Has this been out under another title? It looks like "Tenors Head On" but with Art Pepper?

Half was reissued as bonus material on the US cd version of Tenors Head On and the rest on the US cd version of The Artistry of Pepper.
For me, Dunlop was the "bouncy" equivialant of (dating myself) Debbie Reynolds, Doris Day or Sally Field. The problem was Rock Hudson was not on the next pillow, it was MONK.
Riley was a snooze, 'cept he was there for the best Monk Columbia (IMO) "Live at the It Club".
At his point I wish to mention the lp version (edited by Teo) had much more impact than the "restored" cd version. Wish I'd kept the lps.
I gotta second that, but I think we agree that it isn't worth arguing about. -_-

Make it three. I'm with Larry and John.
For me, Dunlop is as cute as a Hallmark.
I never got the whole deal.
I should say Uptown does not have it. I have not heard it but I know who has it.
Clunky, the Fru 'n' Brew Uptown project is still possible but not a current priority.
In defense of Mr Thornton, burned copies have been floating around for a while - I've had one for a couple of months. Understand they came from "inside" to run up the "street talk" about the release.
On the other hand I found new respect for Shadow from this performance. I was not a big fan before but he seems to be a "great" Monk drummer from this gig!
Uptown's Bob Sunenblick and I (to a lesser degree) have been chasing this for many years. Lots of info, lots of dead ends and a bunch of stuff unconfirmed by circumstance. We are "on the case"!
The two session habit is one of the reasons so many '50s/'60s lps time less than 40 minutes. This practice was widespread among "independent" labels. I believe the "free use" of alternate takes is/was "legal" by union agreement. This is a hold-over from the day's of 78s when the alternates were frequently used to replace exhausted masters.
For musician/composers the up side is increased publishing royalties.
