Looking for specific Lambert Hendricks and Ross lyrics

January 6, 2008 10:12 AM

We're about to purchase the Lambert, Hendricks and Ross CD "Sing a Song of Basie", but need to know if John Hendricks lyrics are included in the remastered CD liner notes.
We know that they were there with the original vinyl, but online retailers are annoyingly vague about the CD.
Does anyone have this CD? Could you let me know?

I have the Impulse CD which has a "GRP PRESENTS • THE LEGENDARY MASTERS OF JAZZ" logo on the front, and the lyrics for all the songs (except "One O'Clock Jump" which also isn't credited to Jon Hendricks, but including "Everyday" which was written by Peter Chatman a.k.a. Memphis Slim) are in the booklet.

Best answer: I am holding the 'Verve Master Edition' remaster (2001 release, 13 tracks, ASIN B000058A17, Verve catalog number 731454382724, here's an Amazon link) in my hand right now, and, yep, the booklet contains Hendricks' lyrics (except for 'One O'Clock Jump' and the bonus tracks--the booklet also reproduces the back cover of the original LP, which doesn't seem to include 'One O'Clock Jump' either).
