Lord listings for Cal Tjader Galaxy 78s

[JamesAHarrod]

I recently bought the Kindle edition of S. Duncan Reid's Cal Tjader biography (highly recommended by the way).

I decided to load all of my Tjader collection into Music on my iPad so that I could listen to items noted in the biography and was surprised that I had not acquired the Fantasy reissue of Tjader's early Galaxy sides (I have all of the 78s and 10" LP Fantasy 3-9). In checking Lord's discography I also noted that he did not list the Fantasy CD reissue of these sides. I just emailed Tom giving him the details from my 78s as well as details from the CD reissue that I just acquired, and I also advised that the entries for master numbers 11170 and 11180 were probably bogus and should be dropped unless he has some documentation or solid references to support their existence (the same conclusion that Michael Weil notes in his discography in the book).

If you compare my discography with the listings in Lord you will find a lot more discrepancies or errors - maybe you could recommend me to Tom Lord so I could send him my data.

Thanks for recommending the book - Duncan did a helluva job.

BTW - do you happen to own a copy of the Fantasy 78 or its 45 rpm counterpart 540: As I Love You c/w I've Waited So Long, recorded September 10, 1957 - that's the only pre-1960 Tjader item missing in my collection.

Thanks in advance for your efforts, and for your great blog - I used your information on the early Brubeck Trio sides.

I have Fantasy 78s 501 through 537 and Fantasy EPs 4001 through 4069. I do not have 540 as a 45 single either.

Your data already found it's way into the Lord disco.
