I have already talked about the history of Riverside reissues here in Japan sometime in last year in 2022.VICTOR MUSIC JAPAN has been reissuing almost all Riverside titles from 60’s upto 90’s. Many many titles indeed.BUT!Not many jazz collectors especially outside of Japan know that Polydor Japan also did reissue Riverside titles in the early…
This 3LP Box Set by King Record (released in the mid 80’s) is really unique and not many Jazz collectors know it.They compiled great Savoy sessions starting from Swing era, to Jazz vocals, Be Bop, Hard Bop to New Jazz era and put them in 3LPs.The selection of the songs was done by the legendary…
You maybe remember what I talked about DY NOT FOR SALE Series by King Record last time.This title,Bennie Green Back On The Sceneis also DY series, DY 5708-2.BUT!They never released it…I don’t know the reason why…King Record somehow dropped this title releasing it.

Lee Morgan Wynton Kelly Dizzy AtmosphereLee Morgan on trumpet but…the rest are from the Dizzy Gillespie Band as the album title goes.

Hi Takashi, the session tapes for that recording were done in 1949 and 1950, still the very early days for analogue tape and analogue tape recorders. Most likely recorded on an early Ampex machine.
The France pressing you have was the original release for that title in France. Since it has RVG stampers, the lacquer was cut in the US and shipped to France where pressing took place; 1959 to 1961. Do not know who did the plating (could have been US or if shipped fast enough, could have been done in France) prior to stamping. Not sure about the UK issue, but would guess that would be a bit later.
I have an orig US pressing of this title. Was also released as an OJC title in the US in the 1980s and as you noted, Victor Music issued this title in Japan.
