Jazz Records 1942-1962: Volume 5: M-N

Copenhagen, Denmark: Nordisk Tidsskrift Forlag A / S / Karl Emil Knudsen, 1963. First Edition.

Jepsen chose to begin this series with records beginning with the letter M (volume 5), following to the end of the alphabet, starting again from letter A, and continuing through to letter L. Jepsen explains his desire to do so in the foreword to volume 5: "It seems that the greatest of all discographies, 'Jazz Directory,' has stopped publication in the middle of the letter 'L,' and although I know I cannot reach the high standard of 'Jazz Directory' I have decided to begin this work with the letters following 'L' and to the end of the alphabet, after this I will start again from 'A'. Eight volumes are planned in all." The dates on the wrappers are relative; the author was able to use information outside of these date ranges, and more accurate ranges are listed on the front wrapper versos of volumes 4c and 4d, the last of the first eight volumes to be published.

About Near Fine in tan printed wrappers, with a hint of dampstaining at the heel and a couple of spine creases.
