Comments

This album's contents are from MG-25095 (10-inch) (A-1 thru A-6, B-1 and B-2) plus more. I heard EmArcy MG-26011 (10-inch) contains the same plays as MG-25095 but not confirmed yet.

Re-issued as Mercury/Wing MGW-12165? Both needs confirmation.

Inside The Groove

A nice Dixieland-style session by a famous horn player.
