BruceH Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 I used to have that "giant white BN logo" poster up in the living room of the first apartment I moved into from home, Gardner Terrace, Allston, MA, lo these many years ago. Think I got it from one of those 'best of Blue Note' double-LP anthologies. Makes for a cool background. Quote

Time to put them on ebay, perhaps? Quote
felser Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 I've still got about 100 of the damn things from Pathe Macaroni ! Time to put them on ebay, perhaps? I'll buy one from you for my office. Really. The album is standard mid-60's BN hard bop, nothing more, nothing less. Not where you would start for Turrentine (that would be 'Thats Where Its At' and 'Sugar' in my book, then some of the older BN's), but nice to have, as are all standard mid-60's BN hard bop recordings. And I'm glad there are middle-aged white guys with beards pointing younger guys towards Blue Note stuff. We need more of them, not less. And I'm middle-aged and white and often have a beard, so it could have been me receiving the murder threats! Quote
Chas Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 Now, the Grant thing was part of a short-lived Liberty move to repackage some of the older BNs. Believe it or not, Soul Station was one of the ones that got a new cover. Along with wholesale redesigns , Liberty changed the tint on some of the covers too . I remember seeing a Liberty copy of Donald Byrd's Cat Walk with purple tinting instead of the original orange-red . Hancock's Empyrean Isles was another retinted Liberty , and there were others . I myself have never seen the redesigned covers for Mobley's Soul Station or Green's Grant's First Stand mentioned above , but I have come across this redesigned Grant Green cover : <====> Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 Liberty changed colors on Cat Walk and Empyrean Isles because they were cheap - they printed their jackets 4 color process and it was cheaper/easier to use one of the basic colors than convert the original PMS colors. The Liberty "train station" Soul Station was the first issue of this session in stereo, so I had both covers at one time. BTW that cover was a double exposure with a pic of Hank superimposed on the station. Quote

BTW that cover was a double exposure with a pic of Hank superimposed on the station. Why was this one never released in stereo ? (Roll Call and later were released) Thanks for information. I think i've seen Donaldson's "time is right" with redesigned cover, right ? Quote
Dan Gould Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 I saw the alternative Hank cover on ebay not too long ago, but a search of completed items didn't bring it up. They do pop up occasionally, if one really wants to see it. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 I think i've seen Donaldson's "time is right" with redesigned cover, right ? Yes, a red cover with an alarm clock. Lou's pic was superimposed on it. Quote

Isn't that effin' disgustin'!?!?!?!? Bet Reid puked when he saw it. MG Quote
Chas Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 Soul Station was one of the ones that got a new cover. Can't recall having seen that railroad tracks cover Quote

sidewinder Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) What a travesty to the original ! I wonder if it's 'electronically re-channelled' too? Edited October 25, 2006 by sidewinder Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted October 25, 2006 Author Report Posted October 25, 2006 IS THAT A NEW PHOTO OF HANK JUST FOR THAT COVER>>>>IT SEEMS TO BE IN COLOUR> WELL WAS THAT A STOCK PHOTO OR WHAT? WHY DIDNT THEY JUST DO FACIMILE BAD COPIES OF THE ORIG> COVERS INSTEAD OF NEW COVERS ALTOGETHER> YOU KNOW< LIUKE YOUVEE SEEN THOSE CHEAP FACIMLE CADET GENE AMMONS LPS, RIGHT> AND IM NOT TALKING ABOUT A KOREAN IMPORT FACIMILE COPIES YOU SEE OF INNA GADDA DIVIDA OR CLOSE TO THE EDGE Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted October 25, 2006 Author Report Posted October 25, 2006 ********WELL THEN TECHNICALLY, SHOULDNT THE COVER OF SOUL STATION SEEN IN THE STORES BE **THIS** TRAIN COVER AND NOT THE ORIG, SINCE THE TRAIN LP IS THE 1st STEREO ISSUE OF THE LP. ISNT THAT WHAT CHUCK NESSA SAID. WELL THEN IF THATS THE CASE THE TRAIN COVER SHOULD BE ON THE CD. Quote
Chas Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 I've also seen at least one Bennie Green with the different Liberty cover. I think i've seen Donaldson's "time is right" with redesigned cover, right ? Quote

ISNT THAT WHAT CHUCK NESSA SAID. WELL THEN IF THATS THE CASE THE TRAIN COVER SHOULD BE ON THE CD. Technically? Well, yes, but then every Connoisseur CD cover of sessions originally released in the 70s should look like this: Personally, I think the Liberty cover for Soul Station wasn't as bad as the others which have been posted here. Although I think it would have been better if it just showed the train station... Quote

Although I think it would have been better if it just showed the train station... Well, I think the LD takes the prize for absolute worst; the Bennie Green, while a bit too literal, does have somewhat of a "Blue Note" feel. The Hank is somewhere in between, imo. Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted October 25, 2006 Author Report Posted October 25, 2006 someone post the lou cover! i dont care what anyone says: Lilly Tomlin is H-O-T! Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted October 25, 2006 Author Report Posted October 25, 2006 FINE BY ME: MAYBE IF THEY DIDNT RE-DO THE COVERS THEY COULD HACK 3.99 OFF THE EXORBADANT PRICE OF THE CONNS, AS COMPARED w/ REGULAR BN REISSUES.... Quote
Daniel A Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 ...while a bit too literal... Much like this one: Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) someone post the lou cover! i dont care what anyone says: Lilly Tomlin is H-O-T! Did you mean this one? Chas posted it at #42. Lily Tomlin is FUNNY. But H-O-T? MG BTW, that's a Lou Donaldson photo I haven't seen eslewhere. Edited October 25, 2006 by The Magnificent Goldberg Quote
michel1969 Posted October 26, 2006 Report Posted October 26, 2006 See how those "new " covers look out of time compared to the beautiful, untemporal original Reid Miles !! I always have that feeling when i see them. Quote
michel1969 Posted October 26, 2006 Report Posted October 26, 2006 ...while a bit too literal... Much like this one: Well, this lonnie smith cover is fine. Flash is a little too much, anyway.... Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 26, 2006 Report Posted October 26, 2006 I always preferred the one on the back. Slouchin', open shirt collar - v greeasy! MG Quote
