Good point; no idea

while I’m waiting for my BN book I would like to comment on 4059:I’ve recorded 3 different issues:side one deep groove only
side two deep groove only
double sided NO deep groove
we know that Plastylite did change equipments at this point and that no more deep groove should be issued.
what looks strange to me is that if new equipment was used for and from this number is the existence of side one OR side two deep grooved.
why half production deep grooved on side one and the other on side two ?
there weren’t thousands of copies to print.
using new equipment it seems logic to produce one kind only,even using old stampers for the other side.
any idea out there ?

mayby i didn’t see it or he just adjusted it: it says: this is a ‘second’ P pressing, so he iwas right all along

That is correct; coming from Fred I don’t believe he mis-wrote.

From my knowledge, the Kenny Drew, Undercurrent, Blue Note 4059 to be a 1st press should have:

47 West 63rd address with INC on label and NEW YORK USA address on cover
Deep-groove on side 2
Plastylite P (“ear”)
RVG stamped in dead wax
With a Laminated cover

This one says: no deep-groove on Side 2 – so, 2nd press.

Hope it helps.
