I always thought “RW” stood for Robert Weinstock.. like it was Bob Weinstock’s seal of approval or something.

heh.

Record Withdrawn (usually on Prestige/New Jazz titles).

It’s all basically the same thing – deleting the stock. I’m not sure if it’s always for as nefarious a purpose as Roulette’s shady accounting. I believe they were the first instance of ‘cut-out’, immediately sending titles into deletion mode to avoid paying royalties. There’s more detail there than I really can grasp business-wise.

Thanks for the N.R. description; excellent information as always.
Whilst on the subject, does anyone know what the “RW” stamp indicates?

I have a few records with “RW” stamped on the back.

Returns Welcome maybe…..??

Cheers,

Mike

I see… So “cut-out” doesn’t necessarily mean that a cover must have a drilled hole or a clipped off corner or something to be a “cut-out” then? “No Returns” means cut-out… I would have never guessed 😉

“No Returns” = cut-out indeed.

N.R. I have seen it quite often. I am not sure, but would have thought “No Retail”. Some sort of a cut-out thus.

That Mobley looks superb, but we’re already look at more than 2,000 bucks, so I can forget about bidding.

Does anyone know what the stamp on the back cover of that 1568 stands for? The abbreviation “N.R.” doesn’t ring a bell here. I’ve seen ’em on other records offered on eBay before.

The seller of that Cracklin’ is reliable – as advertised (or better) LPs. I see they’ve got a 1568 up with “47 W. 63rd” labels on both sides. It’s a nice copy so I’m sure it’ll get “there.”

Agreed about the tape on the Woods – it’s an excellent record that I’d love to have an original of in good nick. A lot of people don’t seem all that psyched on Phil Woods’ playing, but the records I have are all wonderful.

There appears to be a nice copy of Cracklin’ at Dusty Groove right now..
