[Kari S]

For some reason, the latest batch of non-Japanese CTi reissues are released only in the UK. I noticed that some of these titles have been previously issued (at least I think they were). Here's the list:

- Stanley Turrentine - "Don't Mess With Mr. T" /w bonus tracks

- Stanley Turrentine - "Salt Song"

- Patti Austin - "Havana Candy"

- Ray Barretto - "La Cuna"

- Ron Carter - "Blues Farm"

- Paul Desmond - "Pure Desmond" /w bonus tracks

- Paul Desmond - "Skylark"

- Astrud Gilberto - "Gilberto With Turrentine" /w bonus tracks

- Hubert Laws - "In The Beginning"

- Milt Jackson - "Sunflower"

- Freddie Hubbard - "First Light" /w bonus tracks

- Nina Simone - "Baltimore"

- Jeremy Steig - "Firefly"

- Esther Phillips - "Black-Eyed Blues" /w bonus tracks

- Gabor Szabo "Macho" /w bonus tracks

Kari (or anyone who knows), can you tell me more about the bonus tracks on PURE DESMOND? This is an old favorite of mine, and I'll have to get those extra tracks! Thanks in advance.

Edit: Hmm, I just remembered- the old CD has two extra tracks (Song from M*a*s*h, and Wave). So, they're probably the same...

There's quite a few actually, but they're mostly alternate takes. I saw a copy yesterday for $19.98.
