| | Good evening Phil
Thanks for the info.
Then I'll make a separate entry of mine. |

| | Hi lorangrecords, per my previous comments, Savoy Jazz labels with SJ Records, Inc. company credit at the perimeter are 1984 and later. Prior labels without Jazz and showing Arista Records, Inc. company credit are 1976 to the end of 1983, so your copy would fit into the Arista period and be the original 1978 release. I assume that Jazz was added to the label name because Arista sold the Savoy holdings to different companies, with the gospel catalogue going first to Prelude Records and then ultimately to Malaco Records in Jackson, Mississippi, where it remains to this day. The jazz/r &b catalogue is now owned by Concord Music Group. |

| | I think this release with Savoy Jazz on the label was released in the 1980's.
I have one without the word Jazz on the labels, which I guess is a 1978 release?
Does someone know for sure? |

| | Further digging through the trades brought up an article in Cashbox stating that Joe Fields of Muse Records finalised the deal to purchase Savoy's jazz and r&b catalogue just before New Years' Day 1984, so 1984 is the most likely date for the SJ pressing. I wonder now if I was too hasty in entering the 1978 release date here, because under Arista the label didn't have "Jazz" in its name, and the label design was the same except for that word, so do we consider them to be the same label or not? I tend towards "yes", but would that cause difficulties? |

| | I just happen to have an original Savoy release sheet showing this album in my possession, and it gives the release date as 28 June 1978. The reissue via SJ Records, Inc. is about 1983/1984, IIRC. |
