Hardbopjazz Posted March 20, 2020 Report Posted March 20, 2020 Arnett Cobb's "Funky Butt", which album cover was the original? My Japanese import CD has the photo one. Quote
JSngry Posted March 20, 2020 Report Posted March 20, 2020 The top one is in line with all other Progressive LP cover designs of the time. Quote
jazztrain Posted March 20, 2020 Report Posted March 20, 2020 It looks like the second one (the Japanese issue) came out in 1980, prior to the domestic issue (1981). What about these? Quote
JSngry Posted March 20, 2020 Report Posted March 20, 2020 Did Progressive license it from a Japanese label? Quote
JSngry Posted March 20, 2020 Report Posted March 20, 2020 Ah, here we have it:https://www.discogs.com/Arnett-Cobb-Funky-Butt/release/7009630 This album was produced by co-project of Teichiku Record and Gus Statiras/Progressive Records. Recorded January 22, 1980 in NY, and released May 25, 1980. So they are both "original" covers in/on their respective countries and labels of origin. Quote
jazztrain Posted March 21, 2020 Report Posted March 21, 2020 Some of these parallel issues were slightly different as I recall. Quote
