Lee Morgan question

[Hardbopjazz]

Lee Morgan's Vol 2, has it ever been issued under a different title? Vol 1 has also beenn issued as Indeed!

Thanks in advance.

my TOCJ copy says Lee Morgan Sextet on the spine

Album titles are often a confusing thing on early Blue Note LPs. Lee Morgan’s first BN LP said Lee Morgan Indeed! on the front cover, and Presenting Lee Morgan on the back cover (no ”Vol. 1”). His second BN LP said just Lee Morgan on the front and Lee Morgan Sextet on the back (no ”Vol. 2”). His third said Lee Morgan Vol. 3 on the front, and just Lee Morgan on the back!

By the way, his last Blue Note album also was titled only Lee Morgan originally.

On the Blue Note label catalogues from the mid-sixties, the Lee Morgan Sextet LP 1541 is always listed as Lee Morgan, volume 2 even if that LP cover has no volume 2 identification.

The early Hank Mobley records are no less confusing. Two different ones are identified only as "Hank Mobley Sextet" on the back, but have front identification as "Hank Mobley with Donald Byrd and Lee Morgan" and "Hank." Then you have "Hank Mobley Quartet," "Hank Mobley Quintet," and "Hank Mobley and His All Stars." "Hank Mobley Quintet" is identified on the front as only "Hank Mobley." After all that, Hank Mobley cuts another album on Blue Note. What is it called? Again, "Hank Mobley."
