Very cool

Rare Columbia Blue label with noce interpretation by the early BG orchestra. Thank you!

You’re welcome! I find Goodman’s groups decent from the beginning to the end, but more so with his earlier things as with most jazz groups. I wouldn’t say Columbia blue labels are rare but they certainly uncommon compared to the regular labels and harder to find.

Its always a little unfortunate finding Columbia's like this, thinking its going to be a gorgeous Blue Wax 78, just for it to just be a blue label!

[@colonelbogeysfauxcow]

At first I didn’t really agree but looking back now I do remember thinking the same thing, because when I’ve found these blue label columbias in groups typically only one was a blue wax and the rest were black. So yeah it is a bit underwhelming to only find one blue wax out of a few.

why does the columbia logo look like that?
