[Dixielandjazz] Re: Bob Crosby, Bob Zurke

Dear Ed,
Those Bob Crosby Sousa marches are "bloody magnificent", as we Aussies say,
are on a Coral LP and for some reason have never (to my knowledge) been
released on CD.
Here are the discographal details for those interested:

For Dave Richoux.
I think that you will find that Coral CRL 56018 (mine is an Australian Coral
pressing with a different cat. no.) was an earlier 10" LP with the eight
Sousa marches only  and does not contain the above four 1957 sides.
As you know, Coral CRL 57061 - 'Bobcats on Parade' was a 12" LP. I have this
US pressing.
Kind regards,
Bill.
