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

[David Lennick]

Volumes 1 & 2 of "Gems of Jazz" are the most common, in my experience, and 
almost always broken up..all the Bunny Berigans in one place, the Mildred 
Baileys in another, and so forth. These are real gems because they're from the 
sides originally produced by John Hammond for English Columbia and Parlophone, 
recorded by Columbia in New York, and not issued in the States originally. 
Ironic that they'd end up on Decca, but that was through Decca's permanent link 
with Parlophone and Odeon.

And of course there's Five Feet of Swing (A-131, 15013 + 15038/41, twelve-inch).
