Re: [ARSCLIST] Bix Memorial Album

[Michael Fitzgerald <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Both the Jean Pierre Lion book "Bix" and Russell Sanjek's book 
"American Popular Music and Its Business" refer to it as a six-disc set.

The WorldCat entry (OCLC: 48943573) is for a six-disc set and the 12 
sides of Victor P-4 are listed here:

<http://bixography.com/recordingsjoel/bix78albums.htm>

Via a Google search I see the mentions of "7-disc" sets 
(<http://www.normanfield.com/bixmemorialalbum.htm> including booklet 
scans - all on the same site, aren't they?), but don't see any data 
to support this. Seems like someone either had a slip of the finger 
or perhaps it's just wishful thinking. Or if you're a pessimist, it's 
a collector's "mind game" kind of thing: my Bix is bigger than yours....
