[78-L] Morey Amsterdam on Sunset

Wed Jun 10 16:17:17 PDT 2009

I'm pretty sure the Signature and Roulette albums are the same. I recognize 
many of those titles from the Roulette LP but have never seen the Signature, 
and those two companies shared some other masters.

I have the Longines set but haven't looked at it in years.
