[78-L] Chick Webb / Ella Fitzgerald

[Scott]

Thanks Han. The sunburst Decca that I have is -B, however, the B is reversed
! According to the list of metal parts that Universal Music has, there is a
-A. The trouble is I can't get at them because they now reside at the
Library of Congress and they haven't sorted and cataloged them yet (and who
knows how long that is going to take).

The orig. issue of Decca 1061-A "Darktown Strutter's Ball" has the sunburst
label.

I have a single label image of the later pressing with the block label.

On this the mx is badly visible, but it looks almost like 61422A.

So can anyone confirm the take for the block label issue?

>>> Does anyone out there have Decca 1061 by Ella Fitzgerald & her Savoy
Eight -
"Darktown Strutter's Ball" with take -A? (the common take is actually -B). 

And does Chick Webb's "Midnite In A Madhouse" on Australian Decca Y5208
exist with -A? The common US Decca uses -B and even though the Decca Jazz CD
of the 1990s ("Spinnin the Webb") claims it uses -A it's really -B. 

Thanks !
