JOK – That is NOT an original – it’s the 3rd (or 4th) pressing with the later jacket. The original vinyl was red with a maroon and silver lable. On original cover, “Dexter” and “hot” were in red letters, and the cover did not have a box at the bottom. Awesome album though!

I opened my SEALED Early Miles, Red cover, I didnt expect Black and yellow label,but i did expect a inner sleeve and not to find lots of marks and finger prints on both sides of vinyl.Sleeve mint by the way. Win some lose some as they say.

Gregory the Fish: Thx for watching! I’d love to follow you if you decide to create a blog. The more channels/blogs/sites that our community shares, the better. There are not that many high-end jazz vinyl collectors that show their collections or write about it. I’m hoping that others show their rare pieces as well, especially on a YouTube channel. Keep watching! Cheers!

Fredrik, I didn’t even realize you had videos! When Al shared his giant score video I left a river of drool on my desk, and now I get to leave one every time you post a video! I watched your “informal jazz” video. That’s one of my most wanted. very jealous!

I’ve been thinking of starting a blog to document my collecting philosophy: spend little, buy often, cover condition is less important than vinyl condition. I’ve amassed a nice collection that didn’t break the bank using this philosophy, and i would love to be the drool-causer as opposed to the drool-leaver.

This was definitely not a SAM version, if it’s like what you describe. It was sealed and with “new releases.”

John: glad you like the videos! I hope someone else of the readers here would do the same and start a YouTube channel and show their pieces. To get a face behind the name is also great and more personal. Stay tuned. Cheers!

Rob: I totally agree that the Sam records reissues are very high quality!!
