Comments

Maybe 2nd issue in the middle 1950s, judging from:

label print is in silver colour, not in yellowish gold,
“Reeves-Fairchild Thermodynamic Margin Control” printed to the right of the spindle hole,
jacket sleeve is ordinary thick type, not a thin paper type,
and the latest album listed on the back of the cover is MG-25175.

Inside The Groove

Mister Wow-Wow trumpeter Clyde McCoy's nice swinging album, original Vogue recordings.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)
