French RCA issued a series of 23 LPs in the '70s 'The Works of Duke Ellington' which had all the Duke RCA sides up to the 1952 concert in Seattle. With a number of alternates that were unreleased at the time.
Thanks brownie,
Now I remember all those French RCA (black and white overs) reissues. I got some of the French Blues series on LP too.
Just was remembering all the funny colored 2-fer Bluebird LPs that made up of most of the other complete series. Like Fats Waller, Bunny Berigan, Glen Miller, Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey...
