That "rare draft" of Lil Hardin Armstrong's autobiography, isn't that something that Chris Albertson had access to (and/or had been given) after Lil Armstrong's passing?

 

Correct.

I have that LP on Federal 10". It doesn't have the vocal though. Who was that singer?

The Classics cd credits the drummer, Gus Gustafson.

That is exactly the problem. CDrs often fail after a short amount of time.

FWIW, I have 10-20 year old CD-Rs and haven't experienced any fails.

I tried to comment on the previous post (Music to Ease Your Disease) and it kept attaching my comment to the Harvey Mandel post. Hmmmm

It's kind of odd. I listed it on Discogs and my review copy was a CD-R. Allison himself changed it to CD and I changed it back, as it was blue and had the typical lack of matrix / runout that manufactured CDs have. He insisted it was a CD and I disagreed, not knowing that I was talking with him (or his representative).

Here is the link to the Discogs page and the images I posted, view them and decide for yourself.

One reason it makes it difference to me is that I have had some commercial CD-Rs fail completely, so I avoid them, especially buying them. Amazon is bad about sneaking in manufactured on demand CD-Rs of out of print CDs without listing them as such.

Maybe the promos/advance copies were CD-Rs.

I had that box set and gave it to my son who, unlike me still had a turntable. Good liner notes as I remember.

Koko and Jack the Bear? 

IIRC, those were "cleaned up" for this package
