Speaking of stamps on record jackets, anyone know what the small red sunrise stamp means that’s on some Riverside LPs? Or the CO86 I’ve seen on Verves?
Aaron: It’s wonderful that you mention the sunrise stamp. Way back in the early sixties, the very first new/used record store in San Francisco, a place called Sea Of Records, would put the stamp on the back of it’s used, budget, and generally discounted records (a lot of what you see now is the mono issues when they were discontinued to make way for stereo). These were always displayed in the basement. They were mostly Jazz, although the owner was partial to Classical. It’s good to hear that they’re still showing up. I’ve seen that stamp all over the world!
CO86 (86 old US is slang for get rid of))is another cut-out stamp, like NR and RW (and just about any other stamp you see on the back of a record). It was used to distinguish the discounted, discontinued (no return), cut-out merchandise from the full price stuff. Later of course, a hole punch or cut corner was used.
Aaron: I always thought that these “funny” half smiling sun stamps were only on my Riverside copies. I don’t like them at all. Quite disturbing.
The Verves: CO stands for cut-out, I would have thought. Why 86? I don’t know.
Dottore: I would be very happy to send pictures of these strange Blue Note labels. Now, since I am computer illitterate, could somebody give me clear guidance how to operate to get a picture on our site to be viewed by all. The alternative is to send an email to the dottore with attachments. (I know how to do that.) In the latter case I need his e-mail adress.
I just listened for the first time to a first pressing of Paul Chambers 1st Bassman on VeeJay. This is a really terrific LP. Yusef Lateef wrote all of the songs – perhaps I need to pay more attention to him. Others from the session are Curtis Fuller (trombone), Yusef Lateef (tenor), Tommy Turretine (trumpet), Wynton Kelly (piano) and Lex Humphries (drums – a new name for me). Check it out…
BigBear, you should definitely pay more attention to Lateef. A very gifted composer and even more impressive on his multiple instruments. Discovering him is absolutely rewarding.
.. I only would like to know if ‘someone’ has in his Videos jazz’Collections’ this live jazz festival from Fujitsu – Concerd -1994-.. where drummer–>Louie Bellson, plays in ”battle – drums” with -Jeff Hamilton.+.Lewis Nash.+.Gady Tate…..
Please, let me know if you can help me sending a ‘simple’ DVD-copy of the Festival,, or if you know ‘someone’ alse that (may)?? ..have the Video-programs…
Well, thanks for your ‘gentle’ helps .. Bye bye ..fabio .
I’m delighted to discover this site. I’ve got a collection of jazz LPs from the 1950’s that have been stored in my basement for decades. They include many Blue Note and Prestige rarities.
I finally decided to try marketing them and have been checking them out. Visually, they’re in amazingly good condition – both the LPs and the jackets – but there’s a slight musty odor. I’m wondering if anyone can tell me a way to “deodorize” them. Thanks!
Hello. It’s been a pleasure to discover this website and I’ve been checking it out over the past 4 or 5 months – it’s really helped out tremendously, so thanks a bunch!
I was also wondering if anyone out there has a copy of the following record they are wishing to sell:
Sam Lazar – ‘Space Flight’ on Argo (Stereo) LPS-4002 w/Grant Green, Willie Dixon and Chauncey Williams.
Must be in at least VG++ condition and must be STEREO. I am a HUGE FAN of Grant Green, so owning this would be a dream come true. I am based in London, UK – am willing to pay decently for a copy.
To Julie-welcome aboard!
Re:”musty odor”,I don’t know of anything short of playing them- and bringing them up out of the dank basement atmosphere-that would help. Besides,a “musty”smell seldom deters LP lovers-in fact,it adds to the record’s authenticity! On the other hand,if you’re talking about MOLD..good luck! Once THAT hits a cover,it’s a goner(although moldy vinyl will respond to a good cleaning).
I’m not a big-time collector, but I have a number of Jazz albums I originally purchased in the mid-’60’s that have sat un-played for at least 25 years. I am retired and trying to consolidate so I figured I might try selling these albums on eBay, but I’m a novice when it comes to defining the album and condition.
Is there a FAQ on guidelines I should pay special attention to? Also, I’ve glanced at the price guide listing here and wondered if this is a definitive list meaning any other albums by listed artists are not collectibles? And is eBay the best way to go? I have albums by Lateef, Monk, Handy, Desmond, Byrd, Getz, Blakely, Evans, and many more.
Hi Mike,
I’m another Mike around here.
The price guide here is a great tool but is not definitive. There is another resource(Popsike) which is less user friendly but has more listings. It is not necessarily definitive either though. Personally I would recommend finding someone in your area who can help you. Many shops sell on Consignment, if you aren’t interested in selling your collection. This will probably save you money, and definitely save you time. To get an idea of what they are worth, you can go through and grade them. Google “Goldmine record grading” and read that, this is the most common standard in the US and will allow you to compare prices. What area of the country/world are you in? You may be able to find someone here that could function as a consultant for you as well. Selling records on Ebay is actually pretty difficult/time consuming.
Dear Mike, you’re absolutely right in what you are saying, but I haven’t ever seen a store, that pays you anything, that really is near market value. Mostly there’s way more to earn, if you take the time and go into ebay.
Just my five cents.
Btw., it would be more comfortable to see you getting another name – in virtual life, of course 😉
I’m going to start posting under Mike F, since Mike is a very common name. I’m the frequent(and occasionally obnoxious) posting Mike. My name is actually Michel, but we already have one of those as well.
Anyway, my advice could be off but I think that selling on Ebay successfully requires a reputation that needs developing. That’s why I suggested finding someone to help you. I’ve only sold a handful of things on ebay though, so I’m no expert. I just no that if I see someone with 0 feedback and a M- record, I’m less likely to trust that than someone with more feedback/quality reputation. Even if someone on this list lives in his area, they may be willing to help him sell on ebay, help with the grading, etc.
Mike, I’d love to hear how it goes when you do sell the items. I know others would too.

