Comments and Reviews

Scratchy45 12th Jan 2024		Thank you fixbutte and KeithS :-) It's a very distinctive style.
fixbutte 12th Jan 2024		See also here: DISC Records David Stone Martin art Cover Album John Kirby & Orchestra. I've uploaded a detail from the cover where you discern the signature and added a clearer one of David Stone Martin for comparison, so your suspicion is also confirmed by the similarity.
KeithS SUBS 11th Jan 2024		David Stone Martin
Scratchy45 11th Jan 2024		Idle curiosity - might anyone know who the sleeve artist was? I can see what seems like a signature at the bottom, but can't make it out even with some digital jiggery-pokery. Is it David Stone Martin?
