CBID - The original cover of Chess LP-1480

CBID is never complete as new records and CDs appear and some old rarities are discovered. This section presents interesting additions and corrections to CBID.

Today: As already discussed in some blog posts here, the initial release of Chess LP-1480 was missing from the book - and all other discographies.

Chess LP-1480 • August 1963

As mentioned on pages 60-61 I said that the original pressing of this LP had a sticker on the front cover. It goes to show that actually the original very first issue of this album didn’t have the sticker but came with no titles printed on top. Also the label was the black label with the fancy gold Chess logo across the top (image page 60) and no song titles mentioned. So now finally we have the complete picture of this LP.
