For Duke: Bill Berry and his Ellington All-Stars, RT-101, is an M&K RealTime direct-to-disc LP.
We now know that a real-to-reel tape was recording the direct-to-disc session. There are non-direct-to-disc LPs mastered from this reel-to-reel tape. I am not in this thread talking about those copies.
I am talking about the true direct-to-disc copies, RT-101.
With that introduction here’s my question:
Why do some RT-101s have in the upper left corner of the cardboard jacket a square sticker saying “DIRECT TO DISC” and “M&K RealTime” and some RT101 jacket covers do not have this sticker?
Were there two printing runs of the direct-to-disc LP? One with the sticker in the upper left-hand corner of the jacket cover, and one without the sticker in the upper left-hand corner of the jack cover?
