That cover, though puzzling, has always made me laugh because the woman pictured surely looks like a streetwalker. Yeah, that's it and even back in the 80s I thought it was crass.

She was Miss Holland! Apologies. Same name, so very possible, but if she was 18-21 in 1983 she's 59-62 today and the photo in that link looks quite a bit younger. Of course, it might not be a current pic. 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 For 25 years or so. She could have done a half a dozen things in between. Looks more like that younger photo than the other to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.D. Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 The plot thickens, because according to the always reliable Wikipedia nobody named Marie-José van der Laan was ever crowned Miss Holland. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_Nederland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejp626 Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Both look very interesting and I'll see about getting them through Dusty Groove. The bassist Neil Swason on the Shaw date is surely Neil Swainson, which makes this an even more compelling pick-up. He's been playing a fair bit locally these past few months, and I expect to see him this Wed. at the Rex and maybe again at the very end of the month.

Like Miss America and Miss USA. Or maybe it all a bunch of thuggery. Ok, reading the back of the LP closer still, it says that she's Miss Holland (WABBA), which turns out to indeed be a body building organization: https://www.wabbainternational.com/ Todd Barkan, please explain?

T.D. Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 (edited) Thanks. I can't f**g read, but otherwise I may not have totally lost my mind. 🙄I thought she looked like a bodybuilder. Per Wiki The national [non-bodybuilder] beauty pageant was called "Miss Holland" from 1950 until 1990. Edited March 12 by T.D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 The really weird part for me is what I assume to be a full-size bass. Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.D. Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 I agree there's a resemblance. But that Linked In pic looks too young (for an approx. 60-yo) unless it was taken a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, maybe good genetics, plus the health benefits of all that bodybuilding (which often involved collateral PED juicing 🤣). Probably is her. If so, kudos.

He was playing with Woody Shaw on that tour. He had no idea about this release and isn't getting paid anything. It's probably legal (a radio broadcast or something), but it isn't right. Anyway, he knows about it now and get in touch with them if he chooses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it makes me wonder, that musicians wouldn't check their credits via sites like Discogs (even if puting only his name into Google Neil Swainson's Discogs listing comes up quickly) regurarly .....

Yes, I was thinking the same earlier today when I was correcting one Discogs entry that had a lot of data wrong (including the album title!). The musicians should have some interest in how the record of their legacy is maintained online and Discogs, whether you like it or not, is the reference discography database.
