Is there a website with original liner notes from 1950's and 1960's jazz albums?

Question

I was given Thelonious Monk's "Complete Riverside Recordings" as a gift --a 15-disc set. The music is beyond description, but I would love to have the original liner notes that went with these albums when they were released in the 1950's and 1960's.

Answer 1

That's a good question and a sad problem for jazz and classical as liner notes are getting lost or not entered correctly into the "virtual" format world e.g. mp3





This link should be helpful it identifies each individual recording in your set. Now you'll have the info to search out each record on itunes or another site to see if they have the liner notes. Might seem weird but you could also check ebay for the original lps sometimes people post pictures of the original liner notes. Wish I could help more

Most of my CDs both include a publication or many times even a poster with all thei liner artwork/notes/lyrics/individual thank you and stuff on there. I relatively experience the ones always. I do not relatively care approximately it with downloads considering the entire downloads that I get are without cost and I many times grow to be purchasing a bodily reproduction of the album. There's honestly a few albums on iTunes that include a virtual publication MQ: Not relatively MQ2: I nonetheless like amassing 7" files MQ3: The time-journeying code from Futurama MQ4: I've constantly desired to, however there is not any regional list shops. I constantly spend as a lot time as I can in Best Buys with a well decision of CDs and Vinyls and I like watching on the load of seven" files at my regional Hot Topic. I used to be approximately to shop for a few, however I used to be in a rush the final time I went there.

I'd *love* to find such a site. I've tried, with no luck.

There is a book which has 50 of them. It's here:
