***Note:  There is a RARE label discrepancy. The printing on the label and the matrix number is MG-12001 for SAVOY MG12001 "The Immortal Charlie Parker" 1955. This LABEL also STATES "VOLUME 2" and there is NO discog on a Volume 2 for MG-12001 that was ever recorded. Same year, 1955, but album different titles.

1955 Savoy MG-12000 "Charlie Parker Memorial Volume 1" and 1955 Savoy MG-12009 "Charlie Parker Memorial Volume 2", of which MG 12009 is a reissue of 9001.  Per GOLDMINES Price Guide Collectable Jazz 1949-1969.
