interesting…the 50th anniversary promo stuff says David Glasser mastered it. I highly doubt they would have two different masters released at the same time, but who knows.I wonder if the dead.net one will too![]()
Yea--I think Glasser engineers but doesn't cut lacquers? Not 100% sure...but would make sense if CB cut lacquers from a remaster someone else did digitally.interesting…the 50th anniversary promo stuff says David Glasser mastered it.

And it seems like the SYEOR is just a red version on the 50th. Maybe CB just cut it?

Duke Ellington - Ellington at Newport
Like few records before or since, the 1956 set owes as much to context and circumstance as it does instrumental execution. Years prior to his appearance in Rhode Island, Ellington had suffered lackadaisical record sales and a falling out of the public eye, as bop and hard bop supplanted...mofi.com

Is it an all the way through seam split or just a cracking in the tip-on paper by the seam? Easy to fix with no visible impact.MD emailed me back about the seem split on In a Silent Way. They offered me a refund for credit, exchange (with no timeline of when it would be in stock), or $4 in credit. I replied back asking for $12-$15 in credit (30-40% of the cost). Hoping they agree.

I asked this a few days back but what glue is best for that? Just an old school Elmer's glue stick?Is it an all the way through seam split or just a cracking in the tip-on paper by the seam? Easy to fix with no visible impact.

Yeah, for me there's some that have a bit of damage on the spine, and as you are sliding the jacket into the sleeve it's almost impossible not to hit the frayed section and make it worse. So in those cases the better of two evils for me is to just tamp that part down with a little hope glue so it doesn't get any worse. But I haven't actually done it yetAn acid-free glue stick? Not sure if standard Elmer's is acid-free or not... I remember using some Elmer's for this at some point and there's still no discoloration after a few years (for a 2" split on a spine that didn't go through but I wanted to see if I could tame it a little). You can't even tell I did much on that one since a lot of the top layer had peeled away.
You can also get acid-free book binding cloth tape for the inside if ever the split goes through.
No repair will increase value and is likely to reduce it, but if we're at that point it's being done for personal reasons anyway.
No to glue. If it is a crack in the top or bottom seam, simply run a similar colored marker along the damaged part. The ink will seal it up good, and no one - even you - will know the difference.I asked this a few days back but what glue is best for that? Just an old school Elmer's glue stick?
I fix minor splits fairly regularly with a drop of white Elmer's glue on a paperclip. Separate the crack as much as possible without further tearing it (that is, lift up the "top flap" of the tear), spread a very light layer of glue with the paperclip, fold back down the flap and rub back and forth in place. I then sometimes but the jacket opening down on an upside down glass or something to keep the seam streatched slightly while the glue dries. If you lay the jacket flat immediately, the separated "top flap" is likely to pop right back up.An acid-free glue stick? Not sure if standard Elmer's is acid-free or not...
