Julian -
     I am playing the record now, the LP I have is Felsted stereo SJA 
2003- listening to Bear Wallow now, nice record,there is a bad edit from 
the end of Bailey's solo to the ensemble IMHO, the fade is about 12 bars 
later - the fade itself is not too bad actually, but is the splice on 
the mono LP I wonder, let me know if you need a mp3 ...
While we are on this LP - the second track is almost Cushion Foot Stomp 
(Harton Avenue and Gayoso Street) ... a very nice LP, just wish Hilton, 
Vic and Herman were on the whole LP, Autrey sounds so much better here 
than on the Fats Waller 78's, but I am going to get into trouble for 
saying that I guess ... but then this IS one of my favourite records
a happy new year to you

Yves,
What I would like to get again is the original mono version--don't know 
why I got rid of it. Perhaps I was fixated on stereo-izing my collection 
at the time? Much as I like the LP, I've never been entirely happy about 
Jimmy Crawford's drummer--not forceful enough for my liking. Same as on 
the Henderson Reunion on Jazztone, which also included Bailey & 
Jefferson. Other things about the Jazztone was there was too much 
jamming and not enough big band stuff but the arrangements that were 
played weren't from my favourite Henderson period--too close to the 
burgeoning Benny Goodman sound. Now, if they'd tackled "My Sweet Tooth 
Says 'I Wanna' But My Wisdom Tooth Says 'No'"!

No don't apologise about Waller's men playing better away from the man 
himself--I feel the same. If only Waller had utilised the talents that 
were on the Red Allen Vocalions...
