looks like bear family, of the big expensive box sets, has mp3 files for download now. and i guess they'll burn them to a cd-r for you for a cool $950. :o) surely they mean 9.50, yeah?
they all seem to be mis-priced:

Very weird pricing indeed. I had a hunch it was a Bear release, and it is great to know they are making these hard-to-find recordings available for mp3 download.
Here's a link to the actual mp3 downloads:

And while I am at it, another Bear release of some sweet Ellington:
New York, March 1959
