Must have been when Jelly Roll Morton built his time machine and single-handedly created jazz.

I do think I recall an episode where some musician is playing the vibes on a dinosaur ribcage.

DaveS — very funny. I think Fred Flintstone had an amazing collection of prehistoric jazz pressed on slate.

Oh come one, DaveS 😉 If you’re tong-in-cheekin’, and I sure hope you are, then please be a good sport and share that production run list with all of us. Don’t let one jokey remark bend you out of shape. I, for one, am super interested in that list of production runs by Fred Katz, so hey -nod, nod, wink, wink- any chance you can email it my way? manmatty[at]gmail[dot]com 😉

I am insulted to think that you doubt I called Fred Katz the renowned cellist and had a completely random conversation about Blue Note Labelography.

I spoke to Fred Katz again and he was totally gobsmacked that this sold for $1000.

He then proceeded to provide me a comprehesive list of the actual production runs of each BN release as well as actually sales numbers, by pressing (1st, 2nd, etc.).

I was going to share this with the group, but my pride has been wounded behind comprehension.

Indeed Michel, that Charlie Rouse album is beautiful! I have it as an original stereo pressing. I don’t know if the mono sounds better or not, but I couldn’t care less as the stereo pressing is already fantastic.

Hey DaveS-I’m pretty such Fred Katz never did a book on Blue Note labels. But then again,Fred Cohen could very well know how to play cello… he’s very talented!(Fred,please keep this comment in mind the next time I’m in your store).

Per Fred Katz, Mobley’s Workout in Mono was 63rd street on side 1. This one was NYC on both sides.
