Album Cover Trivia

[mgraham333]

Reid Miles was responsible for designing many album covers for Blue Note. Can you name an album where the man himself actually appears?

[AndrewHill]

I think in the reflection of the glass door taking a picture of Harold Vick on Steppin' Out:

yep!

[BruceH]

Wow, never even seen that album before.

[Chuck Nessa]

I believe the lp version of "One Night With Blue Note" included a picture of Miles in the booklet. Don't have it anymore but he did design the package.

[AndrewHill]

yep!

[Rooster_Ties]

An even bigger copy.

All right. Here's another album cover trivia question.

What 60s band usually had a man relieving himself on the cover?

(I'm going to need help posting the photos. I need to learn how to do that.)

I could answer that, but I won't because it might make me look "smarter" than I am. I opnly learned the answer recently, from a poster here.

Stereojack, otoh, owns this one!

[GA Russell]

I'm surprised that we haven't had an answer for this yet, especially from TTK!

I'll give it a little more time.

[Chuck Nessa]

I remember this from my days in retail.

[clifford_thornton]

The Who had one but maybe that's later...

Never really got 'into' Steppin' Out, but that may be at my own peril.

'Steppin' Out' is very good. Up there with the John Patton Blue Notes of that vintage. Recommended !

While we're impatiently waiting for the answer to this one how about another question.

How many exclamation points on are on the cover of Jackie McLean's "It's Time!"?

[Christiern]

What album cover shows a fairly large group of people, including almost the entire staff of Riverside Records?

Time's up! The answer is...

Baja Marimba Band!

As I recall, their first album did not have such a remarkable feature, but these albums did:

Rides Again

For Animals Only

Watch Out!

Maybe others as well.

He was usually in the background, back to the camera.

[Dan Gould]

I think I'll require proof.

On second thought, maybe not.

What 2 Blue Note albums have the same model wearing the same dress on the cover?

[GA Russell]

Till I figure out what to do, let's try this for the Baja Marimba Band.

How many exclamation points on are on the cover of Jackie McLean's "It's Time!"?

What album cover shows a fairly large group of people, including almost the entire staff of Riverside Records?

What 2 Blue Note albums have the same model wearing the same dress on the cover?

I guess time's up for this one, too.....

That's Ray Fowler (engineer) standing on the far left in grey suit. Sarah Cassey is seated, wearing an open jacket. Ken Deardoff (art dir.), Orrin Keepnews and Billie Wallington (George's wife, she was our Publicity Dir.) are also in there, somewhere, as am I (with a little girl between my legs).
