7" EPSavoy XP-8005
10" LPSavoy MG-9011

★ A single title, Confirmation, was issued as Riff Warmer (Chas. Parker) on 2 Savoy 45rpm issues: Savoy 45-308-B (reverse Barbados;
both sides as by CHARLIE PARKER'S ALL STARS) and Savoy XP-8005 (EP), and also on 10" Savoy MG-9011.
The 45rpm single wrongly shows the personnel of the 26 Nov 1945 session, using spellings as on some Savoy 78s: Chas. Parker,
Dizzy Gillespie-Piano, Miles Davis, Curley Russell & Max Roache.
Presumably it was assumed or suggested that Riff Warmer came from the same session as Warming Up A Riff(on Savoy 45-302-B);
it even occurs on the same Savoy 10" LP as the studio recording of Constellation.
