It would also be a nice list of records to acquire…sadly I just have two of them.

Adamski that’s how I file my records as well. I even have jazz next to soul next to country next to rock…oh my! If I was to ever organize my albums I’d follow Gregory the Fish’s post.

Man O Man! You Anal Filers!! Just stick em on the shelves wherever, pull em out at random, spend the evening searching for one and discovering stuff you really need to listen to again. Chaos I hear you cry… complete disorder and confusion!!!
I can hear the sharp intake of breath as I write.
…It’s Fun! Try it!

I must confess the only section I keep together is the Impulse! recordings, a block of those oranges spines…just lovely, like Penguin book originals.

From the point of view of a discographer, Tenor Conclave and Wheelin’ and Dealin’ should be filed under “Prestige All Stars”.
Here is the complete list of Prestige All Stars albums:
Two trumpets: 7062
Tenor Conclave: 7074
All Night Long: 7073
All Day long: 7081
Earthy: 7102
Three Trumpets: 7092
Four Altos: 7116
OLIO: 7084
Two Guitars: 7119
Interplay for two ténors and two trumpets: 7112
Coolin’: NJ 8216
the Cats: NJ 8217
Modern Jazz Survey: Baritones and French Horns. 16-6
After Hours: 7118
Wheelin’ and Dealin’: 7131
Roots: NJ 8202
Just Wailin’: NJ 8211
Basie Reunion: 7147
Very Saxy: 7167.

For those who want to file on artist name, Tenor Conclave has two originals, penned by Hank Mobley (Bob’s Boys and Tenor Conclave), so the honours should go to Hank (even if the re-issue of Tenor Conclave, Prestige 7249 is issued, for commercial reasons, under Coltrane’s name.

All this hassle is unnecessary when filing by label and catalogue number.

in my collection, whoever is listed first (from top right to bottom left) on the album cover is who i file under, so i have several jj and kai albums under both musicians, and i have my original “newport rebels” under mingus, for example. the early prestiges are not really my main cup of tea, but if i had this record, it would be under mobley for the above reason.

I’m not much in agreement about your classification of the Conclave album (btw, always one of my favorites & never understood it’s relatively modest prices realized) – there are at least three and possibly four great tenors here, and I personally resist rating them to determine the place on my shelves – first listed almost always used – can’t really argue with anyone else’s classification system however, nor can I argue with calling Coltrane the greatest tenor

In regards to filing of Tenor Conclave I’m in the position of not yet having enough Blue Note or Prestige albums to justify not filing them by LP number. So for me it just gets filed as 7074. Hopefully down the line it’ll become a difficult task to remember where each artist lies and I’ll need to adjust to an artist filing system. In that case, this goes among the Coltrane’s (more because I own more of his albums than any of the other players).
