What year is this record from? I know that Ellington recorded for dozens of labels over his career. Would I be right in judging by the label type, that this record be from the 30's?

It was recorded 14 August, 1947 in Hollywood. First released in the U.S. in 1948 on Columbia 38234; the flip side was "On a Turquoise Cloud". For the record above, the flip side is "Creole Love Call", from a September 1949 session.

The record shown and played here is a release from Denmark; many countries outside the U.S. used older label styles. They also tended to have better pressings, which is why this one sounds like it could've been recorded in the mid-1950's (to my ears).
