[edisonbaggins]

now this pic will come in handy!

..as evidence next time i'm berated by a friend or family member for having multiple versions of the same thing!

Wait til you see how many copies of Judy Collins Colours of the Day I have...
I really hope some of y'all need/want some of these extras!

I'll be more than thrilled to help you out there Baggy, but as you know, I've got to get a clean sounding CD-4 Demodulator before I dive too deeply into all that. I'm starting to think that the folks here that say CD-4 is no big deal for great results are either EXTREMELY LUCKY!!!, or perhaps totally deluding themselves. This 50+/- year old gear is a hit or miss proposition at best. Just hope I can "get lucky" real soooon!

Where's Involve when you really need them

Why two different covers, hermmm?!?!

Different labels, too.
(Doc is listed on both spines)

i bet Henry was pissed to see Doc photobombing his cover he'd so beautifully posed on his own for!!

either that or it represents a fine early example of Photoshopping before it had been invented!
its so good i can't see the join, can you? (no, not the join in Henry's hairdo!)

what do the labels look like?

The label for the die cut Doc-on-the-cover version is orange. Black label for the solo-Henry version.

tyvm for checking
black label an earlier press afaik?

 

[steelydave]

On the original pressings anyway, the Severinsen head was a kind of gatefold that opened up, I think with credits on the inside, so if you remove the gatefold you get the Mancini-only cover.

Severinsen left (or was dropped from) RCA after his 1973 album Rhapsody For Now! (available in quad from your friendly local Dutton Vocalion dealer) and ended up on Epic where he did a couple of jazz-funk LP's, Night Journey in 1976 and Brand New Thing in 1977.

RCA didn't start using those black labels until 1975 (or maybe 1976) so the non-Severinsen cover is a later reprint. I don't think you can say definitively why the Severinsen gatefold thing is missing, but I would presume it's either because Severinsen had left the label by that point and they wanted to promote the album as a Mancini-only thing, or it was just a cost-cutting measure not having to include the die-cut Severinsen cardboard overlay.

after 1973 he was known as Doc Severedhead.

i think i have 1 or 2 RCAs with beige kinda labels, maybe they were just faded orange

Sometimes you really make my day Freddie

I believe that's one on my list to pick up (along with a few more past titles to fill in), as soon as the new batch drops no pressure

I am not deluding myself and I have never been particularly lucky.

We all need some Love Licks!

ahh i'd run out of lickin' spittle after the first few disks

oy! i said disks ok! filthy minded quadraphilessss!

Did CD-4 work well for you from day 1?

(I've never had a CD-4 system with all the proper CD-4 items - CD-4 cart - CD-4 turntable (w/low capacitance tonearm wiring) - CD-4 demod, my CD-4 cart was removed in 1976 and I got a CD-4 turntable in 1982 and a good demod in 1992)

IMHO, the key to CD-4 is using all CD-4 equip and properly aligning the turntable.
