it’s on the obi-stip, back bottom of the sleeve, the label itself, or stamped into the dead wax.

@tristin – that’s the blue note catalog number. we’re looking for the japanese catalog number. it will be something along the lines of “tocj-1234” (four letters, a dash, followed by four numbers). regardless, in japan, this title should not sell for over $50.00 usd, pre-owned. what it retailed for new is what your catalog number will tell us.

and yes, kinokuniya is a japanese retailer (primarily bookstores and groceries).

Geoffrey: so the Hot and Cool Blues is not a Rollins title, but one by Zoot replacing “Pathétique”. I wonder why.
Jepsen is the discography which I use most frequently, despite its shabby presentation. The pages are falling out and get loose. As a remedy, people I know have had the whole series professionally sew-bound with a linen hard cover.

Peter, I was gonna guess $40, but to the right buyer. You definitely have better sources than I do. Ha.

Tristan – check this site: https://microgroove.jp/bluenote-jpn/
It has a lot of information on the various Japanese Blue Note series.
It seems that your copy of Bud Powell dates from 1983-1988: Toshiba EMI era, part 2. I would say it’s worth around $25~30.

Rudolf–As I’m sure you know, “Symphonie Pathetique” is based on Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6 (Pathetique). I, too, had wondered if possibly Guilde du Jazz had renamed the tune, but why do that–why conceal “Symphonie Pathetique”? The questionable Guilde titles attributed to Rollins on the album are listed in the Zoo Sims discography (Arne Astrup, Denmark), so they relate to Sims, not Rollins. (Over the decades, an incredible number of discographies have been published in the jazz field, more so than in any form of music I know of. I do not have Jepsen. I looked at several volumes and found they were glue-bound, not sewn-bound, which would have made for a far-more-durable book.)

Hey all. Thanks so much for the answers!

Gregory the Fish, thanks for input. And I agree, I buy vinyl to listen! love it. It says Toshiba-EMI Limited. First price sticker on cover is from a store called Kinokuniya, which I can only assume is Japanese. I don’t think that means anything but throwing it out there!

Woody, Thanks for your thoughts! im playing around with those sites now.

bongohito, thanks! would that be the BLP 1503 number? that is all i am really seeing without opening.

thanks again to everyone! Again, just starting out on vinyl collecting and really digging it.

Geoffrey: of course, it is the Rollins side which is most interesting aspect of this Period album. If on 1204 the third tune is the Symphonie Pathétique, Jazztone has “Hot and Cool Blues. This tune is neither mentioned in Jepsen, nor in the excellent Sonny Rollins discography by Thorbjoern Sjoegren (Bidstrup, Denmark, 1993. I wonder what this track is all about. Could it be a re-naming of the Symphonie Pathétique or is it a new, unknown track?

Yes, Rudolf, there is an eight-track, 12-inch European Jazztone issue J-1243 “Sonny Rollins Quintet, Thad Jones Ensemble, Zoot Sims Quartet: Hot, Cool, Modern.” The three Jones tracks on the Period LP are complete on this Jazztone issue, but the Rollins tracks on this LP are: Sonnymoon for Two, Like Someone in Love, and Hot and Cool Blues. The two Zoot Sims listed tracks are: How Do I Love You, and Knotty Pine. Under the Zoot Sims discography, these two plus a Hot and Cool Blues and Like Someone in Love are attributed to Sims. The only issue of “Like Someone in Love” is shown as Guilde du Jazz J-1243. As we can see from the actual track listing on Period 1204, the Sims tracks are not included. Besides, I believe they were drawn from the Dawn label. Jazztone J-1243 was also issued in France by Guilde du Jazz as J-1243. I believe I may have a tape of this album. As we can see, there is some confusion as to who recorded what and what the original sources were.
