    This overlooked classic is due for a new CD issue, as unlikely as that'd be

      The booklet I have with art by Sharpe credits Smithsonian for distribution, 1978 (P)
      Found over the weekend, Voom Voom records (Observatory, Cape Town)
      Constant listening since the weekend.

          The discography that comes with copy I own is different from the one that is shown. There is no photo of Coleman and first recording listed is from 1949.
