I believe those are tracks from various Pacific Jazz/World Pacific albums.

OK, that makes sense; thanks.

Chico Hamilton With Paul Horn: Porch Light, Autumn Landscape, Uyawda (probably Uganda), Lolly Pop: from "Chico Hamilton Trio."  Pluck It, Katz Up, Crazy Cats (prob. Classical Katz), Lord Randall: from "Zen: The Music of Fred Katz."

The Great Chico Hamilton Featuring Paul Horn: Blues On The Rock, Street Of Drums, Skinned Strings, Nutty: from "Chico Hamilton Trio."  Montuna, Suite For Horn: from "Zen: The Music of Fred Katz."

They often changed track titles and all. Discographically, a nightmare. I'd say these are all bootlegs.

However, with Crown you get outstanding audio fidelity from top quality vinyl.

That's not true with the three LPs I have with Tjader tracks on them.

Before we get all snobby about Crown, don't forget that two of the greatest albums ever made were recorded for Crown:

  • Jazz Heat, Bongo Beat by the Latin Jazz All-Stars, featuring Buddy Collette; and
  • Kapu by Milt Raskin, later reissued as Exotic Percussion.

Crown will always be an important record label to TTK because of these two masterpieces.

I suppose the comment on sound quality was a joke. :)

But regarding bootlegs, it appears that Crown sometimes seems to have had access to orpginal Pacific Jazz tapes, so I wonder what the deal between the companies was. The reason for my conclusion regarding tapes is the information in this thread:

 

where it seems as if tracks were released on Crown before the same versions (unedited, stereo versions for instance) had been released by Pacific Jazz themselves.
