Why did I forget the Sparton?

The LP "Swedish Jazz; Gosta Theselius and All Stars" was published 1956 in the USA by Bally and in Canada (also the UK?) by Sparton – the same record with number 12002. The Canadian Cover has the Sparton name printed along the upper edge on the Bally cover. Sparton printed their own red labels – Bally's were blue.
This session was brought to my attention by Bengt-Arne Wallin, who recalled a session organized by a Belgian producer (Jacques Kluger).
A Swedish issue appeared some twenty years later on Gazell. Lars solos on Cool and Cozy, The Swingin' Thirds and his own Bugs. The second baritone solo on Cool is played by Lennart Jansson.

Photo credits

An email that disappeared in the final book production contained captions and credits. Here are the missing details:
Nils Edström photographed at the Golden Circle, Jan Fridlund in Teatro Lirico in Milano and Bengt H. Malmqvist in Paris for the Estrad cover.
Thanks to Jan, who rediscovered his Milan negatives, taken 47 years ago, and let me scan them, thanks to Nils who shared his huge archive of jazz photographs.

Japanese Metronome issues

I had to leave a hole in the discography in order to have it ready for printing. The omission is the details on several Japanese reissues of Metronome LPs. Just recently did I find some details on the web: http://park8.wakwak.com/~morizane/DISK_BARI/BARI/baritone_etc_2.html.
Still the record numbers are absent.

Agda really exists

When I found the title "Smart Agda" in the database of The Swedish National Archive of Recorded Sound and Moving Images (SLBA, Ljud- och bildarkivet) , I thought is was a typo - and chief discographer Björn Englund promised to correct it. But Gullin's tune Smart Alec was in fact published as Smart Agda along with Smooth Breeze on Esquire 10-338.
