Hello Allan,What confuses me is, according to Goldmine, this album (12-242) was pressed in 1957 and which seems a bit late for a flat edge. The first 12" Riverside was in 1955, 12-201, ie, 41 records earlier.
But I do have Prestige Davis Relaxin with flat edge which was pressed in 1957 (7129 vs. 7101, 128 records later).
I always wondered if these 12" flat edges were truly first pressings or just some auxillary run, like Blue Note deep grooves after the new machine was introduced.
Follow Ups:
I think you might be right about Riversides and Pretisges--I have a "Coltrane" that is flat edge and it's late 1957 too.But with Blue Notes there's no doubt--all of their records were pressed at Plastylie and once they went to the round edge they never went back.
Maybe Prestige and Riverside used more than one pressing company--makes sense to me.
In any case, three grand for this one is INSANE.
If I was the seller I would think 3k to be quite reasonable :)))Just picked up by accident a BN1502 Davis V. 2 with INC and 47 West 63rd NYC on both labels, Side 2 with deep groove, RVG, ear in dead wax, cover and sleeve with 43 West 61st St, New York 23 N.Y. What's odd to me is that it also has that mysterious 9M in the dead wax. I thought that came only on Blue Train.
And NOBODY--even Larry Cohn--has ANY idea what it means!!!
