..a 2cd set called "Microphone Music" out on Basta.
featuring original recordings of mr Scott.

from www.bastamusic.com:

"The title refers to Scott's emphasis on the microphone
as a "seventh member" of his legendary six-man Quintette,
and the mic's importance in helping Scott shape the recorded
sound of his ensembles. The 42-track compilation features
unreleased titles, radio performances, first-rate
rehearsals, and out of print gems by the Raymond Scott
Quintette, recorded between 1937 and 1939. The collection
was mastered from discs preserved in the Scott archives. It
includes the first CD release (* and first EVER release) of
the following Scott recordings:

A Little Bit of Rigoletto.*
The Girl with the Light Blue Hair.*
The Happy Farmer.*
Dead End Blues.*
Egyptian Barn Dance.*
Harlem Hillbilly.*
Hypnotist in Hawaii.*
Microphone Music.*
Pretty Petticoat.*
Square.Dance.for.Eight.Egyptian.Mummies.*
Suicide Cliff.*
Swing, Swing Mother-in-Law.*
The Quintette Goes to a Dance.*
Turkish Mish-Mush.*
Yesterday's Ice Cubes.*

...as well as spirited performances of a few non-Scott
compositions (e.g., "Bugle Call Rag"* & "Brass Buttons and
Epaulettes"*). The compilation also includes remastered
transfers of RSQ radio and rehearsal recordings originally
released in 1991 on the now out of print Stash Records CD
("The Raymond Scott Project") and reprints of late 1930s
newspaper and magazine articles about Scott and his
pioneering music and studio engineering.
Produced by Irwin Chusid. Comes on 2 cd`s in a slim jewel
case and a 32-page booklet."
