Whilst shipping a few albums to a friend, amongst which : “THE CONGREGATION” -Johnny Griffin, Blue Note 1580, I notice to my great surprise 2 names on the 1580 art cover: Andy Warhol, hand written for the painting, and Reid Miles printed for the overall design.

Michel, a side effect of our discussion was that I pulled out the original 10″ Lps, reviewed my 2 versions of 7053, read Robert Levin’s liner on “We see Thelonious Monk”, the re-issue on Prestige 7245, with a fabulous Don Schlitten photo cover, and played for the first time the english version of 7053, on Esquire 32-109, with a lovely cover by Colin Duff.
Did I hear somebody mumble that these 2 Monk quintet sessions are over-represented in my collection?

“I think it is misleading information”.

Right. But it is incredible to see that someone who pays 2000 + for a record is not aware of that. It seems that the correct info is easy to find.

anyway, the fact that, according to Professeur Maréchal, Andy’s mother, or sister, or lover, has contributed the blue hand writing (nice as it is) to Reid Miles’ design, does not make the sleeve an Andy Warhol design.
I think it is misleading information.

I was just surprised to see en Ex 7153 copy sell for 710, and two weeks later, an VG copy of the same record and from the same seller for sells 2350. Seems illogical. But the seller Id is “Much more bounce”. An appropriate id in this case.

Paul Maréchal is a french University professor on artistic design. His book on “art sleeves and Andy Warhol” was just issued (early 2009).

Michel: The record WAS sold for 2350, and the one you are referring to in Jan. for 710. So there have been 2 sales, and now a third is coming up for a fixed price of 1399 or something. I never considered this one to be a hot item.

Now, what don’t you understand? I am curious.

The Maréchal story seems something worth to dig into. I dont know this gentleman. Will look in Wikepedia.
