Fresh Sound (old) CDs - dates of recording

[Fer Urbina]

Hello everyone.

On the back of the Fresh Sound reissue (FSR-CD 76, 1989) of the Eddie Costa-Vinnie Burke Trio it says the date of recording is September 29, 1956, which is wrong.

Anyways, by complete chance I've just realized that FSR-CD 80, The New Johnny Smith Quartet, has exactly the same date of recording.

I suspect one was used as a template for the other and they forgot to change the date. If anyone has copies of CDs from that series of c. 1989 Fresh Sound reissues, catalog numbers around FSR-CD 80, could you check what are the dates of recording? Incidentally those two reissues are from the EMI rooster, via Roulette (Jubilee and Roost respectively), and licenced by "SOVISA" of Madrid.

Tiny pieces of minutiae, I know, but I'm really curious, because the Costa date doesn't make any sense (it's actually impossible).

Thanks!

Fernando

Thanks for that (from Tony King's disco, right?). Should have mentioned I'm aware of February 1956 as the most likely date for this recording.

I think I've seen others with dates that don't make much sense, can't recall which one(s) it was (were) though. But I don't have many early FSR-CDs. Some are done extremely sloppily, with liners copied from various sources in various sizes of print and stuff like that (the Mariano Plays or the Williamson Plays, I think). Not a bad idea that they reissue their own releases with new numbers and new booklets/design, even if they're otherwise identical (I've not made comparisons of sound though, but as they don't have access to any masters...)
