I have a number of the above, which a quick check reveals that some are Duke Ellington recordings.
My question is; should I accord each one of them a separate entry or simply add them to the existing officially released recordings? Given these are on a different - albeit 'test pressing' label - my inclination is to create new entries but I'm happy to go along with whatever the Mods think.....

If the artist isn't actually listed on the labels, then you should enter them as [no artist listed] and then add in the Notes that they appear to be Duke Ellington recordings.

These appear to be home made recordings - one offs for personal use, maybe taken from official media. Sound News (?) did quite a few of these and other people offered a service where (before tape cassette) you could pay someone to copy vinyl to vinyl. Some of these sell for big money to people who don't realise that they're just the official release dubbed onto recordable media, because people assume that vinyl cannot be copied onto...
