@Mac: I have several WLP’s from both the Ampar and ABC Paramount periods, but the white labels don’t have the line “Product of Ampar Record Corp” or “Product of ABC Paramount” printed on the bottom.

Mac, I’ve never seen one. Sorry, can’t be of any assistance.

A few questions re: Impulse white label promos …
Were any WLPs issued with the Am-Par 1st pressing label? How would one know if a WLP is a first or later pressing, or is it not possible to determine? What is the prevailing wisdom?

Excellent suggestion.

I tactfully send affordable “Buy it Now” links to my family and tell them it would make me much happier than a sweater I’ll not wear or DVD sets I’ll never watch. Works wonders 😉

I wish I knew more jazz nerds who would give me cool Xmas presents. I just got my friend a copy of a six eyed “Jazz Suite” by Art Blakey. Santa was good to him.

I listened to the three I bought mentioned above–all three were, to me, better than described. I listened through headphones and the VG+ sounded clear w/ minimal background noise, mostly very quiet. Very pleased w/ my purchases

@mikec in principle I agree because it is a phenomenal album but that original price, over a grand, is steep. That said $500+ is alot but certain Impulses seem to be on the rise value wise so it doesn’t surprise me if someone nabbed it for that lower than original price.

I personally think a promo of Love Supreme should go for a lot. There is usually only one or two copies a year that turn up on ebay.

Maybe the high price is related to the recent issue of vaulted Love Supreme material, including tracks with additional players (Shep I think).
