Debut LP Autobiography In Jazz

[romualdo]

I'm wondering if this various artists LP (Deb 198/OJC 115) has ever been commercially/legitimately digitalised.

Of particular interest is the Roach/Mobley session of April 10, 1953. An alternate take of "Orientation" was released on this anthology LP.

The Lord Discography states that there was a CD release of this (OJC CD 115-2)

I have a 1996 Fantasy catalogue that only lists the LP version (OJC 115). I've done a search on amazon & ebay with no success (only LP's show up - Debut & OJC versions)

The Debut Story 4CD set contains "Orientation" - again the Lord discography lists the non alternate take here - can anyone confirm that?

The standard version on the Roach CD is 2:50 in length

BTW is it worth getting the Debut Story if you already have the Mingus Debut box?

Is there much material in the 4 CD set not in the big box.

The most reliable discography for the April 10, 1953 session is the one from Noal Cohen and Michael Fitzgerald. It does not list any CD release for that OJC115 album.

Neither does the Mobley Discography from Claude Schlouch!

Yes - there are tracks from very interesting sessions like the Lonnie Levister 'Manhattan Monodrama' and the material by John LaPorta that are included on the 'Debut Story' 4CD and which don't feature on the big Mingus box. Good booklet too !

Thanks

I thought as much

I find errors in the Lord discography almost on a daily basis! but I still wholeheartedly support it (purchase a new update every few years)
