Flying Home and Star Dust, from a 15 Jan 1940 NBC broadcast to
Scandinavia, are indeed newly released tracks. These two alone are well
worth the $30 cost for the set from The Jazz Store. Seems like some
fans are going to delay getting it until it's no longer available;
then later we'll be hearing a lot of griping about how they can only
get it for ten times as much on e-Bay.

I don't believe anyone has mentioned that GWWD (24 Feb 1941) is not
a never-before-released item. That track was first released on a
Swedish bootleg LP and, more recently, reissued on half-a-dozen CDs.

and otherwise crappy downloads of these great rare 'live' recordings via
their system. One could play the waiting game and find the stuff in a
Lossless form at one of many torrent download sites eventually. Given
the option of actually owning the discs I always reach for my wallet,
but in the meantime I am not opposed to snagging a freebie download here
and there. I'm just not going to pay a buck a tune to some company like
Amazon or iTunes, both of whom could actually provide a decent rip of
the music in FLAC audio files that sound good enough to keep, so to
speak. But I digress...

the double CD set new for $25 smackeroos plus the usual dollar
three-eighty-five for shipping and handling to my door. I was about to
spring for the Complete 12 Vol set of the Goodman Yale Archives material
consisting of 13 discs total for a whopping C-note and a half plus S&H
but I can scour around the web and elsewhere and find the other discs in
the set for little more than I fronted for Vol 11 & 12. I like Goodman,
especially with Charlie Christian, but Benny also had other great
guitarists who I enjoy, so I plan to accumulate the entire set.

before released of the Sextet featuring Charlie, Flying Home and
Stardust from Jan 15, 1940 (The Scandinavia Broadcasts) and Gone With
What Draft from February 24, 1941. There are also full orchestra
releases that Charlie may be on as well. While I wasn't able to buy the
CD, I was able to download it from Amazon.com. It does not appear to be
available on iTunes yet.
