Now, does the spine look like a Sparton (Canadian Columbia) album or is it 
white, like the US original? I found my copy which has Canadian pressings in it 
but it's the original American album, but I likely substituted the better 
pressings in my copy.

I got lots of Ross's records and test pressings and tapes and 5 extra copies of 
his Mart Kenny book (which went to Taylor Bowie), but Ross's brain stayed with him.
