Hadn't listened to Ra in a while, so 4 discs from Art Yard in a Box:

Excellent body of music 👌👍 ....

But what's that with "So Much Doldinger" being claimed to be an "original" album??

Any way you look at it (and compare liner notes and discographical entries), "So Much Doldinger" (a release for the German Record Club DSC) ORIGINALLY was a compilation of "Jazz Made in Germany" (released as "Dig Doldinger" in the USA) and of "Live at Blue Note Berlin" and is made up of half of each of these LPs.
So what they did here was to usurp the title of that compilation LP and package assorted individual tracks onto that extra CD. Certainly nice fillers but no "original" ALBUM, this ...??
I wonder what made them shy away from marketing this as "4 Original Albums plus Bonus tracks" or similar? :blink: Have EPs or individual tracks become unmarketable to today's sales whiz kids? :D
If one of these P.D. labels had done that one of their sets they would have been torn to shreds for misrepresentation by the usual suspects ... 😁

I'm afraid both insights or special care for facts/details amiss and result in products like this one 🤔 ....

Agreed. :tup I played it a day or so after posting and was struck by how good it was. For some reason I hadn't listened to On Jupiter as often as a few other albums in the box.

Impossible to find. Do you know if the "physical" box really exists?

There's definitely a vinyl box set, but I don't know who sells it. Maybe it was a limited release and already OOP?
