43 West 61st St. Blue Note address on back of LP covers.

[Dmitry]

This one is a bit of an oddity for me. I have only seen this address, 43 West 61st St. on back of Lp covers, not on the labels themselves. When was this address used by Blue Note? Peter Cook's Blue Note book doesn't cover that [no surprise there].

[Chuck Nessa]

How does the record sound? Is the music good?

Are you looking for an address to return the record? -_-

Actually I was thinking of sending a self-addressed stamped envelope for a catologue of currently available titles, but got a little confused with addresses.

I thought about sending one to Savoy once, just to see what would happen...

Labels with the 61st St. address do not exist (except for BN singles, I think). The confusion may be caused by Neil Umphred in one of the earlier editions of the Goldmine Jazz Record Guide. By mistake he mentioned the existence of the 61st St. label in that guide.

If he is, I run the forwarding center for all Blue Note returns. For the address, please pm!

Do you know when BN used this address on the covers? I guess it had to be after the West 63rd St. address

This answer is the typical reaction of some people regarding the "original first press" and other reissues debate. It reminds me a story i had with a record dealer in Paris. The guys sells 99 % of vinyl reissue. But sometimes he has originals. I entered in the shop and start to check: i found a Blue Note and was prepared to take it, when i ask "do you have some other vintage original pressings ? Then the guy got very angry "you... you are a.... collector" (he said that the same way he would have say "Nazi" or Pedophile") You.. you should now, as most of my customers do, that the music is much more important ! " Then i asked why that Blue Note original that i was willing to buy from him was priced at 120 €, and the OJC he had for sale were priced at 12... . I'm still waiting for the answer of this " music only" sincere lover.

Well... i understand that the question of an adress on a back cover, a deep groove or a framed cover has nothing to do with music in itself. But it has regarding to the history of jazz labels, jazz industry, and for the curiosity and pleasure of honest men. And thats enough to get interested in that. I know also that those 1,5 K for a record are insane, and that many collectors are not friendly people. But it does not prevent me from collecting, and being interested in that collection. Even if i can't afford those prices. The question of the quality of the artisitc work is the most important, but not the only subjetc of interest.

If the content is the most important, then we should scan all the paints of Vinci, Mondrian, Pollock, De Stael, put it on Google images and get rid of the originals...And also, let us forget about how it was painted, etc... we don't care !! Only the final result is important ! And also, lets burn all those useless original manuscrpit of Proust, Joyce or Steinbeck !! They all have been reissued !! Only the final result counts !!

Please, sincere music lovers : send me ALL your original pressings, and will gladly send you ALL my reissues. For you, it doesn't matter which adress is on back cover... PM ASAP for appointment.

All jackets starting with BLP 4022 (Duke Pearson - Profile) up to (around) BLP 4256 (Stanley Turrentine - The Spoiler) have the 61st St. address printed on the back. This site may help.

actually, that's Chuck Nessa's old address - from when he worked in the Garment District -
