I am sending you audio copies of my versions of Blues in Orbit, because I have a feeling that maybe some confusion has been creeping in. I have copied the tracks 10 and 18 of Columbia/Legacy CK 87041 "Blues in Orbit". The liner-notes (p3) say that track 10 has take -6 and that track 18 has take -2. I have copied as third example track 1 of the CD Columbia Jazz Masterpieces CK 44051 "Blues in Orbit", from which the liner-notes say that the date of the recording was 12Feb58. The fourth selection is a copy of track 8 from the Columbia/Legacy CD CK 65566 "Black, Brown and Beige". The liner-notes (p7) say that this was take -2. I have added three takes from my chronological "archival" tape. They should be correct and beyond any doubt (Studio tapes etc.) My "archival" recordings are identical with your three takes, which you had numbered respectively as take -1 from 4Feb58 and takes -2 and -6 from 12Feb58.
The open question is now, are the sleeve notes correct in every respect (I have one doubt), but I may be wrong.

It was a good idea to copy the two tracks from your recent Columbia/Legacy release CK 87041. I have compared these two tracks with the tracks on my Columbia/Legacy release 512915. They are identical.
As I stated before: most of the sleeve notes are mistaken. The following overview is correct.
Take -1 was recorded on 4Feb58 and was according to the New DESOR released for the first time on track 5 of side B of the LP Columbia CL-1445; on the LP Philips 847004 (according to Jerry Valburn's Directory identical with the LP Columbia CS 8241); on track 1 of Columbia CD CK 44051; on track 14 of the CD Giants of Jazz 53066; on track 10 of your CK 87041 and of my 512915.
Take -2 was recorded on 12Feb58 and was released on track 8 of Columbia CD CK 65566 and on track 18 of your CK 87041 and of my 512915.
Take -6 was recorded on 12Feb58 and was only released (until now) on a Columbia 45 rpm NP 4 41689.
