I see now what you mean. Well:
A records are never 100% readable or written down correctly
B My stories have got slightly embellished over the years and changed somewhat - dont think I am alone.
C May have been the info from the transfer tape changed to the records when mixed
Update to my post above: I am not sure anymore at all that all the Ellington V-Discs were taken from commercial recordings.
I just pulled out an LP that has the reissue of V-Disc 610 (In The Shade Of The Old Apple Tree) of November 1945, and the V-Disc discography by Klaus Teubig does not indicate any commercial recordings as its source. Neither for V-Disc 505 that is referenced in the entry for VD 610. According to Bruyninckx, both VD 505 and VD 610 come from Duke Ellington Treasury Shows. And these are only 2 of the Ellington V-Discs.
So is it again a matter of balking estates that they're not in that set?
If they do a "complete" release and they find more takes of these tunes, I'd be interested. However, I do hope that they don't copy the format of the Rollins' Vanguard release, where they cut all of the banter between songs. That was included in the RVG CDs and I really enjoyed hearing Sonny's little talks.
