    Yeppers! And Michael Cuscuna hurried and rushed to get the very rare, special material out before the Connies and RVG's came to an end.
  2. Holy Ghost
    Miss this series along with the RVG's, and Deep Grooves. Era's that have ended, but wow, the material they brought back to life!

    The best Andrew Hill record of all time in my opinion. Period. For my wife,

    Makes sense. Columbia Pictures makes sense as Clive Davis was an excutive at CBS at the time (I don't know about the movies) and get the Columbia connection, but Novus I thought was RCA's 'advant garde' wing, kinda like 'Virgin Venture' was Virgin's. Nice insight, this is a interesting story, thank you all for your imput.

    That first sleeve is sick! Are those all people in that photo? Is that the orignal Freedom jacket?
  6. Holy Ghost
    This sleeve is badder-asser than the one I have. Murky it may be, but I love detective stories, and this one is a goodin'. Arista Novus? Wasn't that part of RCA or did Arista own RCA by then?
  7. Holy Ghost
    Lols, well yeah, the storm looked a whole lot nastier in the first Freedom sleeve, then the second Arista/Freedom sleeve. Cecil photo looks right for the time.

    But wasn't the Cowell originally a Polydor release? Then got a "Black Lion/Freedom" redo? Isn't this the original sleeve as it gets? Right, I keep on overlooking your point, Arista. Later Freedoms, right, and that art direction was consistent. Clive Davis ran Arista then, right? Makes sense now.

    Okay, why does the Shepp set look so different from the Hill jacket, Spiral? Like the Freedoms have a style, but the Shepp's don't look like the typical Freedoms. LIke the Hill does look like a typical Freedom: What's up with the weird inconsistencies? Like the Hemphill: Is this an original Freedom release? Love the music. I know that Dogan AD is not, is this another oddity Alan Bates label pick up?
  11. Holy Ghost
    That means that Freedom was an active label not just reissuing sessions?

    Okay. Then who's redesigning these sleeves??? Someone taking Patrick Roques's designs with no credit to him? This is an excellent pic, but Third Season was cut in '67, so Patrick Roques chose the right photo.
  13. Holy Ghost
    3 -... For instance, I consider Patrick Roques to have done even better Reid Miles covers than Reid Miles did. Huge Patrick Roques fan, so in the spirit of Reid Miles, but wow did he treat the Connoisseur series album artwork right. Patterns, Jackknife, Minor Move, gorgeous sleeves. Another favorite sleeve. Don't even know what Patrick Roques looks like.

    Get that, and probably you bought it at Peaches? The big record store in the '70's. I was still a kid in Florida, but loved that store including the record crates. So was Andrew Hill, Archie Shepp new Freedom label signs? Was this origianally on Freedom? How about this one?
  15. Holy Ghost
    This one: Over this one? Haven't compared, but the sound on the Freedom/Polydor is quite good.
