perhaps BODY AND SOUL is the tune title which has been most repeated in posts to this group due to bad Netiquette on the part of I won't say more than the name of another tune: 


WHO?  


I don't like to have to plough through plough through plough through
>>>again and again and again .....

it's what your highlight and delete keys are for 


Incidentally, I once attended a recording date with a musician known to some other members of this group, who has problems with BENNY'S BUGLE -- as I recall there were about eleven attempts when Benny Goodman tried to record this number at one session. It only felt that there were even more attempts by the Ellington band of c.1930 to record not exactly the greatest numbers in the repertoire, when trying to hear through one of those every single track collections issued by Victor some years ago...


Perhaps there is a statistic about the maximum number of failed or unissued attempts to record something interesting?  And so far as I remember Leroy Carr recorded HOW LONG BLUES No. 6 and the previous four re-recordings because of wear and tear on the original masters. 

Listening through to all those by and large duplication is still not as bad as having to plough through all the repeatedrepeated et cetera messages replied to lazily by the most grievous ignorer of netiquette. And you have my name above -- no more repetitions today!!!
