Japanese-only BN covers (King, etc...)

[Rooster_Ties]

I really like some of these (and not others, if you know what I mean), and there are several here that I'd never seen before just now. Enjoy!!

Go here: http://gokudo.co.jp/Record/SPRec/ -- and scroll down a bit, below the LT series (the ones with the white borders).

Here's a few that were totally new to me...

[Rooster_Ties]

Some more I hadn't ever seen before today...

Thanks for posting these ! The Hutcherson 'Inner Glow' is a new one for me - I wonder what this one sounds like? (with Harold Land in the lineup I'll bet its a winner..)

it's a compilation of BN stuff compiled by the guy on the cover. The site has been discussed here recently and the webmaster even dropped by. Will need to search to find.

Thanks, couw, missed that thread the first time, somehow...

[Rooster_Ties]

Here's some more compilations, with moderately cool covers...

I have that 'King' Flanagan 'Lonely Town'........and also the TOCJ which they fixed (Benjamin).

[Rooster_Ties]

Were there any other TOCJ CD covers that were unique to Japan?? Like this one??

[Jim R]

The TOCJ of STREET SINGER has a different cover from the one above.

A lot of the above covers were included in the second and third BN album art books ("Volume 2" and "The "ultimate collection").

[Brad]

I'm sure that most of these have been reissued in some form or another (e.g. Street Singer in Jackie's Bag) but what about Blakey's Live at the Renaissance Club? Has that come out as something else?

I've only got Volume 1, but I do have the smaller-footprint BN cover book that came out recently. (So perhaps I have seen a few of these before, but not more than maybe just once -- and I sure don't remember any of these that I've posted in this thread.)

Four of the tracks were released in the U.S. on BN-LA573-J2 (70's twofer series). Some titles from the session were released in Japan only. Further titles were released on United Artists (THREE BLIND MICE, VOL. 2).

[Rooster_Ties]

I've always really liked these three covers, and wish they had been issued on CD somewhere (TOCJ or US), with their original King covers...

[Jim R]

CLUBHOUSE was issued on CD in the U.S. with that cover in 1990.

[Eric]

Wow - I have never seen 90% of these either - pretty cool

Wasn't the Mobley an original issue though?

[Jim R]

Re the Mobley- the art for BNJ 61006 is almost identical (except for the lettering) to BN 1560

[.:.impossible]

I've never even heard of many of these. Some of the covers are great. Others have TERRIBLE font choice. My favorite is Sonny Clark Art of the Trio. Nice.

[PHILLYQ]

Is a Japanese issue the only way to get a hold of Jackie Mac's 'Hipnosis'? The title tune keeps buzzing around in my head and I want to get the disc, but no luck on Tower or BN so far in locating the disc? Anyone know where I could get this domestically? Is it OOP in the USA? Thanks loads for any leads.

Ah yes ...

(the US version with Donald Byrd versus KD)

(almost like one of those kid picture games where you have two similar pictures and you have to figure what is different - in this case, the Japanese version has "quintet" and the colors of the design have been transposed)

Yes, and unlike the photo above, it has a light minty green tint to it.

It's on the Moncur Mosaic Select, and it's on a 2-fer LP from the 70s.
