Rooster_Ties Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) Just saw an actual copy of this in an actual record-store bin last week (they wanted $25), and I couldn't believe Bennie Green had recorded for BN in the late 60's. Looking it up later, I was right, the album is from 1959. Never saw a date on the cover with the alternate design, so needless to say I was confused at the time. What's up with that? - and were there any other "alternate" Liberty designs in the late 60's (or early 70's) for BN dates from earlier in the label's history? Asking about straight-up reissues of single albums (with the exact same title), and with the exact same track-listings as the original, just with a different cover -- essentially a "repackaging" of an earlier album with a different design. Source of the alternate cover. Edited January 12, 2012 by Rooster_Ties Quote
Dan Gould Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 I like that cover, and yes, there was a discussion once about an alternative Soul Station cover, presumably issued around the same time. Iirc, the newly conceived photo was of a train station. I guess there's something to be said for literalism, but give me Walkin' and Talkin' with a hot chick in a short skirt any day! Quote
JSngry Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 Hadn't seen the BG one, but there's also covers for two Lou Donaldson covers, as well as the Mobley. Think there's a Grant Green, too. Who knows what else? Quote

mikeweil Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 I've never seen that Mobley cover, or the others - nice! Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 it was a liberty decsion, i dont know if was prompted by not bein able to have access to the old ones or pure liberty ad exec decision or what Quote
mikeweil Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 Well, it was the cover style they preferred at the time - if you look at new releases from those years ... Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 one of the best hank covers ever. Quote
