Lester Young photos courtesy of Colin Escott. Note: Aladdin 78-126 contained "It's Better To Give Than To Receive" backed with "See See Rider". On a handful of initial copies, an untitled instrumental (which we are calling "Riffin' Without Helen") was accidentally used in place of "See See Rider". Henry Renard, who purchased one of these at the time of release, notified Jerry Valburn of its existence and kindly loaned us this priceless disc for transfer.
