I don't know about that. I have found many Prestige pressings from the mid-60s, like the one you're talking about, that look absolutely terrible. Some of them have been practically new and still look terrible. "Orange peel" and bubbles in the vinyl are quite common for these pressings.

Yup obis are nice but I decided long ago I'm not going to drive myself nuts looking for them.  Had the same scenario with Lacy's "the wire" - had an opportunity some years ago to buy another copy with the OBI but at some point you gotta put a lid on the madness...at least a little bit ;)

Never :)

I've been enjoying my 78s so much that I've kept my turntable set up for those shellac discs for nearly a month now. I changed over to the LP setup today, and it's like discovering vinyl all over again. Tonight, so far:

Circle - Paris Concert (ECM). An old friend.

Jimmy Giuffre - 7 Pieces (Verve mono). Great music, but really softly mastered.

Sleepy Time Gal (Center). This excellent album of traditional New Orleans jazz has no leader or band name listed. It has been reissued in Jim Robinson's name, but it's really, in essence, The December Band, Volume 3. (Does that mean anything to anyone here? I'm probably speaking another language.) Anyway, it was recorded at the same 1965 concert which produced the two December Band albums on Jazz Crusade and GHB. Kid Thomas Valentine and Capt. John Handy are on board.

The Soul of Jazz (World Wide). A strange one, which I forgot I had - I came across it while thumbing through my LPs. There's no leader listed, but it seems to be organized by arranger Billy Ver Planck - and it's listed under his name in Michel Ruppli's Savoy discography. World Wide was apparently Savoy's early stereo subsidiary, lasting for about 20 albums.

The music is mostly self-conscious soul/gospel jazz, with corny heads and heavy backbeats. Four originals are credited to "Davis," whom I assume to be Ver Planck. But I enjoyed this immensely tonight, because the soloists are excellent. Joe Wilder, Bill Harris, Pepper Adams, and especially Bobby Jaspar and Eddie Costa are in great form. And George Duvivier's bass lines are worth a listen on their own.

A few more picks from my retired friends collection:

Lou Donaldson "quartet, quintet. Sextet" (blue note, Lexington)

Jutta Hipp "live at the hickory house vol.1" (blue note, Lexington) 

Kenny Burrell "introducing Kenny Burrell" (blue note, Lexington)

All 3 have marks, scuffs, and scratches but no skips and play surprisingly quite good!  These old blue notes are work horses and for $25 each I won't complain in the least considering the covers are all quite nice!

Roy Haynes "out of the afternoon" (impulse, mono am-par). Just picked this up for a pretty cheap price.  Now decisions have to be made..do I keep my old stereo "abc paramount" issue which is *slightly* cleaner?  The problems record nerds face...

Keep both and go for japanese YP-8552-AI by Nippon Columbia ;) ....
