In Reply to: RE: DSM covers- Hey Musetap posted by gonzo on May 19, 2016 at 10:21:53
At this point the list is outdated and I pretty much have been neglecting my DSM collection for the past couple years, so have only added about 15 pieces in that time frame. I keep ALL the DSM covers filed separate and the discs filed separate as I was working on a book of them for a while which fell through (with Taschen, their loss, and Chronicle, the first to pass) and, well, lost the wind from my sails. I invested a lot of $ (for me) on the project and haven't gathered the wherewithal to pursue.
All in a day's work!
The two books by Manek Daver cover 90% of the DSM covers, aren't really that good but at this point all we have for the best reference to DSM's record covers. Unfortunately they are long OOP and expensive.
I've loved DSM's cover work for decades, am fortunate to have what I have and to continue to (slowly) pursue the collection.
THANKS!

Hi Musetap. Have you ever seen an original DSM? Maybe you own one or two?
About 6 years ago I went to a daytime estate sale because I had seen on their site what looked like a reproduction of a famous Robert Johnson LP cover on Columbia Records. The LP cover was by Burt Goldblatt who did a lot of famous jazz LP covers.
I got to the sale about 4 hours early and was about sixth in line. The guy in front of me arrived 7 hours prior to the start of the sale. When we were let in as we walked up the inside stairs the guy in front of me reached up and quickly pulled a print off the wall. It was the actual art work for the LP cover. It had been marked at $60 and I was crestfallen.
I guess we all have our "the one that got away" stories and that is mine.
Still spinnin'...

Not sure if his son Tony has any but would imagine if anyone does it's him. There are LOTS of DSM prints (only have one) and other pieces usually available on eBay, some music related, others not. He was a prodigious working illustrator so there are many examples of his work in all types of settings: magazine and book covers, ads, posters, et al.
I'm happy with the record covers, BUT if I could find an original piece for, say, $60.00, well I'd be MIGHTY glad to add it to the collection.
I remember when you first posted about the Burt Golblatt and thinking how frustrating that must have been.
THAT is a truly iconic piece of recording history.
The dealer probably sold it to Eric Clapton!

He had arrived 7 hours prior to the start of the sale solely for that painting. He had also traveled 4 hours to get there. It turned out he was a collector/dealer of art by black artists. The family had earlier sold what they thought were the valuable pieces and missed that one.
Srill spinnin'...

I have showed up 3 hours in advance to put my name on a list, then went out for coffee. And I only did that after learning the hard way at estate sales in the bigger cities. I have never seen a list up here in Alaska, and showing up 30 minutes early to stand in line works fine. Only problem is that most people don't listen to jazz up here.
