I've just noticed an anomaly regarding Dial 10" LP 217 "Night Music" pertaining to the track Night In Abyssinia (D1130-A) - it's listed in the Jazz Discography (see below) but not in Lord. Is it a version of A Night in Tunisia?
There is no track by that name listed in Lord also when a search is performed. The LP is listed as Various Artists but it's primarily Howard McGhee's material. The track is listed as a McGhee/Edwards composition on the original LP label plus it does exist on the LP (I've seen an image of the 4 tracks on side 2 of the LP, coinciding with the 4 label titles).
I have a list of all (I presume) the Dial (78/10") releases & D1130-A is not there. Maybe it's an alternate of another track but given this new title which did occur with certain Dial alternates.

This track is not listed or present on any of my Dial releases (LPs & CDs, including the Dial Mosaic)
Can anyone shed more light on this?
Someone could listen to the track on the original 10" (if anyone has it).

So…pretty much everything EXCEPT the 9 Songbook albums.
I’ve got the Canadian 5 CD box containing those, but it would’ve been really nice to see those get the Mosaic remastering treatment.
