Date for Mingus Wonderland Stereo Release

[(BB)]

I having a tough time figuring when this was copy of Charles Mingus - Wonderland (UAJS 15005) was released.

I know it was a "re-issue" of UAS 5063 ("Jazz Portraits")

Recorded Jan 16th, 1959, Nonagon Art Gallery, NYC

Booker Evan, John Handy, Richard Wyands, Charles Mingus, Danny Richmond

Side 1: Nostalgia In Times Square, I Can't Get Started

Side 2: No Private Income Blues, Alice's Wonderland

Notes on back by Nat Hentoff

United Artists Records 729 Seventh Ave., New York 19, NY

Plastylite "ear" in dead wax

Most discographies refer to UAJS 15005 as "Mingus in Wonderland" and everything here says Charles Mingus - Wonderland, no "in".

Separate but related question, when did plastylite start/stop using the "ear" symbol?

Any information or additional sources would be appreciated.

The 'Mainstream Jazz 1949-1965' guide published in 1984 in their Records Collectors Reference & Price Guide series lists UAJS 15005 as having been released in 1962 which should be accurate.

Thanks,

The used bookstore in town has some old price guides, guess I should pick one up.

As per Michael Cuscuna, only half of the concert was released as Wonderland. Te tapes of the other 4 tunes have disappeared [i doubt that RVG didn't tape the whole gig].
