Ebay # 330322619215 shows Continental Album HOT JAZZ, No. CON-27. The titles are ESQUIRE JUMP, ESQUIRE STOMP, BLUE AT DAWN, BOUNCY, WHEN DAY IS DONE, and THE BEAT, by Cozy Cole's All Stars, Timmie Rosenkrantz and His "Barons", and Leonard Feather and His All Stars . These titles agree with the artists mentioned in the notes, and are actually on Continental 6009/12/14. It seems that the tune titles are not mentioned, and no Album number can be seen, so maybe this (CON-27) is only on the spine?
A similar album is offered as ebay # 120406615854, but this one contains Continental 6005-6007. Is this an incorrect (replaced) contents for this album, or did they use the same cover for various albums?

Is it known which albums are Nos. 1-26 & 28?  No.29 is Slam Stewart Swing Session. There also are albums by Ethel Waters, Dorethy Donegan, and "Continental Cocktail" and "Music Of The Orient", album nos. unknown to me.
