Yes, all the Compact Jazz series (and their cassette equivalents, "Walkman Jazz") have the same typography, similar cover designs (predominantly white backgrounds), and white CD trays.
Well that's still not a quantity of CDs beyond the bounds of reason to locate happily :)
Do any of the others in the Compact Jazz series not on this label have the same kind of packaging, or 'look' about them, so as to be identifiable, do you know?
Hi MM, that was the first batch from 1987; there was a second batch later in 1987 or early 1988 that gave second volumes to some of the artists, including "Dinah Washington Sings The Blues" and "Count Basie & Joe Williams", and I think Nina's volume came from another batch in 1989. I have the two Dinah's and the Basie/Williams, all manufactured by SKC in Korea for release in Australia (and probably elsewhere).
There's a very helpful list of all the CDs in this Compact Jazz series on the inside cover of this....
...Not all of them are Mercury label, so not much to add to my mercury "Atomic" collection, but the series as a whole is not very long, so quite do-able.... Which of course means, I'm now consciously hunting / collecting Compact Jazz CDs! :)
