[78-L] Kansas City Jazz (Decca DL-8044) 78 rpm set info?

[Glenn Longwell]

I had a nice collection of 78s come in last year with a lot of jazz and jazz re-issues (plus the usual garbage) and this album was one of them.  I kept about 600 records from that collection and as I went through it I kept searching hoping to find the rest of the records but I only found 2 of the 5 from this album.  What a tease...

If I recall correctly the quality of the pressing wasn't that good on mine, the usual "sweep up the floor and add that to the shellac mix to make a grainy pressing so we can make a few more records" problem.
