Ellington At Newport

[l447780], pressing based on the "pinprick" at the end of the runout string (often hard to detect without bright light and magnification). This version has the following in the rim text at 6 o'clock: (R) "COLUMBIA" (LP) [Walking Eye logo] MARCAS REG. MADE IN U.S.A.". For the very similar Bridgeport pressing with slightly different rim text, e.g., has "T.M." in the rim text, use [r=14935007]. Recorded in performance at the American Jazz Festival at Newport, R.I., on July 7, 1956. Deep-groove 6-eye black-on-red label with 'Columbia' and 'Lp' in white. Runouts: "XLP338##-1$ ☆" (where ## is "09" or "10" and $ is a letter) and, when present, "." (the Bridgeport "pinprick") are stamped; everything else is etched.
