brownie Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 I had never seen that blue Cannonball Bohemia cover before. That one came out during the '60s on the Musidisc label in France. Musidisc was distributing the Savoy catalogue at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 I can speak somewhat for at least the early Ayler, in that when Fontana bought the Debut catalog, they changed the artwork on some titles. Later, Polydor/Philips bought Fontana and yet again some changes were made upon issuing the material for other markets. With respect to "My Name Is..." I believe that Fantasy leased the Fontana (nee Debut) recording for American distribution in the '60s, which probably stemmed from the strange relationship between Fantasy and Danish Debut (a fan-based label that originally licensed Mingus music in Denmark, though it became quite different a few years later). Fantasy and Musidisc/America were also in cahoots at that time, leading to the America pressing of "My Name Is Albert Ayler." America would have pressed the LP for France and Spain, Fontana/Philips for the UK and maybe Germany, and Fantasy for the US. Bird Notes was a tiny vanity label owned by Swedish saxophonist Bengt "Frippe" Nordstrom; in addition to Something Different, he also issued a (mostly) solo album entitled Natural Music and a super-tiny run of a Frippe-Don Cherry duet recording. In fact, someone showed me a provenance listing of the Frippe-Cherry LP, with under ten copies in existence and all of their whereabouts known at the time! The Swedish label Sonet reissued the Ayler later in the '60s, and I assume they shared the rights with GNP. DIW put it out in Japan in the '80s, as they did with Sonny's Time Now and a few other rare free jazz titles. This is to say nothing of the various bootlegs and leases of out-of-print material, which we all know is routinely messy and dubious. I find the early pressing/cover variants pretty fascinating on a lot of things. The Prestige/New Jazz/Esquire scene is rather hip; maybe sidewinder can illuminate us on some of his interesting Esquire finds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
