Some of this material has had to shown up on any other of the candid recordings, right?

A little clarification would help.

That's a reissue of a 1961 Various Artists Candid "sampler" LP.

The only Mingus cuts are "R&R" & "Vasselean".

'Lord', 'Lord' is also on the Lucky Thompson Candid.

'Father And Son' is an edited version of a tune on the Cal Massey CD.

I'm pretty sure these takes of the Mingus tunes appear elsewhere.

The last track is a bona fide rarity.

P.S.:

Vassarlean = Weird Nightmare = Smooch
