[Dixielandjazz] Django Reinhardt

[Bill Haesler]

> Has anybody got Django Reinhardt's double album "Swinging Lightly", Blue Diamond CBS2218, issued in the UK in 1985?  I am mentioning the year and place of issue because there is another compilation under the same title but not all the tracks thereon are the same.  The tracks are:

The 1954? 10" LP. Django 
> Oh, Lady Be Good 
> Dinah 
> Confessin' (That I Love You) 
> I Saw Stars 
> Tiger Rag 
> The Continental 
> Blue Drag 
> Sweet Sue, Just You 
> The Sunshine Of Your Smile 
> Swannee River 

The 1972 LP Swing It Lighty 
> 
> Nuages (Clouds) 
> Night And Day 
> September Song 
> Confessin' (That I Love You) 
> Testament 
> Brazil 
> Manoir De Mes Rêves 
> Blues For Ike 
> Insensiblement 
> Gypsy With A Song

> This is a reissue of a 1954 and 1972 LPs.  The 1972 LP is apparently some queer Columbia experiment in putting Django against the background of Guitars Unlimited.
> I am mainly interested in the personnel on the numbers without Guitars Unlimited.

Dear Marek,
Here I am again.
You missed the last digit on the catalogue number. It is Blue Diamond CBS 22186.

I have located the unwanted details for the 1972 LP.
Could this be the source for the 1950s LP (a 10").
It was reissued widely in various forms, including Australia. I had in in my collection.
