Needles & Grooves AotM /// Vol. 35 - May 2022 /// Kenny Burrell - Midnight Blue

[Fleetwood-Matt]

What about Johnny Griffen - “Introducing Johnny Griffen”

If we count Griffen as an animal and Roach, then we got Johnny Griffen and Max Roach playing on it and produced by Alfred Lion

Wolff did the photography on that and many other Blue Notes, too. So that's a good possibility!

 

[NewsFedora]

Time for a new hint me thinks

Thinking about that first pic, though. An inkwell, quill and ink... a signing involving a lion? Lion Sign? Leo?

I got no guesses, just trying not to limit the scope to a Blue Note release...

Technically that would make 4

So ... we're on the right track?

Who knows, I was having dinner at a friends house and we were two bottles of wine deep when I sent this...

 

[scotthilk]

I wish I had more guesses to contribute but I have no clue! More hintz!

 

[Speedracer]

Next hints coming right up.

 

[avecigrec]

Dollar Brand Trio ‎– Anatomy Of A South African Village

 

[Joe Mac]

Next hints coming right up.

At. George’s Cross and a dollar note.

So English? Or called George? Or a Saint? Or maybe they’ve slain a dragon…

 

[Souljacker]

British Dollar = Pound

 

[TrainFan73]

Or it’s just Plus One and we are getting Lightmen record

Joining thread a little late to the party. My first guess is

Roy Harper - Stormcock.

I will out why later.
oh hang on I’ve got 15 mins - it’s half time in the footy.

So Stormcock named after a bird - Feather in the second clue. I understand Roy had three Rabbits close by during recording for safety purposes.
Lock it in.

I stick to my first guess: The Beatles - White Album.

I tried to obsessively link all the hints and I come up with the following:

1: Three animals involved: Several types of animals to choose from on the tracklist, including a bunch of three from the same species: Blackbird, Rockey Racoon and Three Little Piggies on LP1. Plus the monkey that has nothing to hide on LP2.
2: The pictures of pen/ink and lion: Allusion to Shakespeare and Ringo Starr dressed as a lion in the Beatles take on Midsummer Night´s Dream (Beatles perform Shakespeare)
3: The pictures of the English flag and the dollar note: George´s cross and George Washington on Dollar note allude to George Harrison

I wish I could tell you that you are correct, but sadly you are nowhere close.

Interesting though how everyone keeps describing it as a dollar note.

I was thinking that you showing the backside of a dollar bill instead of the front is significant.

Somthing to do with the Word Buck ?

Maybe you guys have more slang terms for 1 dollar....

Yeah I was wondering if it was like an Illuminati reference somehow

 

[NewsFedora]

Or maybe we're just reading too much into it and it's just that two of the band members' names are George and Bill.

So did I get it on my first guess and kill this thread ?



(this will never ever occur btw)
