amusing discographical errors


Rosco

Recommended Posts

Years ago I saw a newspaper add for a record store that was having a sale on the Columbia Records jazz catalogue. Beneath a tiny reproduction of the cover of Erroll Garner's Concert by the Sea they had a line of type that read: EARL GARDNER--CONCEPT BY THE SEA.

Not discographical, but still funny (though not that funny).

the spelling on the cover of Sam Rivers' "Fuchsia Swing Song" is correct:

B000053SQ5.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

Yeah, but the colour is all wrong!

:g

I think we may have a arguement with the knitters on this

Item Name: Kureyon 148 Brown Fuschia Rust

Webster's Dictionary:

Fuchsia - any of a genius of decorative shrubs with long pendulous flowers; a vivid reddish purple. [Leonard Fuchs, a German botanist, 1501-1566]

Argument - a quarrel; a reason put forward in support of an assertion or opinion; discussion; dispute; theme of discourse

That Plants/Pants joke is nice: Reminds of George Shearing announcing numbers with "love" in the song title substituted by "lunch" ....

such as:

Lunch for Sale

Lunch Letters

My One And Only Lunch

Beautiful Lunch

All You Need Is Lunch

but what to make of:

I Lunch You

I Lunch America

Lunch Me Or Leave Me

I Lunch L.A. and My Fair Chipette

:lol:

How about "McCoy Turner" listed on piano on one of John Coltrane's early Impulse LPs...

My favorite typo, evidently since corrected in later editions, was on

Will Calhoun's Live at the Blue Note. McCoy Tyner's "Passion Dance"

was listed as Herbie Hancock's "Dolphin Dance." And the poor guy

who covered it in a Jazz Times corner piece evidently didn't know the

difference.

Another huge blooper was on The Paris All Stars: Homage to Charlie Parker.

The opening track was labeled "Birks' Works" and it was actually "Steeplechase."

Nearly every review I've seen of this release catches this error.

In a small CD/Record store I bought a cheap Duke Ellington CD.

As I was paying for it the cute young counter girl was laughing.

I asked why. She showed me the cover on the CD. The picture was of Count Basie.

Bob Crenshaw played bass on the front of "The Sidewinder", but Bob Cranshaw played on the back of it.

I always found it interesting that they didn't fix that in later pressings.

Incidentally I just received several albums by this mysterious "McCoy Turner", at

least according to the spines of six of his Milestone albums (current Universal reprints). <_<
