To Bob. Yes, that was my point. It would have been nice if they had pointed this out on the broadcast. Sorry if I was being a bit presumptive, just assumed the JC audience knew that.

a note on the Brubeck giveaway. Brubeck did not write Take Five, Desmond did.

Sorry, my error, the lighting made it look like a one sided DG on my computer. Am still wondering about the 61st covers & when they were first introduced if anyone has any knowledge on this.

“Euclid just sold a Lou Donaldson ‘Time is Right’ that had a one sided DG & a 61st cover for 810$”.

This is the quote of Micheal People : if it was ONE SIDED as he describes, it wan not an original. If it was TWO sides DG, yes it was.

The Lou Donaldson that Euclid sold for $810 was DG both sides, 47 West 63rd labels, ear etched and r on the bottom: is it not an original? I thought those were the attributes of an original from that period.

Well this Lou Donaldson was not a first… but it was from Euclirecords…
I don’t know when the one sided DG reissue started. I know that Bobby Hutcherson’s Dialogue was reissued with DG one side…Maybe Lary Cohn is around and will answer all those question, and probably more…

Do you have any idea when they started the one sided DG for reissues? I checked a few of mine & I have a ‘Sounds of Jimmy Smith’ with this one sided DG with a inner sleeve from 1965. I checked my ‘Out to Lunch’ & it is flat on both sides & the corresponding BNs both are flat. Euclid just sold a Lou Donaldson ‘Time is Right’ that had a one sided DG & a 61st cover for 810$. Any idea when they switched to 61st covers? Thank you

Interesting information, Michel. So what would a first pressing of OUT TO LUNCH be? Deep-groove on both sides, or on neither?

Blue Note was using older stamp machines (with DG) to repress some titles. In this case, DG on one side does not significate first pressing. But the highest bidder will probably not even know and not even care…
