This was the first: Then this one: Though it didn't have an Atlantic Records inner sleeve.

Josephine Tey: Brat Farrar

Sam Rivers: Contrasts

Otis Blue - Otis Redding Sings Soul

Those guys get around pretty good for a couple of old timers. They just played my neck of the woods in New York state a couple of weeks ago.

Andrew Hill: Black Fire

I sent this photo to a friend of mine and asked him how he'd like to do business with these gentlemen. His response was: "I'd count my fingers after shaking their hands!"

Illinois Jacquet: Swing's the Thing With my favorite version of "Harlem Nocturne".

Sonny Clark: My Conception

No mention by The Guardian of the Aristocrat label (which they originally co-owned and later owned totally) preceding Chess. NY Times obit: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/20/arts/music/phil-chess-dead.html

Ty Cobb Cagney and Lacey Public Enemy

Ornette Coleman Trio: Live at the "Golden Circle" Stockholm Volume One

Congrats to Cleveland. And it was good to see Toronto lose. Nothing against the rest of that team, but Donaldson and (especially) Bautista are a couple of arrogant poseurs, and it was good to see them leave empty handed. And it was satisfying to see Andrew Miller have a great ALCS. He's a class act.

Forgot that he played on the Charles Brown - Great record. Thanks for the reminder.

Not at all.

The Texas Tornados Hurricane Carter Lambert, Hendricks, & Ross

Bill O'Reilly O'Reilly at the Bar William Bendix

I agree.

Let's hope so.

Dexter Gordon: Doin' Allright

Perhaps the Yankees can trade Cashman for Miller.
