London (UK) Album Discography, Part 2:
AL 3500 (10-inch) Origins of Jazz Series

In 1954, London started a second album series, the AL 3500 series, again with 10-inch LPs. This series, unlike the 1000 series, was primarily from the Riverside Records catalog in the U.S. and was titled the "Origins of Jazz" series. Also unlike the 1000 series, the 3500 series was exclusively jazz. It ran from 1954 to 1956.

The AL 3500 Origins of Jazz Series had a green label with gold print, with "Origins of Jazz" on a ribbon below the London name.
