Hi everyone,
as I've mentioned elsewhere, I sometimes spend some time reworking scans of old record covers (David Stone Martin, Alex Steinweiss and some others).
The problem I have is that sometimes I cannot find a source anywhere (book, Internet) to check if a cover was originally white or another tone, for example off-white, beige, etc. I'd like to get as close to the original as possible.
So, I started this thread to basically check with you if you can help me out.
I'll start with the first one:
Cover 01: White or Not? ..... Johnny Hodges. Creamy. 1955. (The name would suggest another tone).
Thanks for your help.
Edit: Attached file is a small copy of one of three versions I made (this is the white one).
-
Thanks for the info and the links.
I'll go and check that out ... now.

Snap. Crackle. Pop.

Zenphoto is best. I've used it for a ton of sites. The people who took over this project from the guy who originally programmed it are very dedicated to updating, improving and expanding the program code. You have to run it on your own server or a hosted one though.
Picasa is limited to 1 GB, as far as I remember.
If you have more photos you want on it, you have to pay.
If you set an album to "private" (or whatever they call it over there, can't remember right now), only those people who have the link to it can see the photos. Others have no way of accessing the album(s). I have some albums over there and they are well-protected. Works.

There are no art/graphics credits on my copy of the record - nothing on the back, and no (visible) signature on the front.
I'm guessing it was done in-house.
BTW, Ken Nordine provides the narration between selections.
Thank you very much for checking!!!
And, I knew about Ken Nordine.I have actually collected (=downloaded from the Internet) quite a few covers of LPs on which he does the narrating, especially the "Jazz Word" LPs that often have great covers.

Hi everyone,
whenever I have to turn my mind off completely for one reason or another, I sit and rework crummy scans of classic LP covers (David Stone Martin, Alex Steinweiss, any LP with graphics on it and ... old). It's a strange way of relaxing, but it works.
I've recently been working on the cover of this LP:
It's got some totally generic space art, but I was wondering if the artist is credited anywhere. I found a few bad scans of the back of the cover and I couldn't make out any attribution.
Just in case ... does anyone know who drew the cover for this one (my guess it was some contracted or in-house artist that never got his name mentioned).
Thanks for looking.

I think it's hilarious what just happened over on the Steve Hoffman forums. Someone who does publishing for a living commented that he felt the artwork, both the cover scans as well as the typography, could have been done better. After two days of pretty interesting comments wondering if Audio Wave was trying for something different and then today *poof*... all gone. Scrubbed for your benefit.
Joe, I hope you'll read this and maybe give us a comment. No matter how you slice it, poster deanswift58 had some very credible points, particularly about the quality of the cover scans, with actual pictures to highlight what he felt could have been done better. I didn't think it was that negative. In fact, it seemed like he was offering up his professional help, going so far as letting you know he'd do it for free. I really hope you didn't ask for that mass deletion.
Kevin
Typical for the Hoffman forums. Also, deanswift58 has more talent and technical ability than the whole original team has in their big toes. If you had a chance to study his versions that he had a) up and b) offered to let them have for free (templates) you could study into how much detail he went to get the covers, tray inlets etc. right.
I hardly go over to the Hoffman forums anymore because that (constant) deleting of parts of threads, posts and whole topics is infuriating and confusing. There are too many spineless idiots on that forum who would probably have had a much more enjoyable time had they been born into the Russia under Stalin's rule. And then there are all the other idiots who don't listen to music but just stare at waveforms all day. Idiocy is totally rampant over there.

Thanks, I have adjusted my eyeglasses
I refuse to wear mine.
Do like me, order a lot of stuff from marketplace dealers and learn to instinctively click on the right link!
You won't have to put your glasses on ever again (unless you plan on reading the liner notes in font size 3).

You have to look below the Amazon price at "New from ...". It's still there from Newbury Comics!

I had 5 minutes ...
I love it! I am flattered that you would put in the time to create this!
Welcome.
It was one of those sleepless nights and that cover and one or two more kept me busy.

Depending on the size of the fragment, I'd be just a tiny bit more creative:
Bricole:
1. Sprinkle parsley, basil, chopped garlic, salt, pepper, and a generous amount of grated romano or parmesan cheese on meat piece(s).
2. Spread 1 ounce Italian sausage on meat pieces; roll and hold together with toothpicks.
3. Cook in oven with meatballs and sausage. Then simmer in sauce 2-3 hours. The longer you simmer, the more tender the meat.
... or just with some fava beans and a nice Chianti ... if you're short on time.

