does anyone else have a mislabeled VeeJay Eric Dolphy memorial lp

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

my copy has side 2 label on side 1 and side 1 label on side two! i am clearly listening to jitterbug waltz but the label side says side two and i should be listening to alone together

and tyheres a pic on the inside foldout, i think dolphys playing a wurlitzer electric piano, no joking

When I was still a starter and wanted to purchase some Dolphy, I got a strange album from the obscure label "Trip Records". It had Jitterbug Waltz, Music Matador, Alone Together on it and was very short, and quite an ugly cover, bad pressing etc. Obviously a bootleg. Since I liked the music, I later purchased a CD with those tunes.

yes, this ones been passed around a lot

Trip Records was not a bootleg label (as far as I've ever heard). It was a cheapo reissue label that licensed many jazz reissues back in the 1970s. They were all over the place; poor pressings but great music.

yea- poor pressings but great music!!!!!!

what they lack in manufacturing, they make up for in content!

Yes - Trip did a lot of Mercury and Vee-Jay material - lots of VJ gospel stuff. Not boots, but cheapo pressings. I think Paul Winley had something to do with the firm.
