    My gut reaction is that those began to occur more frequently in the late 1960s and beyond?

    Most contemporary releases are CDs or downloads, which by the nature of the packaging means you are unable to read the liner notes until you purchase the item (and in the case of downloads there are typically no liner notes). If their purpose is to sell albums I'm not sure how that's supposed to work. Oops, I guess by contemporary you meant liner notes on the original older albums. Even then I find it hard to agree. Liner notes are often interesting, imo.

    Excellent music and playing, and (as always) excellent liner essay by Reinhard Goebel.

    Yeah, I don't read liner notes that were written for initial contemporary releases, as they by definition lack any critical perspective (they're meant to sell albums). I do read liner notes of historical reissues sometimes.

    Also the great record with Coleman Hawkins and Pee Wee Russell. And he was partly responsible for "The Sound of Jazz" the greatest jazz tv show ever. But I do remember some of his liner notes reading like they were just tossed off for the money.
