[78-L] JATP Albums on Disc and Mercury Label Records

[Han Enderman]

The program does not belong to a 78rpm set but was the program for the
7th National Tour: Fall, 1948.
The nr of the tour is given in the intro, and the Wiki overview gives this date.

Note that for some musicians it is said to be their first or second JATP tour,
but when I looked into my (old) New Grove Jazz the tour was not mentioned
under Tommy Potter & Al Haig, for ex.

There was a single Asch album (453), but I have images of 2 different Stinson covers, 
one as on Asch (grey with the red trumpeter), and another one showing Carnegie Hall
and a sax player in red on a greyish background.
Issues on Disc & Clef are a bit confusing to me, since there are JATP numbers but 
also release numbers.
Highest 78rpm JATP album nrs I have seen are JATP-5 on Disc, and 7 on Clef.
Mercury issued at least 2-14.
There was a How High The Moon album (blue cover) on Mer, but I'm not sure if it is JATP 1 or 2.
A single image of Mer JATP vol.2 cover (contents unknown) is red, with sax player (with
sax & hat like Lester ).

Did Thomas never compile a list?

>>> They started with Asch, then Disc.  With JATP 4 coming out in 1947 it would have been Disc that it first came out on.  I have most of these sets and they span various labels - Disc, Asch, Mercury, Clef.  I have not found any with inserts though so that's a nice bonus.  Thanks for sharing.

Here's the "unofficial" chronology from Wackypedia.

I just brought home JATP Vol 4 album on the DISC label.  Inside was a 16 page 'program' talking about JATP albums on Mercury label, Vol 6 - Vol 8.  Is this program original to the DISC album?  You can view scans of the program here:

Did DISC make the early JATP albums, then MERCURY made the rest?  Or did Mercury release the originally then DISC re-issue them?  I guess I am confused about the chronology of releases and which labels were used.  Any comments?
 
Thanks!  Cliff

Asch for the first volume (and #2?), then DISC, then Mercury, then possibly 
Norgran or a special JATP label, then ultimately Verve. Moe Asch's labels kept 
going out of business and Stinson claimed JATP Volume 1 and kept it in print. 
I've also had The Groove Juice Symphony on both Disc and Mercury.

That'a quite a quality note about JATP--better than the stuff Granz 
would write himself about musicians. JATP is misspelled a couple of 
times as "JAPT"! And it's the first picture I've seen of Tommy Turk, 
looking at odds with his blustery style.
