The record

Prestige put this out as a memorial -- the title says as much -- with PRST 7755 on the spine and a 1969 stereo pressing. Eight titles, from 'St. Louis Blues' to 'Sleepytime Gal', and the credits name only Allen himself: no sidemen, no session dates, nothing to tell you when or with whom any of it was cut.

  2. St. Louis Blues
  3. I Ain't Got Nobody
  4. Nice Work (If You Can Get It)
