I wouldn't disagree abut Selmer. But it seemed surprising to me that this was first released in France and not in the USA. So I (apparently mistakenly) assumed that the US Baronet release listed in the Bruyninckx discography was the first one.

oh yeah, I have that CD with the complete RCA recordings.  "Hey Pete let´s eat mo´meat" I already heard in my teens since there was a black cover RCA album "When Bebop met the Big Band" or so, but you know when you are a teenager you are so deadly serious, not much humour, so at first hearing I found it "silly", but I still listen to it 😄

Okay yeah, it´s possible that the early 50´s dates have better drum sound, but the late 40´s sessions have a terrible weak sound. The only one on which Shadow Wilson replaces Blakey, with Bags and even the great vocalist Kenny Hagood has such a weak and miserable sound that it´s barely enjoyable.  The other one with Roach on drums is a bit better and the Prestige sessions have better drum sound, you are right ! 

Iverson is more opinionated than he is talented, both as a writer and a musician.
