SR1858-1Bean and the boysSonora 3024, Esquire (E)EP192

SR1858-2Bean and the boys (*)-, Neatwork (Au)RP2014 [CD]

Also on Prestige PR7824 , Milestone 47015, Prestige PCD24124-2 [CD].

I have these titles on CD Prestige PRCD24124 2. In the notes, reprinted 
from Prestige 7824, Dan Morgenstern, in referring to "Bean and the boys" 
says that take -1 was previously unissued and unknown until producer Don 
Schlitten discovered it.

However, take -1 had been issued many years before on Esquire EP 192 
(which I have), correctly shown in Lord 10.0 shown above. It may have 
also have been issued on Sonora.

Take -1 is the inferior take, as noted by Morgenstern. Both takes may 
well have been issued on Sonora 78 at the time, but Schlitten and 
Morgenstern were both wrong to describe it as unissued and unknown. 
Perhaps they both got the take numbers mixed up?

Neatwork usually issue obscure takes, but in this case it was the 
superior take.
