Abbey Is Blue

Recorded in New York; Spring and Fall, 1959. "BILL GRAUER PRODUCTIONS" without the presence of "INC." appears along the bottom of the small (92mm) blue/silver label which also has the deep groove. 'RIVERSIDE RECORDS are produced by BILL GRAUER PRODUCTIONS, Inc. 553 West 51st Street New York 19, N. Y.' appears on back of the sleeve. 'SPECTROSONIC High-Fidelity Engineering REEVES' appears on front of the sleeve, lower right. Catalog number shown as RLP 12-308 on center labels and the rear cover but as 12-308 on the front cover and the spine. The cover is similar for mono and stereo releases. On the front, the mono version has the label name and catalogue number at bottom right ("stereo" is still just visible along the top of the sleeve, upside-down), while the stereo has the equivalent information running along a strip at the top. On the back, the mono version has "High fidelity" at top left, under "Riverside", where the stereo version has the less ambiguous "stereophonic". The mono labels are blue, while the stereo labels are black, with "stereophonic" near the top.
