I LOVE Pete Fountain's solo on the verse to Tin Roof on that record.

Dear Ken, 
I also found that one this morning. 
It was recorded in the early 1950s but not released until 1988. 

Basin Street Six ‎– Bonaparte's Retreat 
504 Records ‎– 504 LP.16 

A1 Waiting For Robert E. Lee 
A2 South Rampart Street Parade 
A3 Angry 
A4 Bonapartes' Retreat 
A5 Original Dixieland One Step 
A6 Land Of Dreams 
A7 Mahogany Hall Stomp 
A8 Royal Garden Blues 
B1 Sailing Down The Cheseapeak Bay 
B2 Millenburgs Joys 
B3 Margie 
B4 High Society 
B5 I'M Goiing Home

The LP cover has a pic of Bonaparte's Retreat.

I also forgot to mention earlier that I have a 12" LP 'Strictly Dixie featuring George Girard and The Basin Street Six' (Mercury MG 20151). 
It includes a great "Tin Roof Blues", a feature for Pete Fountain ala Irving Fazola. 
Jess and I hope you enjoyed Hogmanay. 

For those interested, most of this subject (but not the "Margie"query) was discussed on the DJML back in May 2006.