julie: i would also use ebay, unless you have a friend that knows what it’s all about. The importent thing is to show good pictures, the more the better. Front cover, back cover and verry importend , the label, both A- and B- side.
Check popsike and ebay for the same records that you have,look how they discribe the specifics. And pay verry good attention to the writings on the label, the typeface, LP-numbers etc. One letter different and that could be the difference between a 1000 $ record or just a $50 record.
Also importend. The discription in the title of your ebay-listing. Use artist name, Album name, label name, album number and if you see a famous name between the side-men on the album, also use that in the title. In this way you have the biggest chance somebody will find your LP. If the discription is good, the bidders will do the rest for you.Good luck.
Julie: ha, i now see you only wanted to know about the “oder”… i say, leave it, it ads to the charme and authenticity….. unless ofcourse it’s so strong it makes people vomit….

There is a great Benny Golson interview on “The Checkout” podcast. For those who don’t know, it’s a podcast from WBGO Newark where the host Josh Jackson(a New Orleans native) interviews people in Jazz. usually it is contemporary artists. But this weeks interview with Benny Golson is great, that man can tell a great story. I’d listen to Golson talk for hours if I could.
here’s a great youtube video of 1 and a half hours of different live Coltrane, put together so you can listen for 90 min. without changin’… loved it
bit of Getz, bit of dolphy?.. etc…
Can You help me please to find year of issue of some Impulse reissues ?
The first one is Archie Shepp- Mama Too Tight,AS-9134, US repress with sport black labels with a red ring around the outer circumfrence, and the same jacket as the original.”A Product of ABC Records, Inc. New York, N.Y. 10019. Made in USA” written along the bottom of the label.
The second is French reissue of John Coltrane Ascension AS-95 with classic black and orange labels with catalog number A-95,Recorded by A.B.C. Records,Inc. U.S.A. and STEREO Ce disque peut étre utilisé avec on lecteur MONO at label and Made in France around the label bottom and in dead wax:Side A: AS 95 A 21 M6 269765 ,Side B: AS 95 B 21 M6 269766.

I wanted to let you all know that I’ve expanded my blog with a ‘Jazz Record Archive’, where I’ve posted pictures and info on a few dozen of my favorite jazz records. Although there is a US jazz section, the largest part is European Jazz, divided per country/region. Feel free to check it out at http://thejazzkid.tumblr.com/records
Does anyone have Dick Wetmore on Bethlehem BCP-1035? When playing my copy I’ve noticed a few clicks on the 2nd and 3rd tracks of side two. These clicks sound a lot more like bumping a microphone in the studio than noise. My copy is very nice and plays without any noise any where else(the nicest Bethlehem 10″ I have). So I was wondering if someone else could listen to there copy and see if the same clicks exist on theres or not. It’s not loud by any means, but I noticed it during the violin solo a few time.
Thanks
Here’s another Blue Note anomaly. I just picked up BLP 1528, Lexington on both sides with ear and RVG etched but deep groove only on 1 side and 61st address on back cover. Obvious later pressing indicators. But the record is a flat rim! I would imagine flat rims were the 1st thing to be discontinued. Very curious.
Thanks Russ, It sounded like someone was bumping a mic. Maybe with Dick’s bow arm. I do enjoy this record, I find it to be ahead of it’s time in a lot of ways.
Hello,
I just bought a Red Garland Album “The Artistry of Red Garland” (Prestige SMJ-9028-9 (M)). It’s a double Album, Japanese pressing.
Does anybody knows anything about it. I’ve searched the internet, but no info whatsoever…
Thanks

