Looking for information or help. I recently came across a master recording vinyl lp which has the makings that it was a preliminary recording before the album was released. It is date 1964 Jackie Gleason Silken Brass. the label on the album was type written. There is no cover and I have been told that what I have was a Master Recording and in deed has a project number on the label. From my research it seems to be the master/project recording for the album that was later released as Silk N Brass in 1965, I believe.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Did you try contacting Capital Records - EMI, or whatever they call it now? They may be of help. Did you mean "Silk 'n' Brass" (Capital SW 2409, 1966)? This could be a very valuable disc! Also try some of the collectible vinyl stores, found through ebay and elsewhere for their input. good luck in your search for info. -WWJGD

Thanks for the input. The album I have seems to be a demo recording but the label is type written and is titled Silken Brass. I have researched but believe that what I have may have been the demo that was later released as Silk N Brass. Ebay and other sources have not turned up any information and I believe that is because this again was the demo that was never released. I will try to contact Capitol Records which is the label but the only number on the label is a project number 31-5222. thanks for your input and help
