MikeC: I have a 12×18 shelf I store them on. It sits on top of an old bookcase that stores my LP’s. I may have to get another one soon, I am just about out of room.

As the focus of Jazzcollector is especially first pressing Blue Note and Prestige, what are your thoughts on those who vilify Rudy Van Gelder’s mix? For example,(as quoted by Priestly in his biography), Mingus suggested that RVG “changes people’s sounds”. Others note that RVG was especially thin on the piano in his studio. Thoughts?

Thanks Rudolf for the clarification.

Thanks JOK, what kind of shelving or storage do you use for your 10 inch?

vinylzone: I noticed that one too. It is a regular pre-1959 issue. Nothing wrong with it, but not a first.
Geoff: not a UK recording but a UK edition of an album commissioned by Contemporary and recorded in NYC.

MikeC: Sometimes the 10 inch cover will be able to slide a sleeve inside, if so, I’ll put a protective sleeve inside. If not, I’ll put a protective sleeve on the outside and place the record inside a plastic sheet with the protective sleeve on the backside of the cover. I keep all my 10 inches separate from the long play (just for easier cataloging). Hope that helps.

Is there another contemporary label, I have Benny Golson New York Scene. The label is lime green and says that it is part of the Vogue label is this because it is a UK recording?

IMHO, that cover is not the original. I am, however, puzzled about how to treat/evaluate the combination of a First vinyl and a later cover – except that when selling one such, the fact clearly deserves mention.
