Australian Jazz Quintet At The Varsity Drag (1957 Mono DG RP)
A 1957 reissue of The Australian Jazz Quintet At The Varsity Drag on the second deep groove Bethlehem labels with boxed logos, used by the company January 1957 thru to the 1970's reissues. BLP-6012, originally released November 1956, was the last record issued on Bethlehem's first label and this issue was part of the first pressing run on the new labels. These are the exact same stampers used on the original pressing.
Pressed by Research Craft identified by the two patent numbers stamped in the dead wax run-outs. These are patents for the raised-ridge edges on LPs. This number is the reissued number to Research Craft, approved February 1955. The original US patent was sold to Capitol in 1956 and is the patent number for that company's "T-Rim" edge. The 'star' markings for mastering and pressing at Capitol Records Pressing Plant, Los Angeles appear to be a part of that sales contract.
