Does anyone have TOCJ-1610 Jimmy Smith Trio With L.D.?

HI -

I just picked this up, and it didn't come with an English translation of the liner notes on a fold-out like all the other TOCJs. Does your copy have one?

Thanks!

No, but the booklet has a paragraph of "Producer's Notes" by Michael Cuscuna in English. I don't think I've ever seen a TOCJ with an English translation of the liner notes. All the fold-outs I've seen have been reprints of the original English album notes. Since this album only has been released in Japan, there are no English liner notes to reproduce, and that's why we only get liner notes in Japanese this time, I suppose.

Yeah, you're right - that's what I meant to say

Yeah, that makes sense I suppose - I didn't think of that.

So just to be clear (cuz I'm having a lame-brain day ) - no fold out whatsoever present - correct?

Just wanna make sure my copy is not missing something (I'm a little particular, I know).

No fold-out!

I checked a couple of other TOCJs of Japan only albums, and they had no fold-outs either.

Your copy should have an obi strip to be complete though.

Thanks S.

Sorry to be thick-headed - good to know my cd is complete
