect, the upcoming CD covers) compress what on the LP is the use of whatever you call that effect of creating images through dots, like the photo of Blakey on INDESTRUCTABLE. This effect is used on the background colors, which are significantly more diffuse as a result of the larger size, and this creates a totally different visual ambiance. Another incident of LP superiority! I'll agree that it's in no way a "typical" BN cover, even from 1969, but that doesn't matter to me. I like it on its own merits, although to be accurate, it's more "Southwestern" than "Western". Otoh, America in 1969 had not yet really discovered the Southwest as a region w/a truly distinct cultural identity, so slack is cut, no doubt gratuitously. Glad to hear it's the only one, too! Quote
couw Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 you know where to look if you want an LP cover scan... DOTS! DOTS! DOTS all over it! Quote
JSngry Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 Getting closer - expand it to 12 X 12. Quote
danasgoodstuff Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 I too like the Goin' West cover, but I LOVE the music (surely inspired by Rollins' magnificently off the wall Way Out West) and I'm completely bummed that the RVG doesn't contain these outtakes: "Home On the Range" & "I'm an Old Cowhand" (later redone by Grant with Larry Young).

Rooster_Ties Posted May 4, 2004 Report Posted May 4, 2004 Fun thread. Any more ugly reissues from the 70's??? Quote
