Disc 2. This is wonderful, sweet music.

FYI, Ian, re your note at the bottom of the page for volume 1 regarding "Hot and Bothered" ("*The version of Hot and Bothered currently available on Volume 1 is, in fact, the version recorded on 12 June, 1930 and repeated on Volume 3 (see here)..."): I downloaded Volume 1 on October 13th, and Sony has replaced "Hot and Bothered" with the correct 21 October, 1928 version. At least to my ears, the two versions sound very different. I hope this helps.

Claudio Scimone Vivaldi box - disc 16 (last).

Kurt Masur - The Complete Warner Classics Edition, disc 16. I'm struck by how odd, generic, and low-budget are so many of these Teldec covers.

The Decca Sound - The Piano Edition, disc 26. Also includes:

Decca - The Mono Years, disc 53 (last). Also includes: It was interesting. The box contained 53 discs, but most contained more than one full album. There were probably 100 albums in that box. Good value!

As I mentioned in the Hoffman forum, thanks for all the work you're doing, Ian!

There are some inconsistencies comparing the volume 1 tracks to ellington live: Discography: Ellington In Order Volume 1 . Some examples: Why is track 5 (Black and Tan Fantasy) separated from the rest of that session (Creole Love Call, etc.)? Which of the three takes of Washington Wobble is from 10/26/27? Which "I Can't Give You Anything But Love" (tracks 40 & 41) is from 10/30/28 and which is from 11/10/28? Why does my track 41 (d/l from Amazon) give the artist as "Duke Ellington And His Famous Orchestra With Ethel Waters" when it doesn't appear Waters sings on it?
