If anyone cares, I have 2 copies of the Japanese issue of Have No Fear left.
It has one extra tune.
Now that the dreaded commercialism is out of the way - Von is a MF and it is best reflected in my 2 issues. Live performances are another story.
What a wonderful man he is.
First of all, the licensing issue is correct. Part of the license with BMG would stipulate the labeling. All Mosaics will have this marking.
Next, EMI manufactures BMG club Blue Notes, Universal manufactures Verves for BMG, Sony manufactures Legacy releases for BMG, etc. Labeling is the only difference in the discs.
I was "imprinted" by a version on one of the early Granz Jam Sessions with Dizzy Gillespie, Roy Eldridge (tp) Johnny Hodges (as) Ben Webster, Illinois Jacquet, Flip Phillips (ts) Lionel Hampton (vib) Oscar Peterson (p) Ray Brown (b) Buddy Rich (d).
From the Dunes & The Del-Tunes site:
Dunes & The Del-Tunes features “Mr. Rock n’ Roll”, Gary Dunes,
(real name Gary Modugno), cousin of the late singer/actor Domenico Modugno who had a #1 hit and one of the biggest songs of the year with Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blue, “Volare” (1958). Gary can also be heard from 5 am to 10 am Monday thru Friday on Oldies 92.1 in Syracuse, NY and is one of the top rated Morning Show Hosts in the Syracuse market.
