4XB Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Now THAT would have been some fine cover for such innocent Westcoast music ... :D I d`nt think this is Chewy`s cover and for sure it`s not mine. Can`t find a picture of it, mine shows a river with a big bridge and a big city view on the behind. This in a nice blue colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted May 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 what do you mean the skylark label? was tampa a reissue label for that? please explain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Beat Steve Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I don't have the full story on hand but some of the tracks on "Jazz Americana" had originally been released on the Skylark label which was a slightly earlier Hollywood-based label that was in operation around 1954 but went bust pretty soon. Tampa took over the masters and issued them on its own label, sometimes even reissuing the original Skylark 10" LP's with the same contents but with new covers on its own label. The tracks by Oscar Moore, the Lighthouse All Stars, and "Babette" which was originally released under drummer George Redman's name on Skylark but later reappeared on Tampa under Bob Gordon's name (reissued on VSOP, BTW!) are some of those that had first been released by Skylark.
