Ellington Indigos
Ellington Indigos is a 1958 jazz album by Duke Ellington.
The stereo CD reissue released by Columbia in 1987 contains a track listing and cover art that is drastically different from the original mono LP. A change in song order and two additional songs – "Night and Day" and "All The Things You Are" – were added to the CD, while "The Sky Fell Down" was omitted.
Alternate versions
The original mono and stereo LP issues contained some different takes between them on various tracks, "Willow [Weep for Me]" being one of them.The CD liner notes say that "All The Things You Are and "Night and Day" were previously unreleased versions and that "Autumn Leaves" was an alternate take. Analyzing the two versions of "Autumn Leaves" shows that they are identical; however, the LP has Ozzie Bailey's first vocal chorus edited out.. The stereo versions of "Mood Indigo" and "Willow Weep for Me" are different from their mono counterparts.
There are a multitude of versions of this album in circulation. For instance, there is another mono take of "Mood Indigo" available on the LP.
