I collect albums that were issued as multiple cover puzzles. Riverside issued nine lps that created three sexy, cheesecake puzzles. Here is one set. The series “Compositions of…” compiled an amazing collection of modern jazz performances and showcased the writing of Ellington, Monk and Dizzy Gillespie alongside sets of Gershwin, Arlen and Berlin.
