The Golden Era Series was produced and edited by George Avakian “from original masters which he assembled and preserved in Columbia’s vaults at Bridgeport, Connecticut.” [Discogs]
The two compilation albums shown here, Benny Goodman Combos and Benny Goodman and his Orchestra, were first released in 1951, with largely identical cover designs by young Rudolph de Harak, using Stymie set on a bouncing baseline. The latter album features an angled block of all-caps Peignot for the track listing. Both were (re)issued in various color variants.
