D.E.T.S. - Duke Ellington Treasury Shows

The original vinyl pressings were produced by Phontastic label for distribution there. The vinyl series was produced between 1981 and 1986.

The CD series were also produced by Jack Towers. These were produced between 2000 and 2018 and contain additional broadcasts Duke Ellington made for the Treasury Department beyond the "Saturday Date With the Duke" broadcasts that make up the bulk of the vinyl issues. These include several broadcast transcriptions made from various venues, such as the New Zanzibar, the Hurricane Restaurant and the El Patio Ballroom, many of which are not available elsewhere.
