[David Palmquist]

Hi Bill,
Timner shows the record label code OK beside takes B and C, but nothing 
beside take A.  I'll put the question out to the Duke-LYM list though, a

I have only the 1 versoion with Jabbo, that is take B, and it's on the 2 CD 
set The Okeh Ellington, which came out a few years ago.
