What's Spinning

Cross post from the challenge thread:

Day 27: “Labels”- picture those immortal circular label designs

Kenny Dorham And The Jazz Prophets - S/T (His Masters Voice, 1957 First UK Sample/Promo 10" Pressing)


Decided to use todays challenge to highlight the legend that is....Nipper the dog. Nipper was from Bristol and gained his name from his habit of nipping on the back of peoples legs. He posed with the gramophone for the legendary painting which eventually became the logo for His Masters Voice (it still is, but in a more stylised version). Interestingly, Nipper's final resting place is a town I frequent (its where my local record store is), Kingston. He even has a street named after him, Nipper Street. This copy of Kenny Dorham And The Jazz Prophets is on the HMV label and was a promo/sample copy from the estate of Tony Hall.
