Octave Records has just released the tenth in their twelve-CD reissue campaign of Erroll Garner's later albums - 1972's "Gemini". As a bonus track, they've added a "previously unreleased" recording of "Misty". Does anyone know whether this is the version that Garner recorded for Clint Eastwood's film "Play Misty for Me", and which, I believe, has been previously unavailable commercially?

According to the latest issue of the British magazine IN TUNE, Mosaic will be issuing the complete Commodore and Decca recordings of Eddie Condon and hi Dixieland All Stars later this Fall. Peter Donolo

Found the track list on the Japanese HMV website, of all places. To my mind, I don't think I've heard Ella sing "My Kind of Boy" or "I Found a New Baby". In any case, there's no such thing as too much prime Ella (though this adds up to under 80 songs - not 139)!

As usual with Verve, hard info is hard to find, but the price suggests a boxed set. A review on Amazon.de suggests that it will include the complete Crescendo, LA, live dates from 11-21 May 1961: 139 songs. Don't know where he gets that from, though.
