Is this the Japanese site I see what appears to be two records one has a flat end and the other round. Is this it?
Also I guess I know what my problem is now I have depth perception… They all appear the same to me. Any body here from New York City?

It’s kind of like deep groove in that records were manufactured one way and then upgraded later as technology improved.

Thanks but I did what you said they all look the same to me LOL
I have been away from collecting for around 12 years. The research that has gone into Blue Notes is really something. When I use to have the Japanese over years ago to buy records I really dont think they cared much or knew, they would buy everything . If I ever walked into Jimmy Daytons on 12 & Broadway NYC and told him I needed only Flat Edge Blue Notes he would laugh and throw me out. Well good luck in your collecting
Any other old labels with FLAT EDGE. I’m gonna figure this out yet

If you hold a flat edge record up to the light at an angle you can see that the record surface all the way to the edge is PERFECTLY flat. You can see the slight raised edge if you hold a standard groove guard record the same way. The 200g SV-P Classic Records Blue Notes were pressed with a flat edge if you want to see what it looks like.

Thanks Maarten kools. I understand but I am still confused. I have a Blue Note 1534 lex and I examined it with a later pressing 4177 nyc. On 1534 from the edge in there are 5 lines on the 4177 there are 3.
Oh well any body else with help.

With a safety-lip the edge of the record is thicker, so if you would stack the records on top of eachother, only the edge(because it is thicker then the rest of the vinyl) will touch the other records.

Blue Note lover from Sweden here. Was the LPs really factory sealed in 1957? I thought that was into the 60s they started with shrink wrap?

I don’t have a camera(except my phone which takes crap pictures) but I do recommend asking for pictures or a much much better solution if you want to seriously collect blue notes would be to check out Fred Cohen’s book reviewed on this site. It has very good pictures.

Do you own any 10″ Blue Notes(or any other label), these are highly likely to be a Flat Rim. Any records pressed in the 60’s onward are going to most likely have a safety lip.

Hope that helps.
