Not that much later I scored a copy of “Cracklin'” in nice shape. The cover is VG and the record plays EX. Nice find and I’m happy to have one of my most beloved jazz-albums as an original pressing!

If anyone wants to have a go at an iconic T-shirt for real, the Plastylite address, and the Lexington label extract are here as JPEGS in reasonably high definition.

London, those shirts are sweet! The curved microgroove one is truly awesome and I would pay good money for one of those. Do you have a high res JPG of that you could post? I might take it to a local shirt printer and see what he can do with it.

great job London!

there are some packages with cd and t-shirt (‘moanin’ f.e. ) , and here in amsterdam we have bn t-shirts with different
covers on them… i have one “unity” and “true blue” , there are about 15 different ones.
If you take a didital file of any picture, they can print it on tshirts at almost any copyshop…

I love this Easteregg – good sense of humor!
There were some licensed BN-shirts available with different cover-artwork and I can remember a Microgroove-logo-shirt which was cool.
And – I’ve never seen it again – there was a black shirt with fat letters “RVG in the dead wax”. I wanted to have it.
Happy easter to all!

Nice job,London! Might I be the first to suggest,however,that you may have way TOO much free time on your hands? Shouldn’t you be straightening things up around the house..you know,mate-Royal Wedding and all that?(lol)

I don’t know how but I think its possible to make a heat transfer from special photographic paper designed for T-shirt printing. I think I might try. In the meantime, check out this Easter Ebay “find”

Hopefully this doesn’t fall foul of any Jazz Collector etiquette, but I couldn’t resist a little session in photoshop about “Blue Note T-Shirts”
