A Lark Ascending Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Some fantastic - and nostalgic - album art from the 50s here : British Jazz Album Art Lots of other album art as well. Thanks, Jazzjet. Doesn't become properly nostalgic for me until about 2/3rds down. But fascinating nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillF Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 (edited) Thanks for that, Jazzjet. Loads of nostalgia there! Used to have Brilliant Corners with the "British" cover, but lent it to someone and you know the rest! Nice to see that the Tubby Hayes Return Visit and Late Spot at Scott's, which I bought on CD not long ago, preserve the original covers. Fifties' design, as in the New Orleans to London cover, which I deplored at the time as being unhip in the age of the Blue Note cover, now seems very attractive and characterful. The chronological order of the display gives a real sense of how things went. Unlike Bev, it's only with the last third that I feel out of touch. A question of which generation you belong to, I suppose! Edited October 12, 2009 by BillF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzjet Posted October 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Thanks Jazzjet! I had four: Mike Westbrook - Marching Song Mike Westbrook - Love Songs Elton Dean John Stevens - Chemistry The disturbing thing for me was how many of them I USED to have but subsequently sold, only to find out later how valuable they would become.

sidewinder Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Quick count says I have 51 of them.. :blush2: Nice to see that Phil Seaman Verve LP on there. That one doesn't come up too often (recorded at the Bulls Head in Barnes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillF Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 (recorded at the Bulls Head in Barnes). ... which, of course, I frequented. Particularly remember hearing Dick Morrisey there. Much more recently, I recall Humphrey Lyttelton reporting that residents of new apartments near the Bull's Head had sought a court order forbidding music, but that sanity had prevailed. Anyone have details of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Last I heard it got resolved - they are certainly still actively hosting gigs. In fact I have never been there so with another London visit coming up I may pay a call. I've got the feeling Art Themen is playing there next week so may check it out. That Dick Morrissey 'Storm Warning' LP on Mercury was recorded at the Bulls Head I believe. Would like a copy of that one ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a fine LP under Jimmy Witherspoon's name ( 'Spoon Sings and Swings' ) recorded at the Bulls Head with Dick Morrissey and Phil Seaman. It really cooks. Will swap for 'Storm Warning'!
