The article says that this is the debut album of Lester Young. This statement is loaded with flaws: 1, he debuted with Count Basie; 2, these recordings are not Lester Young recordings, per se, but rather, recordings under the leadership of Benny Goodman, Count Basie and Teddy Wilson (or Billie Holiday); 3, these tunes were not released in album format in the 1930s, they were released as single 78 RPM discs, having one song on each side of the vinyl record. Thus, this was not a debut album.
And where is the info on record label or catalog number? This is most likely a semi-legal European reissue of 1930s recordings originally from Columbia Records.
And, there are no references or sources for this article. Dogru144 ( talk) 18:38, 25 August 2011 (UTC) reply
This article has identical flaws with another article on a Lester Young CD compilation. I have included the comments as they are pertinent here. I wonder whether this article is actually regarding a bootleg (not properly licensed) compilation of a CD, given that there is no discographical information. If this is the case, this article could serve as commercial promotion for said new CD.
First, the release date was given as identical to the last date identified among the various recording dates.
Second, the recording is given as album, yet with the original release date this is an error, as there were no long playing vinyl albums until the end of the 1940s.
Third, the running time is given as around 56 minutes. Jazz albums of short compositions such as these, in compilation format, were never release in the LP era. The running time of 56 minutes indicates a compact disc. Are compilations on minor or semi-legal non-US recording labels usually included in wikipedia?
Fourth, there is no record company or catalog number given. For that matter, no reference is given for this article.
Fifth, the last point is crucial, as it would help differentiate the album from numerous other releases that appear in the most comprehensive popular recording database, allmusic.com, with the same exact album title.
Sixth, the song configuration correlates with no album that appears in the above database or in amazon.com
For the above reasons, I recommend this article for deletion. Dogru144 ( talk) 18:34, 25 August 2011 (UTC) reply
Delete: This looks like a CD that was released in 2001, and one of many trivial compilations. It should be deleted due to lack of coverage in multiple reliable sources. Mattg82 ( talk) 01:59, 2 September 2011 (UTC) reply
