Something missing from Giant Steps?

December 24, 2022

Marc,

Well, I bought both of the My Favorite Things releases and love them. And yes, I bit the bullet and got the Atlantic/Rhino Giant Steps reissue [Atlantic/Rhino R1 512581] for about $250 total.

There is one thing that I found odd about Giant Steps. There is no booklet or any production notes, just the Downbeat review insert and one of the labels --what for? Is there any chance the seller lost the extras? With such a nice package, how can they leave out a booklet or at least the production info? Heck, even My Favorite Things, which has a flimsy jacket, has a nice booklet. (I always hated its cover, but the back is great.)

My copy of the 45rpm two-LP Giant Steps, which Bernie Grundman mastered and RTI pressed, in an edition of 2500, came with only the reprint of the Downbeat review and a sheet of facsimile labels. No booklet or other printed materials. The sleeve, which fits into the slipcase, is heavy and nicely printed, however. -Marc Mickelson
