jakethehiggler 10th Oct 2015		OK. Just to complicate the matter further, my copy has the A side as 01068-A and the B side as 1068 B. Both sides show the artist as Duke Ellington And His Famous Orchestra. (Images added)



soultwinz SUBS 2nd Aug 2015		even the image for the first release of the Jungle band 1068, is not a first issue, but a slightly later one from 1932...the images in this listing stem from 1941..if that makes any sense :)



fixbutte 29th Jul 2014		Thanks RadnaNotions. Your comment does not muddy the waters but clear them. We can assume now that the first Brunswick 01068 came out in 1933 (as the record was permanently in the catalogue), already with "Mood Indigo" as the A-side, even if the displayed labels may belong to a much later copy. What we don't know is when the credits on Brunswick 1068 (originally released in 1931) were changed from The Jungle Band to Duke Ellington And His Famous Orchestra and when the title was changed there from "Dreamy Blues" to "Mood Indigo". Interestingly, on the original US Brunswick 4952 issue only the song title was changed. The artist indication was only changed on the Brunswick 6682 reissue in 1933. As said before, Brunswick's recording of "Dreamy Blues" was the same take as "Mood Indigo". Both have matrix E34928-A.



RadnaNotions 28th Jul 2014		Just to muddy the waters, Brunswick added a zero to the front of their cat nos. in 1933. Earlier releases that were still in the catalogue just got the zero added to the front. Mood Indigo was in the catalogue for many, many years. There are early copies bearing 1068 with a different credit - and that could be a different take for all I know - but there are 1068 copies with this credit and really they're the same release as this. This is just a later copy (and seriously, it could be a lot later).



fixbutte 28th Jul 2014		Deleted the "1930" release year and edited the record notes. Here's from A Duke Ellington Panorama about the Brunswick session: October 17, 1930. New York. Brunswick recording session at Brunswick Studio. The Jungle Band: Freddy Jenkins, Arthur Whetsel, Cootie Williams, t; Joe Nanton, tb; Juan Tizol, vtb; Barney Bigard, cl, ts; Johnny Hodges, as, ss, cl; Harry Carney, bs, cl, as; Duke Ellington, p; Fred Guy, bj; Wellman Braud, b; Sonny Greer, d.

fixbutte 28th Jul 2014		This is a reissue of Brunswick 1068 (not a different take) because of two reasons: – All Brunswick recordings of Duke Ellington from 1929-1931 were originally credited to The Jungle Band (in the USA and in UK/Europe). – The Brunswick version of "Mood Indigo" (recorded on Oct 17, 1930, matrix E34928-A) was originally released as "Dreamy Blues" (like the OKeh version recorded three days earlier, matrix W404481-A). It was apparently retitled after the release of the Victor version with this name (recorded on Dec 10, 1930, matrix BVE64811-4). In addition, this issue (Brunswick 01068) was definitely not released in 1930 but probably around 1933/1934. In 1934, US Brunswick reissued most of the records formerly credited to The Jungle Band as by Duke Ellington And His Famous Orchestra (Brunswick 6801-6814, 6846). Already in the end of 1933, "Mood Indigo" c/w "Black And Tan Fantasy" was reissued on Brunswick 6682 with the altered artist indication (original US issue of "Dreamy Blues" by The Jungle Band on Brunswick 4952 in Nov 1930).



carryonsidney 28th Jul 2014		I put up the Jungle Band the other day here. I have reason to believe that the Jungle Band was issued in late 1930 about the same time as this, but release dates are difficult, what isn't, though, is the recording dates. It transpires this was recorded one day before the other. There is a very good webpage detailing the sessions here. So therefore, this record is not a straight reissue as it is a different take.



lorangrecords 26th Jul 2014		Sorry, but I don't understand how the re-issue was rel. before the "original" Please, let me understand :-)



soultwinz SUBS 26th Jul 2014		This is just a straight reissue of the Jungle Band number on Brunswick 1068 released in 1931.
