Rudolf — I don’t have the New Jazz copy. That’s why selling the records off is so traumatic — someday you may want to look at those old Joe Goldberg liner notes, and then what . . . ?

Keep it coming! These rediscoverings are some of the best stuff I’ve read here since I’ve started following the site.

I kinda like stickers and names – as long as they’re not in half-inch marker on the front cover, etc. I like that the object has history. (Some stamp collectors insist that they are postmarked, to prove they were once actually in use.) A sealed record is of little interest to me.

and what an exciting cover too!
I never saw this album with a Bergenfield adress. When they decided to do a next pressing run, the re-wrapped the album and issued it in the New Jazz series # 8279. I recently sold that one and kept Prestige 7048.
What I did not like about the New Jazz were the liners, by Joe Goldberg I believe, describing Hank Mobley as the notoriously weaker player of them all.
