I started collecting BN 78s in the '70s, mostly concentrating on the 12" records - I have 41 of the 52 issued and 3 of the 5 George Lewis Climax sides. I have only 32 of the 10" issues.
Cuscuna borrowed some for inclusion in this German box which contains the Jimmy Shirley "Stardust" mentioned earlier-
Sorry, after 2 tries I couldn't make it through the cd because the sound was so irritating to me. I can't believe something more couldn't have been done.
Because he was spectacularly nasty to me, Roscoe Mitchell and Lester Bowie when we met with him in the late '60s. My blood starts to boil when I see his name.
No, it's a 10 inch. 1200 series seems to be a short lived vocal series with the 2 Bernhardts and the Monk/Kenny Hagood record. The titles I have are "Meet Me On the Corner" and "Cracklin Bread".
I have a copy of BN 530, the Josh White (BN 23), one of the Markhams (BN 48) and one of the Bernhardts (BN 1202). I began collecting the 78s in the '80s.
He made 2 sessions. The first is totally unissued (5 titles, 11 takes), the second produced Jimmy's Blues, 3 unissued titles and Stardust issued in a box set in Germany and Japan circa 1983.
