Dear Bob,
What concert?
It is from Audio Fidelity recording sessions on 30 September - 2 October 1959.
And there are alternate versions of "Chimes Blues" (and other tunes).
Not separate 'takes' but edited versions of the edited 'master' takes.
I have it on LP and several CDs, but have never sat down in an attempt to sort it out.
The late meticulous Jos Willems obviously did.
Very kind regards,
Bill.
