The label says The Perennial GEORGE LEWIS but the music doesn't

[tjluke68]

I recently picked up some George Lewis (the clarinetist) LPs on ebay and was listening to THE PERENNIAL GEORGE LEWIS, when I wanted to see who was playing the vibes, the guitar, etc. Well those instruments weren't listed on the LP back-cover. Then I took a look at the LP and realized there were 4 songs, however the cover listed both side 1 and 2 as having 5 songs each.

I'm sure this has many times, but the thing that pisses me off is I was really, really diggin' the vibes, guitar, clarinet, piano, bass, drums (maybe even trumpet) mix and I have no clue what LP it's from. I'll have to listen to it again to see if I can distinguish any cover tunes and then scour allmusic.com (or elsewhere) to determine what I'm listening to.

Anyone have the same LP or the actual songs?

Thanks!

I forgot to mention that it leads me to believe it was a mis-pressing on Side 2 of the LP I have. Really wonder what I'm listening to - it's a TRUMPET player version of the LP, so probably something from the 50s...

Check the matrix #s in the dead wax of the mis-pressed side & report them here. Somebody will be able to tell you waht it is you're hearing.

OK, the matrix # is 8277, but the first 7 is so faint that it looks like a 1. So searching the net - looks like they put YUSEF LATEEF - BEFORE DAWN on that side.

I'll have to find that LP since what I heard was mighty tasty.

Plus gotta find another copy of THE PERENNIAL unless someone wants to share a WAV or MP3 of Side 2.

Thanks again for the help - didn't think to look at the matrix numbers.
