Gang -- a couple of related questions: First, does anyone know if Brunswick ever released in the 1950s or early '60s another 12-inch volume (or two) of its 1920s Ellington material that would have been a companion to the "Early Ellington" LP pictured below.   Second, has anyone heard the early '60s LPs of this material issued in England on the Ace of Hearts label and can offer an opinion about the sound quality/transfers? Thanks ...
