Dear Anton,
Regarding:
>Although not a true parody, Wingy Manone's March 1935 version of "Isle of
Capri" is wonderful. He ignores the original words and concludes "I can blow you
off the Isle of Capri". He does!
Even better is the non-vocal version - unreleased on 78. Wingy's trumpet solo,
replacing the singing, is magnificent. The non-vocal version was issued in 1992
on Collectors Classics CD COCD 5 and may still be available.<
What, perhaps, you should have said was that BOTH versions are on Collectors
Classics CD COCD 5.
Unfortunately, Collectors Classics CDs are no longer currently available from
Worlds Records.
Jazz Jerry may know about availability.
Not really trying to be 'picky".

Kind regards,
Bill.
