New listings on CDJapan: previously released?

[mjzee]

CDJapan shows the following 3 titles with release dates of June 18. No label listed, or much other useful information. Have these been previously available? Interestingly, the one common element they have is Kenny Drew.

I am certain these are CD issues sourced from tapes that have floated around the trader networks and then sites like Dime.

The Mobley I am sure is the one that has been discussed here before:

I have my own transfer from reel to reel tape, courtesy of a board member, of Rollins with Drew and I presume its the same or largely he same concerts. The Dexter I'll bet is a duplicate of a Moon release from the mid-90s, had pretty crappy sound and I don't think Kenny Drew is on all of it, its really more of a compilation of sorts; Red Rodney is on a track or two, fwiw.

BTW I'll give the bootleggers credit for pretty decent covers.

The Sonny is probably a duplicate of the two Moon discs too.
