I feel the same way about that cardboard and heavy vinyl.

I might need a cigarette after.

I hear you, Al, the Thad Jones is on my wishlist, too. I have it on CD and I play it often. As a matter of fact: it’s a magnificent album 😉

I always assumed that cover was shot in Times Square, no?

Got to love that cover photo of the Thad Jones LP. I wonder where in NYC the photo is taken? Makes me dream of going there again. It’s been too long..

I believe that, indeed, Esquire was a licensing deal in which the cover art was not included. Small London label run by Carlo Krahmer and Peter Newbrook. The sound and pressings are apparently superior to the US counterparts, and many were issued in small runs of 500 pieces or less.

> and I think my collection isn’t complete until I get that record. But then, if I get it, there’s always another to remind me that the collection will never be complete…

There’s a pretty good book that goes over the various psychological impulses that motivate collectors named “To Have and To Hold” by Phillip Blom. My own take on record collecting: http://themysteriousyes.wordpress.com/2012/02/28/on-record-collecting/
