That's what the writing on the back of the box suggests, yes.

But in absence of tracklistings, the DEPanorama website isn't really helpful either (they don't seem to have any numbering that fits with the one on the website for the 10CD set).

Same with Bruyninckx... too bad, but I guess then this 10CD set might be a good buy for someone who hasn't started buying the Storyville 2CD sets (of which I own six so far, eight more to go...)

Bruyninckx has an album listing at the end of his Ellington entry, including the following:

D.E.T.S. 1 – Your Saturday date Vol. 1

D.E.T.S. 2 + 3 – Your Saturday date Vol. 2 + 3

D.E.T.S. Vol. 4 + 5 – Treasury show

D.E.T.S. Vol. 6 + 7 – Treasury show

D.E.T.S. Vol. 8 + 9 – Treasury show

D.E.T.S. Vol. 10 + 11 – Treasury show

D.E.T.S. Vol. 12 + 13 – Treasury show

D.E.T.S. Vol. 14 + 15 – Treasury show

D.E.T.S. Vol. 16 + 17 – Treasury show

D.E.T.S. Vol. 18 + 19 – Treasury show

D.E.T.S. Vol. 20 + 21 – Treasury show

D.E.T.S. Vol. 22 + 23 – Treasury show

D.E.T.S. Vol. 24 + 25 – Treasury show

D.E.T.S. Vol. 26 + 27 – Treasury show

D.E.T.S. Vol. 28 + 29 – Treasury show

D.E.T.S. Vol. 30 + 31 – Treasury show

D.E.T.S. Vol. 32 – Treasury show

D.E.T.S. Vol. 33 – Civic Opera House

D.E.T.S. Vol. 34 + 35 – Treasury show

D.E.T.S. Vol. 36 – Treasury show

D.E.T.S. Vol. 37 – Treasury show

D.E.T.S. Vol. 38 + 39 – Treasury show

D.E.T.S. Vol. 40 + 41 – Treasury show

D.E.T.S. Vol. 42 + 43 – Treasury show

D.E.T.S. Vol. 44 + 45 – Treasury show

D.E.T.S. Vol. 46 – Treasury show

D.E.T.S. Vol. 47 + 48 – Blue Note

D.E.T.S. – Bonus

What are these? LPs that preceeded the Storyville 2CD sets?

Or are these the original non-commercial transcription discs?

I believe these are the original LP series that issued Treasury shows. The Storyville series is reissuing these on CD and add bonus material. I have eight of the Storyville sets.

The original DETS vinyl series:

Still have the full run of it. Volumes 1 to 30 acquired from the Paris Jazz Corner shop shortly after its opening. Bought the rest of the series during one of my first visit at the Princeton Record Exchange!

The LPs came in plain white sleeves with blank back covers. Two-page notes inserts accompanied each LP.

The Storyville CD series adds more broadcasts to the original LP releases.

i have two lp´s of the treasury series on the swedish "phontastic - nostalgia" label from 1982. they re-issued the whole serie from the first lp release for the members of the merrit record society.

NOJ,

My collection isn't much more extensive than yours, but this is stuff you absolutely need:

The Webster/Blanton recordings (Never No Lament or other recording)

late 20s/early 30s stuff (Okeh Ellington on Sony and Early Ellington on GRP are from this period - European labels probably also cover it)

Ellinton & Hodges Side by Side (one of my favorites)

This is stuff that you'll want:

New Orleans Suite [many would put it in the prior category]

Three Suites

Afro Eurasian Eclipse

And His Mother Called Him Bill

The Ellington Suites

Latin American Suite

stuff you can probably skip:

1969 White House All Star Tribute
