Previously Unreleased Recordings is an album by saxophonist Sonny Stitt featuring compositions associated with Duke Ellington which was originally recorded in 1960 and released on the Verve label in 1973. Norman Granz probably didn't want it released during Johnny Hodges's lifetime and even here it is not billed as a Ellington tribute. On CD it can be found on Import as part of Rearin' Back / Tribute To Duke Ellington

Scott Yanow of Allmusic stated, "the results are typically swinging bop if not overly memorable. Stitt fans will want this one anyway".
