The Signature sides by Coleman Hawkins were reissued on LP (and on CD later) on several of his labels, including Flying Dutchman, Doctor Jazz, and Red Baron. Here are some examples:

I agree that the transfers on Harlequin are variable. I was say better than Document on average but not up to the standards of Yazoo. The Yazoo transfers were, in my opinion, generally excellent, especially considering the rarity of the material used in many of their releases.

Here are several based on some searching on the web: HQCD 13. Hawaiian Memories, Rare Transcription Discs, 1936-1947 HQCD 17. Xavier Cugat with Jose Luis Monero, 1946-1948 HQCD 22. Puerto Rico 1929-1947 HQCD 24. Cuarteto Machin, Vol. 1, 1931-32 (also seen as 1930-1932) HQCD 44. Enric Madriguera, 1920-1941 HQCD 49. Pedro Flores, 1938-1942 HQCD 74. Cuarteto Marcano, 1939-1945 HQCD 89. Great Bands of Tango's Golden Age, 1936-1940 HQCD 97. Rafael Munoz, Volume 1, 1938-1943 HQCD 99. Buenos Aires To Paris, Argentine tango Performers in France, 1924-1938 HQCD 136. Rafael Munoz, Volume 4 HQCD 157. The Rhythm of Juan D'Arienzo I think that's all you were missing except for HQCD 175. Can't find that so far.

Happy Birthday Jeff. Long time, no hear!

Here's a link to the November 10, 1945 issue. https://mirror.thelifeofkenneth.com/sites/www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Billboard/40s/1945/BB-1945-11-10.pdf It includes the ad mentioned above (on page 25) and also lists the forthcoming Co-Ed 210 release on page 79 under "ADVANCE RECORD RELEASES."

There's an earlier reference in an advertisement in Billboard from November 10, 1945. I tried to paste the image, but it didn't come through. The ad says: Coming Soon Another Hit: "GONDOLIER," Coupled With "IF I COULD CALL YOU MINE," with the mellow voice of SGT. PROF. BUDDY WINLEY, with Percy France and Jerry Smith Orchestra.

Excellent album. I keep hoping that IPO has more Roland Hanna material to release.

Not prime. 187 = 11 x 17

An often overlooked master. RIP.

Wow! I remember reading this as a kid! As I recall, he had walked every time up but one (when he got the hit).

Dwight Evans never made the HOF. Damn good outfielder but not in the hall.

Well, jazzdisco.com has the following: Sir Charles Thompson And The Swing Organ (Columbia CL 1364) Rudy Rutherford, clarinet; Percy France, tenor sax; Sir Charles Thompson, organ; Aaron Bell, bass; J.C. Heard, drums. Columbia Studios, NYC, released 1959 I Get A Kick Out Of You Cool And Easy Robbins' Nest Lady In Red April Love 19th Hole Jumpin' At Basie's I Wanta Love You What's New Oh Me, Oh My Love Is A Many Splendored Thing Party Time ** also issued on Columbia CS 8205. The February 1, 1960 issue of Billboard pictures the album: https://books.google.com/books?id=BR8EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA39&lpg=PA39&dq=charles+thompson+and+his+swing+organ&source=bl&ots=bAH0oQxUq7&sig=ACfU3U1PtUoTWHBz31qOunCvAqRDT3tuNw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiwhs6SpeXjAhXy1FkKHYLeCo44HhDoATAEegQICBAB#v=onepage&q=charles%20thompson%20and%20his%20swing%20organ&f=false That would certainly support a 1959 recording date. It's unlikely that Columbia would get it out that quickly.

That's assuming that Lord is correct. Not always a good assumption.

This one? Sir Charles Thompson [T3035-16] Sir Charles Thompson And The Swing Organ: Percy France (ts) Rudy Rutherford (cl) Sir Charles Thompson (p,org) Aaron Bell (b) J.C. Heard (d) New York, 1960 Cool and easy Col CL1364 I get a kick out of you - Robbins' nest - The lady in red - April love - 19th hole - Jumpin' at Basie's - I wanna love you - What's new ? - Oh me ! Oh my ! - Love is a many splendored thing - Party time -

Mine has just the 3 CDs. Slim, gatefold packaging. No DVD.

It’s a stripped down version with different packaging. You get all the music (great!) but not the elaborate original packaging. I had also been looking for a reasonably priced version when I saw it offered a few years ago on Amazon. I assume that’s what you’ll be getting.

👍

Are you a man of distinction? A real big spender?
