A bit more info: [1] That cover would be a very nice image to have here! Martinevans123 (talk) 21:05, 10 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, unfortunately my cover is about 20% missing. 78.26 (I'm no IP, talk to me!) 21:12, 10 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
Haha, I know the feeling. But why 78:26?? ... surely 78:33 might better suit?! Martinevans123 (talk) 21:15, 10 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
78.26 is the precise rpm of "78s" in the United States for records after about 1928. See last paragraph under Gramophone record#Early speeds. 78.26 (I'm no IP, talk to me!) 21:20, 10 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
wow, what a purist! in awe... Martinevans123 (talk) 21:22, 10 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
nutcase is probably more accurate... 78.26 (I'm no IP, talk to me!) 21:24, 10 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
... nuts have a certain purity, I've always found. So glad to have bumped into you here. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:26, 10 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
Likewise! Thanks for your contributions. I've added some more sources, it's all I've got for now. The original album artwork is quite different than that pictured at brubeck.info. Should I take a picture of my damaged cover, hoping someone else will eventually have a better copy? I would appreciate it if you'd review the article again for accuracy and prose flow. Again, many thanks! 78.26 (I'm no IP, talk to me!) 01:51, 11 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
Well that image in the brubeck-info link above seems to be the only example on the internet. So your photo would be quite a bonus. Having said that, I guess the priority would be for an image of the cover of the original Fantasy label 10" version, an example of which is here. I guess that one could be used. (I see there are a few of these currently for sale on US eBay - note the red vinyl - groovy - one even on green vinyl!)Martinevans123 (talk) 18:56, 11 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
What a great addition! Well done. Looks great, even if a little "well-used" - and shows that there really is a record in there! Martinevans123 (talk)
Thanks! Fortunately the record is in considerably better shape than the jacket. 78.26 (I'm no IP, talk to me!) 09:13, 17 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
