"I'm not sure where "Definitive" and "Calvados" get their titles. This set was burned over from the GRP/Decca/MCA set entitled "Early Ellington : complete Brunswick recordings". Decca bought them later, but they were not "Decca" recordings. Another example of tonto-style name-switching would be the Definitive Ellington "Complete Studio Transcriptions", a burn-over from the Hindsight set of the Capitol Transcriptions from 1946 - 1947. Duke Ellington never made any "Studio Transcriptions". He made "Standard", "World", and "Capitol". Why these shell-games? Ask "Calvados", if you can find him.

In any event, "Calvados" has beaten GRP's price for the early Brunswick/Vocalion recordings. (Later issues on these historic labels wound up in the hands, ultimately, of Columbia, which has YET to re-issue them in full - a couple of sets were available at some time in the past through an English outfit called "Jazz Information", according to the Penguin Guide to jazz on CD, though I myself have never heard or even seen these discs.) Of course, "Definitive" doesn't supply the excellent documentation included in that set. Instead, you get "Calvados" book-report style mumbo-jumbo. Along with Definitive's occasionally bizarre aural artifacts.

Hey! Why not BUY this set anyway! Or steal it from someone who DID buy it. Then burn it over and sell the discs for 25 cents a piece, or get a techie to transfer it over the Internet! Then "Calvados" will go back to selling noisemakers at soccer games or pickpocketing tourists."
