These Columbia "Stereo Seven" label 33 RPM records, numbers S7 31433 to 31437, were packaged in a brown jacket that says "Stereo Seven Artist of the Week", for jukeboxes only.

The five 7 inch LPs are well known among Ellington collectors. The music is the same as the 12 inch LP "All American in Jazz," Columbia CL-1790 and is also on Columbia CD 469138-2.

The music is by Charlie Strouse and Lee Adams from the musical ALL AMERICAN, arranged for the Ellington orchestra by Billy Strayhorn (8 selections) and probably Ellington (2 selections: Nightlife and What a Country!). It is not one of Ellington's masterpieces, according to DEMS.

Zorch's Inner Sanctum blog has more information about the seven inch LP series.