Been alternating between the Chu Berry Columbia/Victor Sessions and the Bobby Hackett Solo Sessions for nearly 16 hours today.

b) At the end of the 60s (born in '62) I was listening to Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Harry James and Lionel Hampton as well as Dave Brubeck and George Shearing. There were hundreds of other artists in my dad's collection, but the ones above were regulars on the weird turntable we had when I got to choose.
BTW: I never really ventured forward, I just dug deeper. 1969 is a sort of magical line I hardly ever cross (unless it's got a classic, "traditional" tone to it). The more "adventurous" (free) jazz I never developed a feel for (although I do give it a try once in a while). Ellington was adventurous enough for me and I think I need another 100 years just to take in everything he left us.

I often wonder of the Cole fragment was ever used. Anyone know?
Maybe someone had it for lunch?

The old CBS 1989 CD clocks in at 5:09.
The 2003 Avid at 5:14.
The problem with all these numbers is that just about everyone cut the applause differently.
Of course, Schaap was the master at this by actually buying applause and assorted audience noise on eBay at discount prices, I think.
-
I'm preparing a post for my small site on the various Carnegie Hall reissues because I've had a lengthy discussion with my dad about the various versions and because a reader of mine asked about the Schaap one.
I'll be comparing the CBS 1989, the Schaap and the two Avids (I had the 2003 Avid reissue and am waiting for the later one that I just ordered and that's complete and has totally different bonus material).
The one I don't have is the Disconforme reissue but know from this thread and other posts around O. that several people have that one.
I'm looking for someone who maybe had the chance to compare the Disconforme and Avid reissues and can comment on the sound of both and any other similarities/differences.
Like many people here and elsewhere, I think so far the Avid reissue(s) are the best compromise until we get a definitive reissue of this landmark concert but not having heard the Spanish rip-off reissue I'd like some more input on that, if possible.
Thanks!

Hey guys, check out this Amazon box set "sale":
Stan Getz - Complete Roost Recordings
Only $11,776.48 + $2.98 shipping
:crazy: That is just fucking insane, it has to be some kind of typo.
I feel like such an idiot for selling mine for $9284.14 w/ free shipping.
I got mine about two weeks ago (no kidding) for around 10 Euro, used. Had to buy new jewel cases because they were broken. CDs as new.
You rrrreeeeaaaaly went over the top with those 14 cents there! You could have rounded it up to $9500 ... for those extra few crates of beer that we all need to have around the house.
-
Don't want to ruin it for anybody, but I loved those three first Gustavsen CDs and HATE the new one. Make sure to check out that new release before you plunk down your hard-earned cash for concert promoting it. It's a very different animal.

You're right, Niko!
The Jazz in Paris catalogue I checked listed all the JinP releases until nr. 101.
That's the one I have for download on that JiP page on my site (top of the page), isn't it?
The document I have says "Jazzman - Le Journal de tous les jazz" on it (front page). It starts with a timeline reaching from 1923 to 1970 by Alain Tercinet and then briefly lists all of the Cds up to number 101 with cover, track listing, personnel and recording date(s). The last page then shows the large 75-CD box and announces the (then) "last" 19 CDs in the series from #83 to #101.
P.S.: I've included the "Belgium" box on my list
Volkher, this is the cover of the Jazz in Paris DeLuxe edition (12 CDs):
It shows as available from a vendor at amazon.fr. for 170 euros. That's nearly 240 greenbacks plus shipping!

Thanks, Greg.
Had never seen that one.
[Edit: And after not having read this whole thread in ages, just noticed that it was talked about here when it came out].

However the books that go with them are priceless!
Absolutely! I remember buying these four boxed sets from Caiman at some laughable price that time and the books in those boxes were worth that money and more to me.
I usually remove all the CDs from boxed sets and, if removable, keep the books and booklets in a cupboard in the living room. To be quite honest, there they usually .... just sit. And that's it.
Those four JiP boxed set books I take out regularly just for fun.
They are just nice books with lots of great photos and scans.
-
Never seen any without.
And yes, Caiman it was.
[Edit: BTW: That image above doesn't show up for me. It just says (text): "Posted image".]
it was the photo jip 0021 in the 4th row (from the top) of your Jazz in Paris gallery.
Ah, OK.
Strange that I, of all people, can't see that.
I've added the "From Belgium with Love" boxed set to my page.
White or Not? Vintage LP covers ...

Yes, Guy, that's the problem.
I also have a reworked original cover, but there's no telling what the original color was. The best scan I could find (years ago) was an off-whitish/beige color of a copy that had been kept sealed for ages. But it wasn't white. I even contacted the guy and he couldn't tell me (and wasn't about to unseal it).
When I look at Verve etc. reissues, they almost always go with white although I'm not sure if they decided to change that for the reissue (and that goes for a lot of David Stone Martin covers ... Hamp/Getz, some Peterson ones, etc. ... they're all white in their reissue forms but I have my doubt they were like that ... or that clean and often sterile a white -- in their original form).
Another example of what I mean is this one (working on that on and off at the moment). This is the original before I went at it:
