Dan Morgenstern liner notes to "Stuff Smith Memorial Album"

[hopkins]

The title says it all - if you have a copy of this LP and a scanner would you be kind enough to scan the liner notes and post the image? I am curious to read them.

Thanks!

FWIW, then, and "for eternal reference" , here is the download of that pic.  (Click to enlarge and, if desired, click again with RH mouse button to open in new tab and enlarge yet a bit further.)

Thanks as well - had missed that listing searching for the album.

I used to find a lot of albums on the Internet Archive and lately it seems that I have had less luck - perhaps they removed some items?

The notes were interesting to read. I added them to my "online" collection - making them easy to read for those interested: https://storage.googleapis.com/cloudplayer/album.html#1779123281558

Do they remove items from the Internet Archive?

I really appreciate bringing these liner notes to our attention. I learned a lot about Stuff from them.

I wonder if we'll ever get another volume of Dan's writings (unlikely, I'd imagine, especially now that he's departed). Living With Jazz was an excellent anthology and covered a lot of ground, but this thread is a reminder of how much uncollected work is still out there.
