Daniel A Posted June 27, 2004 Report Posted June 27, 2004 (edited) I recently found one of those LRC CDs with cheap-looking cover art and meagre discographical info. It has the full contents of the Manny Albam album 'Soul of a City', and roughly half of 'Brass on Fire', both issued on Solid State in 1966. The CD is titled 'Sketches from the Book of Life', cat. no. CDC 9035, and sounds like a dub straight from an LP. The tray card lists the full personnel on the 'Brass on Fire' tracks, but only the soloists on the 'Soul of a City' session. Does anyone around here have the original LP? I wouldn't hope for that the complete personnel is listed there, but I figured I could at least ask... The soloists are given in the AMG entry: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&u...l=Aja1gtq9zbu48 Edited June 27, 2004 by Daniel A Quote
