Aaron and Doc thanks for heads up. Aaron, just a thought about your labelography, which is great.

Its always useful to have a picture of what the “real deal” look like . More often than not we come across the later reissues, I’m thinking like Milestone – blue, green, yellowandbrown,and “reddybrown” Its helpful to see what the more recent labels look like, if only so we know what to avoid.

New Jazz for example, the reissue labels look identical to the originals, apart from the catalogue number on the label changing to OJC Original Jazz Classics I assume.

The first pressing of Monk Misterioso was on the small reel & mic label. I have a Riverside labelography in progress on my site if you scroll to the bottom of this page: http://33rev.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=58&Itemid=68
Here’s Riverside blue labels in brief:
1957-58 Large Blue Label w/DG (no “Inc.” on bottom)
1958-60 Small Blue Label w/DG (no “Inc.” on bottom)
1960-63 Large Blue label, early w/DG, later w/o (“Inc.” on bottom of label)

Thank you very much Doctor Jazz!
I was wondering about the label size?
What kind of inner sleeves did Riverside use then?

Hi Jan,

When I search for New Jazz pressings I usually use “New Jazz 82*”.. if they included the catalogue number in the listing then it comes up.

Hope it helps.

…and as stated,”new” and “jazz” as search terms by themselves will narrow things down to a precious few (thousands)! (:>
