Interesting albums/CD's that LOOK like compilations, but aren't, and are *more* than meets the eye.

I just discovered that Eric Dolphy's "Vintage Dolphy" on the GM label, aparently ISN'T just a bunch of repackaged tunes from elsewhere -- i.e. the suprerfluous compilation that I sure thought it was all these years.  I'll have to track one down now, probably, one of these days.

So what OTHER "damn that sure looks like a comp I really don't need" releases have I been oblivious to all these years?  Especailly with unique material either not available anywhere else (or not on CD anyway).  Actual compilations are OK -- as long as they're especially interesting, and if they include otherwise hard-to-find material.

Here's the details on "Vintage Dolphy" (and the line-ups and provinance of each track is slightly clearer than on the back-cover image below, though neither one is 100% clear).

Mods:  Feel free to move this into a different forum (other than 'Discography'), if appropriate.

I don’t know. Mine is in the loft. It is the long Schuller piece which appears to be missing. Trying to remember if I ever heard it...

Yep. And by now I'm pretty sure there was only an Enja edition of the old version (CD and LP in the US), which did not include that piece. So there's only the second GM edition (depicted above) that has the full contents.

OK, this ISN'T a compilation -- but I only just realized today that these apparently AREN'T all the same release??  I kinda, sorta knew about the earlier 1983 Strata East version, but I thought it was actually the same thing as the 1986 one (which I have the Evidence release of).

But "Such Great Friends" isn't the same as "Great Friends" -- who knew????

Is the earlier '83 Strata East date as good as it looks on paper?  If so, then I gotta track this one down, sometime.

Which is apparently entirely different than THIS (below, both of these are the same thing)...
