Do NOT confuse this with the 10" LP entitled The Big Tenor and issued in the early 1950s Instead, this is a gatefold, two-LP set issued in 1985 It contains all the tracks which were on that original Big Tenor 10" LP, plus all the recorded alternate takes! It includes Randall's Island (3 takes), Old Folks (3 takes), King's Riff (1 take), and You're My Thrill (3 takes) These tracks were all recorded 12/27/51, and included a trumpeter known as "Tiger Brown" It was quickly revealed that Mr "Brown" was actually Maynard When you hear the tracks, there's NO DOUBT!!!! This is a FANTASTIC 2-LP set