RE:Red Garland,this MAY be a listing of what you have on vinyl(here from a cd compilation).
VDJ-1591 Red Garland Artistry In Jazz
– Compiled by Yasukini Terashima
– From the albums: Soul Junction, When There Are Grey Skies, Bright And Breezy VIJ-135(LP), All Kinds Of Weather, The Nearness Of You, A Garland Of Red VIJ-236 (LP), Red In Bluesville, High Pressure, Hallelo-Y’all, Groovy
1) Hallelujah, 2) St. James Infirmary, 3) What’s New, 4) Summertime, 5) I’ve Got It Bad And That Ain’t Good (mono), 6) I’ve Got It Bad And That Ain’t Good (stereo), 7) The Nearness Of You, 8) Llittle Girl Blue, 9) St. Louis Blues, 10) What Is There To Say, 11) Everytime I Feel The Spirit, 12) C-Jam Blues
Does anyone know of a way to clean laminated LP covers? Is there a substance you use and would recommend? I found an original pressing of Sonny Rollins’ ‘Saxophone Colossus’ at a thrift store outside of Syracuse. Unfortunately, the disc is trashed. I would like to frame the cover, but it is kinda dirty.
Demco book cleaner works great on laminated covers. It is made basically for that purpose. I have only been able to get it direct though Demco but a 16 oz container goes a long way.
This has an orange stereo band across the top of the front cover and the “5 By 5” lettering is in orange. It has the same back slick as the mono pressing with catalogue number RLP 12-305 and the full liner notes along with two photos.
The label is deep groove with the catalogue number RS 12-9305
This has stereo printed discretely below the Riverside logo in the front and the “5 By 5” lettering is in turquoise. It has as a unique stereo back slick with catalogue number RLP 1150, a box describing “Riverside Stereophonic”, shorter notes and no photos of the band.
The label is deep groove with the catalogue number RLP 1150
Your first one has the small label so I believe that one is the first. Michel is our biggest Riverside expert, I think.
What confuses me is they both have the
“Bill Graur Productions Inc”, right? That’s usually the first thing I would look for as the earlier ones don’t say Inc.
I’ve never found a BN with such a detail, rare in other labels too.
being the first time, to my knowledge, it should have a bonus (small? high?), not a lower value.

Hi John,
No it hasn’t died!
Does anyone know of a way to clean laminated LP covers? Is there a substance you use and would recommend? I found an original pressing of Sonny Rollins’ ‘Saxophone Colossus’ at a thrift store outside of Syracuse. Unfortunately, the disc is trashed. I would like to frame the cover, but it is kinda dirty.
Bill: try 90% alcohol from a drugstore on humid absorbant cotton.
Demco book cleaner works great on laminated covers. It is made basically for that purpose. I have only been able to get it direct though Demco but a 16 oz container goes a long way.
I have two stereo copies of Thelonious Monk’s 5 by Monk by 5 on Riverside.
Can anyone tell me which one is the 1st pressing?
Stereo #1

This has an orange stereo band across the top of the front cover and the “5 By 5” lettering is in orange. It has the same back slick as the mono pressing with catalogue number RLP 12-305 and the full liner notes along with two photos.
The label is deep groove with the catalogue number RS 12-9305
Stereo #2

This has stereo printed discretely below the Riverside logo in the front and the “5 By 5” lettering is in turquoise. It has as a unique stereo back slick with catalogue number RLP 1150, a box describing “Riverside Stereophonic”, shorter notes and no photos of the band.

Your first one has the small label so I believe that one is the first. Michel is our biggest Riverside expert, I think.
What confuses me is they both have the
“Bill Graur Productions Inc”, right? That’s usually the first thing I would look for as the earlier ones don’t say Inc.
