Tom,
Some research on the web shows some data on those Stitt albums.
Probably more to be found there.

Regarding your comment on chronological discographies, I agree with
your interest in having the details of records. I just can say this
is a different approach:
I use to make a distinction between discography of records (what
you are looking for) and discography of recordings (the chronological
listing - the "logical" part is important to my eyes!). I am more
and more considering the detailed cataloguing of records as a part of
a complete discography including the chronological part . My next
Atlantic label project is made that way.
Best wishes
Michel
