Big Beat Steve Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 I am aware of the second series (with the six smaller cover pics) which was re-used for facsimile reissues in the 80s but I cannot recall the other one with the screaming teens. Probably not used for reissues because by then it appeared too "dated" to the execs. This kind of cover photos showing teens in various poses of ecstasy and/or partying was used widely in the 50s, it seems, e.g. on various R&B/R'n'R compilations on Savoy, as well as a cash-in attempt elsewhere for quite unlikely acts.

JSngry Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 I'm thinking it also made for a good display in the record stores. Somebody at Atlantic liked that idea once in a while. Remember the records with the paintings of the artist, Tonight At Noon, etc.? That was another series they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcrom Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 Captain John Handy with Kid Sheik's Storyville Ramblers - New Orleans and the Blues (RCA Victor stereo). The second of Handy's two RCA albums, from 1968. I can't imagine that either sold well, but this is really excellent New Orleans trad jazz - one of the Captain's finest albums.

paul secor Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 t I Ain't Got No Money (Flyright) Previously unissued and rare tracks from the Jay Miller archives. One is purportedly by a young Buddy Guy before he moved to Chicago. It may be, but I have some doubts, especially about the vocal. Whoever it is, the artist is certainly exciting.

Big Beat Steve Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 @MG: I cannot be sure about the origin of the photos but I do think these came from the US. Somehow the type of "bobbysoxers" does look familiar from other (US) photos from that period. Maybe a series of pics taken at an Elvis concert (hence the extreme emotion)? The French often had different covers for many of their domestically pressed, printed and released versions originating from the USA but the one you show must have been a relatively short-lived one. I have a relatively early French pressing of the Newport LP with the "other" (familiar) cover. And the Joe Turner "Rockin' The Blues" LP, for example, was first published in the US in 1958 and was also issued with that "crowd" cover in the UK on London.
