My mouth is now officially watering for the version of Ellington's Fargo concert that Skip mentions. Skip, do you find this label at your local stores, or is it a mail order thing? And yes, I'll jump in with a hearty "Damn straight!" as regards those Rhino X reissues, of which I've grabbed four of the six so far (the first three and 'Ain't Love Grand?'). The candid and revealing liner notes are also worth treasuring - particularly painful are those dealing with recording 'Ain't Love Grand?' with a hair-metal producer who basically wanted to scrub Exene out of the picture.
