German 1956 pressing

One of jazz’s finest clarinetists, Artie Shaw never seemed fully satisfied with his musical life, constantly breaking up successful bands and running away from success. While Count Basie and Duke Ellington were satisfied to lead just one orchestra during the swing era, and Benny Goodman (due to illness) had two, Shaw led five, all of them distinctive and memorable. In 1956 a double EP was released in USA called Both Feet In The Groove. It featured 8-tracks recorded between 1938 and 1945. The eight tracks on the EP really showed that Artie Shaw at all times had both feet in the groove. For this EP RCA managed to get none other than Andy Warhol to paint the cover art. Its such a simple yet beautiful cover artwork by Warhol. This double EP was released as two separate 4-track Eps (EPB-1201-1 and EPB-1201-2). The one youre looking at here is the second of the two Eps.
