I also forwarded this to Andy:
I've discovered quite a while back that the early Prestige 10" LP's should bear the earlier address "Prestige Record Co., 754 10th Avenue, New York, N.Y." to be the 1st pressings. Not the "446 West 50th Street" address. Prestige Record Co. was the company Bob Weinstock founded before he incorporated it as Prestige Records Inc.
Just bought a Red Rodney 10" that bears the earlier address, but there's also copies with the later address and a different typeface on the front cover.
So maybe you could include that in your Prestige Label Guide.
Here's a link to a nice pdf where you can read all about it: www.friktech.com/labels/PrestigeAlbums.pdf
