just ordered this one myself. The price has gone down it was orig. $150. I hope this lives up to my expectations. I'll let you all know when I receive it.

I'll look forward to what you have to say Rick, even with the lower price I'd like to have some idea of what it's like.

On a preliminary flip through, I noticed a load more text concerning the shows and the recording sessions. There are a lot more reviews and press related info. There didn't seem to be much of that in the 93 version. Of course being 15 years later the discog. is more thorough. There are many more photos of releases, concert shots and there's a high gloss center section with some that I haven't seen before. Federico maybe you can enlighten me but I thought the Dinah Washington question has never been fully explained. The 93 version states that Fuji wasn't sure if Trane ever played on a Dinah recording. I don't know if the writers found more evidence or not but it they are published as happening. There's a lot more info on early days including some names I have never heard before. As far as the price goes it is pretty steep but I have to keep in mind that I am paying for the time and research that went into this. I may be hasty in saying this but it's gotta be the last word on the professional years of Coltrane.

I don't know how they settled that question or even how certain they are. I looked around the discography website, checked the updates, etc. but I don't see any reference to the issue.
