Artie Shaw track - I Ain't Comin

Message

I have a double CD set called Stardust (blue cover) from Delta Music (63015) that has a fabulous track called "I Ain't Comin". The sax playing is so good it makes my spine tingle.
However, the sound quality is a bit distorted and fierce at times, so I was wondering if anyone else knows of a better quality recording.

Thanks
Chris

I know all those titles except that one.

Sure it isn't "I'm Comin', Virginia"?

Nope. It's definitely "I ain't comin".
See...

In fact, the track listing on CD2 of my Stardust double CD is in fact identical to the lazerlight CD.

Laserlight has made glaring mistakes in the past.

Do you know the song, "I'm Coming, Virginia"?

Do you have an audio sample of 'I Ain't Comin' that we can hear?

No. I took a listen and they are completely different tracks.
I don't know how i can provide a sample of the track. Any thoughts on how to do that?

OK - not the same song. No need for a sample in that case.

Happy hunting!

Clarification -

It was broadcast by NBC. It was not recorded for them. These were not 'recordings'. They were broadcasts that happened to be/get 'recorded'.

btw- NBC Red or NBC Blue?

I've never done it, but I think you'd have to do the following:

1. Create MP3 (or similar format that most people will be able to hear)

2. Upload the MP3 to a website

3. Link to it

So, you need access to a website and the knowledge to upload the sample to it.

Is that the track you have Chris? Sounds like a rocking live performance.

I just got this on CD ROM (an old version that was not too expensive) - it's pretty sweet! Finally, I can find out that Bob Crosby's Christopher Columbus was recorded in 1936...
