Studios A & D were located in the same building as Columbia's offices at 799 7th Ave. Recorded: A NYC November 24, 1953 B1 to C1 NYC June 24, 1954 C2 to C4 NYC July 1, 1954 D NYC April 20, 1955 E NYC April 22, 1955 F1 to F5 NYC February 16, 1956 F6 to G1 NYC February 20, 1956 G2 to G5 NYC February 23, 1956 H1 I1 Newport Jazz Festival, July 5, 1956 I2 to I5 NYC June 28, 1957 J1 to K2 NYC August 19, 1957 K3 to L1 NYC September 24, 1957 L2 to L6 NYC September 25, 1957 M1 to N3 NYC January 27, 1962 N4 to N8 NYC September 4, 1962 CL 547 Jam Session Coast-to-coast CL 616 Jammin' At Condon's CL 719 Bixieland CL 881 Condon's Treasury Of Jazz CL 931 Louis Armstrong And Eddie Condon At Newport CL 1020 Jzz Omnibus (various artists) CL 1089 The Roaring Twenties # 0152 - The Complete CBS Recording of Eddie Condon and His All Stars Mosaic Discographies on livingwithmusic.com 8 CL 1970/CS 8770 The Giants Of Jazz (various artists) LN16024/BN17024 Midnight In Moscow P 14396 Chicago, My Home Town CJ-45145 Dixieland Jam CK-45145 CD reissue of above Note: All titles appeared on the Columbia label, except "Midnight In Moscow", which was issued on Epic, and "Chicago, My Home Town", which appeared in the Columbia Special Products Encore series. All sessions are mono except (M1 to N8) which have been mixed from the original three-track tapes to stereo. Producer's note: There are several fleeting drop-outs sprinkled throughout this set which are the result of tape deterioration. They are in all cases quite minor. The beginning of "How Come You Do Me Like You Do" (B) and "At The Jazz Band Ball" (E) and the ending of "I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me" (B) have an incorrectable problem, which causes the cymbals to sound out of phase. Sessions K, N & O are mixed from the original three-track masters. Because of the unusual way in which the instruments were assigned to each of the three tracks, session N is mixed with a very small stereo spread. The three-track master of "St. James Infirmary" contains a high-pitched oscillation tone, so the mono master was used. Although sessions L & M were also recorded on three-track tapes, no analog source other than mono can be found. It is those mono analog sources that appear here. Only a mono master source exists for the alternate take of "Tiger Rag". Additional note for CD edition: Because of the unusual way in which the instruments were assigned to each of the three tracks, session N is mixed with a very small stereo spread. Most of sessions L & M survived in stereo on the digital tape used for CK-45145. Although "What's The Use" does appear on that CD, the original ending has several bad notes. So the mono version with the proper insert ending, which appeared on # 0152 - The Complete CBS Recording of Eddie Condon and His All Stars Mosaic Discographies on livingwithmusic.com 9 M 14396 is used here. Also, the master take of "Apex Blues" and the alternate takes of "Minor Drag" and "Tiger Rag" only exist in mono.
