Big Beat Steve Posted December 1, 2025 Report Posted December 1, 2025 This is a wide shot, but I am giving it a try anyway ... At a recent clearout sale at a local record shop (each item priced at 1 EUR) I bought a copy of "New Orleans Jazz: The Twenties" on RBF 203-1 (Record Book and Film Sales - an offshoot of Folkways Records, released in 1964, not the 2-LP set but Vol. 1). Excellent condition, but the booklet is missing. The scans in the Discogs listing of this release unfortunately are hardly readable at all once they are printed out. So if there is anyone out there among you forumists who owns this record (or the 2-LPs set or the Folkways pressing which should have the same booklet) and would be prepared to send me a scan of the booklet I'd love to hear from you! Thanks a lot in advance! Quote
Niko Posted December 1, 2025 Report Posted December 1, 2025 (edited) On the Folkways homepage, you can download scans of the liner notes to many releases for free, including this one https://folkways.si.edu/new-orleans-jazz-the-twenties/ragtime/music/album/smithsonian Just scroll to "download liner notes"... It's a pretty amazing resource actually Edited December 1, 2025 by Niko Quote
Big Beat Steve Posted December 1, 2025 Author Report Posted December 1, 2025 (edited) Thanks very much, Niko! That's exactly what I was looking for. Printed out, cut to size, stapled and placed into the record jacket right away. That Folkways site really is amazing for this kind of info. Bookmarked now, not least of all to check if there are any other Folkways records on my shelves that are missing their booklet. (And to see what to look out for elsewhere ) Edited December 1, 2025 by Big Beat Steve Quote

Big Beat Steve Posted December 1, 2025 Author Report Posted December 1, 2025 (edited) I know, Colin, I have plenty of these sheet-type booklets in other Folkways LPs from the 50s and 60s. Except that the printouts of the scans from their site turn out somewhat smaller than the originals. Edited December 1, 2025 by Big Beat Steve Quote
