    Hey gang,
    Can anyone confirm or deny if the US 1971 Columbia pressing of Charles Mingus - Mingus Ah Um has the overdubbed bass? Columbia ‎– CS 8171, Vinyl LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo.
    Red label with "Columbia" in orange repeated along edge , Along outer edge: "® "Columbia", [logo] Marcas Reg. Printed in U.S.A."
    Thank you!!

    What is this pressing that you speak of? Maybe a little more detail for us that don't know.

    Maybe I'm misinformed, but read that Charles Mingus overdubbed some of his bass work to accentuate sound on albums. I could be wrong though...

    Maybe it was just on The Quintet - Jazz at Massey Hall.
    From Wikipedia:
    Mingus took the recording to New York where he and Max Roach dubbed in the bass lines, which were under-recorded on most of the tunes, and exchanged Mingus soloing on "All the Things You Are".
    A 2002 reissue, Complete Jazz at Massey Hall, released on The Jazz Factory label, contains the full concert, without the overdubbing
