[Dixielandjazz] Jonathan and Darlene Edwards twofer

[Dick Baker]

Thanks for spotting this, Bob.  I've been a big fan of J&D Edwards 
since being introduced to them nearly 40 years ago by Al Webber, 
whose own departure from this mortal coil was announced here just a 
few weeks ago.

This CD does indeed contain all 12 tunes on
         "The Piano Artistry of J&D Edwards," first issued in 1957 on 
Columbia CL 1024 in 1957; later reissued on undated LP Corinthian 104,
and all 12 on
         "Jonathan & Darlene Edwards in Paris (first issued on 
Columbia CL 1513 in 1960; later reissued on undated LP Corinthian 103,
plus another 5 that don't appear ever to have been issued.

I don't know where you saw "101 Distribution"; I couldn't find it, 
and in any case I don't know what it means or anything about the 
Acrobat label.  But that CD also is available from American amazon.com.

Also available at amazon.com are Jonathan & Darlene's Greatest Hits, 
vols. 1 & 2.  They're on the Corinthian label but do not match the 
old Columbia/Corinthian LPs -- in fact, they have a number of tracks 
that aren't on any of the three above.

The link to all three and more is at

but make sure you keep all that lot on one line.

Buy 'em all!  You won't regret it.

>Bob Ringwald reported,

Finally, some original Jonathan and Darlene Edwards albums have been 
released on
CD in their entirety:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Complete-Original-Jonathan-Darlene-Edwards/dp/B004UBB38I/

...but I suspect that "101 Distribution" means that this is a 
nebulous UK public
domain release, and that these are transfers from LPs?
