or as i like to call it, the bean machine's prostiute album: this album has been issued on more labels, than any record in the Great Beans catalogue. it might start w/ jazztone, but it doesnt end there. hold on to your hats. i dont know the story of what happened with these master tapes, but you guys MUST know what im talking about...........

If you'd really had a closer look at the Hawk's discography then you'd have seen this just ain't so. Just look at the huge number of labels his Commodore, Signature etc. recordings of the forties or some of his recordings of the late 50s (e.g. his Felsted session or some of his live recordings) have been reissued on.
