My first Shaw LP was "Reissued by Request" on RCA. Had a maroon cover. I remember the day I bought it. My friend said, "Who's that?" HA!
That green cover "September Song" on RCA Camden was likely the 2nd Shaw LP I bought.
What I didn't know until recently was that the LP had several alternate takes on it, so I grew up thinking that those were the original issues.

They are a good mixture of common LPs and harder to find LPs; great sound quality vs so-so sound quality; plus one of the best recreation in stereo LPs ever done. Best thing is, IIRC, there are no real duds in there...and Shaw had a couple duds in the 50s. He's got one that has a couple speaking 'romantic' dialog or song lyrics as the Shaw orchestra plays in the background. Awful.timbo wrote:collecting em saturday, hoping to find a few gems in amongst em!!!!

But no Shaw LP collection is complete w/o the great RCA issue of "A Man and His Dream" or "Reissued By Request" - same LP with different covers. Great sides perfectly programmed for your musical pleasure with several alternate takes.
Happy listening.
btw - if you hear something you don't like, don't give up on it too soon. Some things take a while to grow on you.

well, still working my way through em,found a few gems already.
one track i cant stop playing is on a joyce records disc called "film tracks of artie shaw"track 2 side one, called table d"hote (early 1939. its basically a talk through of what makes a swing song, hard to explain but the guy speaking(in a real cool hep way!) introduces the artie shaw layer by layer, describing whats happening, what the musicians are doing and it builds up to a great jumping sound, then into a helen forest track "i have eyes"!
gonna be giving this some play .............
got a couple of blue bird double disc duplicates, but im sure i will find a home for them somewhere. the guy has a room full of thousands of swing albums with some serious rarities, autographed album covers by some of the greats, unreleased acetate/promo discs and some real nice radio sessions on vinyl. im saving up and going back real soon.............

hey some of these vinyl albums are valued at ridiculous prices on
various collectors sites. cant be right, some are up at $300 plus????
the blue bird ones have decent prices as well and ive got others that appear to be worth $200 plus. must be wrong, not that im selling, or that i bought em for the wrong reason but i checked out of curiosity, these price must be a load of rubbish............ where do they get these valuations from??
i have some old northern soul viny worth a few bob but i didnt think the market for old swing stuff was the same.l
