Notes:

Exquisite recording. A real fine specimen. The sound is good, and the playing is better.
“New Sound Planet/Jazz Up JU 327 also lists “I Can’t Get Started”
(3:03) and “I Cover the Waterfront” (4:21) as including Davis, but I
don’t hear him. On Jazz Door “Polishin’ Brass” is listed as “Untitled
Original.””- Credit to Peter Losin, http://www.plosin.com

Original notes :

This version is more complete than the previously released LL43. This is the most complete version known to circulate.
02 is cut at the end of the track
There is the standard flaws with this recording as is to be expected from a 61 year old recording, but it is still listenable.
A fine early specimen

Made into one track.
Izotope RX > attenuated buzz at around 16k – not too audible but clears the top end a little (from 3min 50 to end of source)
Very light noise reduction – mostly to remove the vinyl rumble and low hum occurring.
Inverted phase of right channel to make the whole thing mono.
Normalised.
Exported, into audacity where I redid track markers, and exported as flac8 – including the announcment track initially removed.
