Re: [ARSCLIST] jazz record covers

The Back O' Town LP was part of an early Riverside 12" reissue series.  The 12" series began around 1955 and ran concurrently with the label's first contemporary jazz series (Thelonious Monk, Randy Weston, etc.) sometime.  Anyway, there might be a more useful scan of the LP for your purposes here:

I'm pretty sure the LP in question was released in 1956.
