chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 It bothers me how places & spaces sits in between the BN 2-fer series in my collection- all the brown 2fers w/ places & spaces in the middle- well i looked at the spines and saw something interesting- the 2 fers have a "0798" nuber after the catalog number on lp jacket SPINE only--- places & spaces has a designation "0698"- just duke pearson it can happen w/ you. so i have o put it, out of catlog sequence but next to the other "0698" duke pearson, THEN the two-fers...........it makes sense to me- but my question is what do these secondary numbers represent in the catalogue? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 Arista did this too... 1998 (or $19.98) on the spine of Anthony Braxton "Four Four Orchestras." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 King did this too. Here's King's first LP from 1952 (10") The catalogue number is 295-1, with 295 being the price. The prefix was very variable; number two's number was 219-2. No image in discogs.

Big Beat Steve Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 6 hours ago, The Magnificent Goldberg said: King did this too. Here's King's first LP from 1952 (10") The catalogue number is 295-1, with 295 being the price. Nice detail about the pricing. FWIW, I have the French pressing of that particular LP: But back to the original question: Was this price info on the spine of those brownish BN "Re-Issue-Series" twofers really present all the time or only during a certain period? My Art Pepper and Horace Silver twofers, for example, have that "0798" mark on the spine but my Fats Navarro pressing (BN LA 607-H2) doesn't have it. All of them are US pressings. Neither does my Gerry Mulligan set (BST 84548 XCT / BN-LA-532-H2) have it, but though it looks US-ish the very small print says it is a German pressing. So no surprise ...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 The only one of those brown twofers I have is the Jazz Crusaders' Young rabbits. That's a US manufactured job and has no price on the spine. Grant Green's Live at the Lighthouse has bugger all on the spine, not even title or artist!

sidewinder Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 I have most of the ‘brown bag’ twofer series and don’t recall ever seeing a price on the spine. In the high-inflationary mid/late 70s it would have been valid for circa one day ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 In the /US, anyway, the brownbaggers have it on the tope end of the spine, just below the catalog number, The catalog number is in bold font, the 0798 is not, and might even be a point smaller.
