Why is this record so rare?
Label co-owner Max Roach played drums on a number of Debut albums but released only one of his own, Max Roach Quartet (DLP-13), featuring the tenor sax of Hank Mobley. It was recorded relatively early in Debut’s history, in April 1953, but was not released until late 1954 .In the Eighties, Fantasy reissued it as an Original Jazz Classic 12-inch LP and added four new (never before released) tracks by a septet which added trumpet, trombone and alto sax to the quartet and were, Fantasy says, "recorded at the same April 10, 1953 session."
DEBUT LABEL BACKROUND
The Debut label is one which collectors have pursued since the Fifties. As a jazz label it was unusual because it was owned by two jazz artists, the drummer Max Roach and the bassist and composer Charles Mingus. Because it was a tiny label its records were not widely distributed, but many of them earned rave reviews in the jazz press of the day, giving them an added value.
Debut released only 26 albums, the majority of them 10-inch LPs. Debut issued seventeen 10-inch LPs. There were in addition nine 12-inch LPs. The 10-inch LPs were released in 1953, 1954 and 1955. In 1956 six 12-inch LPs were released. In 1957 two more 12-inch LPs were released, and in 1958 only one was released. After that the label and its assets were sold to Fantasy Records, which reissued the more popular albums and, in the Eighties, reissued many of the 10-inch LPs as 12-inch LPs but with their original packaging replicated
