I was reading the King Cole Mosaic liners and the author pointed to the Transcription version w/ congas as his favorite version of the tune. So I buy the Transcription set, and while there's a swell Route 66, it's from an earlier session, not the 7/26/49 or 3/9/50 ones (the latter is the date I believe the author specified as the 66 source), the only ones with conga. Yet the Capitol Transcription set claims to be complete. What gives? Anyone know?

Thanks!

Cole also recorded transcriptions for the "West Coast Transcription Company" (C.P. MacGregor.) I think they're different from the Capital transcriptions. Perhaps it's amongst them. They used to be available (cheaply) from Laserlight.

That was the first place I looked! All earlier sessions, though- the Capitols started after the MacGregor contract was up. Alas...

This is what you're looking for:

You are my hero. I'd just about given up on this thread. Thanks!!!
