Debut Records as in Mingus' Debut label?

Yes, although I know this question has already been answered. Levister did some "music director" type work for Debut - arranging and conducting on several sessions. Later in life he did a lot of commercial arranging/composing - Motown, Verve, Broadway, commercials. Manhattan Monodrama seems to be the only time he was given the freedom to write and record whatever he wanted. It looks like one track showed up on a Debut CD collection, but it's otherwise un-reissued.

George Lewis - Concert! (BN NYC). Found this one this afternoon. I had just about given up on finding a decent mono copy - every one I had previously come across was fake stereo. It sounds really good for a live recording of the time - RVG mastered, although he didn't do the recording. This is the afternoon set from a 1954 Bakersfield, California concert; the evening set was issued on Storyville.

Also the composer of Slow Dance on Traning In.

I've seen something similar on a few Impulse issues. 

A number of Blue Notes bore a small "For Export Only" labels.  

Quite a lot of US Columbia issues were marketed in the UK with every mention of Columbia blacked out with marker pen and a with a black circular sticker around the edge of the label.

Charlie Parker, All Star Sextet (Royal Roost). 12 songs of Dial material from 1947. I've never heard a Dial 78 or Dial ten inch or LP, but this Roost late 1950s reissue is the best sounding version of this material that I have heard.

ARCHIE SHEPP – HORACE PARLAN: EN CONCERT, 1rst SET. 52E RUE EST RE 015 [1987]

Thanks for posting this, I only recently heard the Steeplechase duo recordings and the idea of both stretching out more on a similar program is very appealing.  Then I found the CD issue which is two discs worth, and I was sold. Hopefully Amazon's one copy was available when I clicked "purchase".

Richard Groove Holmes, Get Up & Get It (Prestige). Very nicely recorded by RVG, with stellar line-up of Teddy Edwards, Pat Martino, Paul Chambers and Billy Higgins.

John Klemmer, Constant Throb (Impulse).

Orange - In the Midst of Chaos - (Free Force, US private pressing)

Paul Flaherty-related 70s Connecticut wildness, glad to have finally found a copy after many years of searching.

That's a great find, Clifford. I've never even seen a copy.

There's been a CD reissue some years back, but this is really music that should be enjoyed on vinyl.

yeah, my friend did the CD reissue but I'd never seen an original copy until last week! It was a trade with another gent and worked out perfectly.
