That's the version I got also--the newer label. A bit disappointed as I prefer the original tan label, but I'm not complaining since it was sealed. "Day-O" is a bit strange, but probably because the Belafonte version is burned into my genetic code. (I played the heck out of Calypso when I was a kid.)
I ordered a Richard Barbary LP last night--it should be here within the week. To add another title to the order, I found some rare Mancini soundtrack on MCA ('W.C. Fields and Me'), sealed, for only $2.99.
I have a Tamiko Jones in my cart but can't seem to press the Checkout button just yet...what little I've heard I don't really care for, but given its rarity and a shot at completing the set, I'm thinking I should get one. And who knows? It might grow on me.
The original version of "Trust in Me" from the soundtrack has a flute shadowing Sterling Holloway's vocals on that part. So before I heard the Soul Flutes record, I was hoping it was the same tune--in fact, I thought it probably would be.
