Jazz at the Pawnshop - LP

I have a copy that is "supposedly" an original. On the back of the album it says:

"Manufactured and Distributed by AudioSource"

It also says:

"Manufactured under license from Proprius Musik AB, Sweden. Prepared for release by Norman Olson and Jeffrey Weber. Half-speed mastering by Jack Hunt (JVC Cutting Center)"

The label on the LP is colored half orange and half white and all the liner notes are written in Swedish.

Would this be an original or a re-issue?

I have a two record album, red label proprius 7778-79. It says made in Sweden BIEM/ncb

I just got a current reissue of this for Christmas. Bloody good recording. I'm still not convinced this band swings though.

To Gdupont - what you have is the original issue "premium" version.

To Grimace - You're right - it is an excellent live recording of a slightly above average performance. More of a fun virtual reality experience than a great moment in music. That being said, there is some very good Scandinavian jazz out there.

And to Stanwal - I hope you kept one of every lp they distributed! A great catalog, whoever was behind Audiosource had a great ear. Whenever I see an LP with an Audiosource sticker on the back I buy it.

The original 1st pressing is the orange label with printing PROP 7778 on the dead wax, not handwriting.
