To JW: I also own several BN-LPs with different labels on each side. For me it sounds logic that records with 2 different labels are pressed on the edge from one period to the next. As far as I know the W63rd labels were used from 1958 to 1962, then came the NY labels, which occured from 1962 to 1966 so I assume your record was pressed later in 1962 and they used an old “leftover” label on side 2. It can also be assumed that they manufactered new stampers from time to time after one went worn out, so the side 2 stamper with the deep grove should be older than the “new” one on side 1.

I have a Sonny Rollins Vol. 2 BN 1558 with a similar situation going on. Side 1 is a New York non-deep groove label and Side 2 is a W 63rd deep groove label. How is that possible?

They had a pretty amazing week this week. I’ll do a post on it when I get a chance, which may not be for a day or so.

…I didn’t realize seller above had such a great week on e-bay so far ! Any time there are that many of those “too good to be true” NM copies pulling in top dollar all at once, I tend to get a bit suspicious after the infamous “Nautiluso” fraud. (Who knows, you may have dogged a bullet on this one yourself Bob !)

I added it up the buyer who bought this blue train bought $6,000 worth of records from this seller(including mobley 1550 &1560). He even won a don byrd from another auction I was watching. I won’t tell you which record I was the 2nd highest bidder, but I am just as happy holding onto my $ as if I won!
P.S. Now today I’m searching garage sales for one of those five blue trains, might take awhile.
