I have found a copy of DJ C-1 on Clef black label deep groove with a red and white cover, similar to what you describe. I also cannot find any listing for these DJ samplers in the Clef or Norgran discography. There is a DJ C-2 shown on Discogs. https://www.discogs.com/Various-Untitled/release/6188155 which is similar to what I have with different songs of course. Hard to tie this down to a year of release. Info on Clef labels is not specific to years. These must be very rare, although I found this at a thrift.

Not a 10-inch. It was included in a collection that the previous owner had bought from a radio station. The cover is alternating blue & white stripes. The trumpeter logo is up top and reads “Norgran Records disc jockey copy DJ N-2”.

Each side lists the songs, the lps they’re, the artists, the time, and a brief review.

Side 1: Through for the Night/Johnny Hodges; Can’t Get You Out of My Mind/Charlie Ventura; Rails/Dizzy Gillespie; Pretty Little Girl/Johnny Hodges; It Never Entered My Mind/Bud Powell; Tornado/Sonny Criss; The Beat/Tommy Turk; Take Six/The Six

Side 2: Symphony/Benny Carter; Down ‘n Adam/Lester Young; Many Miles Away/Kenny Drew; Deep Purple/Buddy De Franco; Too Marvelous for Words; Lester Young; Blue Prelude/Charlie Ventura; Sunny Side of the Street/Johnny Hodges; Seems Like You Just Don’t Care/Dizzy Gillespie

Is this a 10-inch LP? Norgran 2 is The Dizzy Gillespie-Stan Getz Sextet. The tracks are It Don’t Mean A Thing, I Let A Song Go Out of My Heart, Exactly Like You, It’s The Talk of the Town. On my copy, it states clearly on the label that it’s The Dizzy Gillespie-Stan Getz Sextet. I also have a Clef/Verve/Norgran discography and don’t see any mention of a DJ N-2.
