I have two copies of Icon LP-3 by New Orleans trumpeter Kid Thomas Valentine. The album is Sonnets From Algiers, with Volume II: Root, Bone and Marrow, Flower as a subtitle. One copy has gold labels on a black vinyl record. That one is in a black matte-finish cover with a Folkways-style front slick that extends over halfway around the back. (Some vinyl collectors will know what I'm talking about.) The front looks like this:

(Sorry I couldn't find a bigger usable picture.) The Jazzology reissue LP has a similar cover in blue.

The other copy has white labels on red vinyl. The cover, with more conventional front and back slicks, looks like this:

Does anyone know which is the original issue? I know that, given my "specializations" around here, I should know if anyone does, but I don't. And, of course, it doesn't affect my enjoyment of the music, but I'm enough of a record geek to be curious.
