What were the original CD release dates of the various albums?
A. The first six TJB albums plus THE BEAT OF THE BRASS and CHRISTMAS ALBUM were released in 1988 when record companies were scrambling to get their catalogs out on CD. S.R.O. and THE BRASS ARE COMIN’ were released soon after that in Japan, but never in the U.S. All of the various compilations have been released on CD at some point, but none (except DEFINITIVE HITS) is available today.
