Notes

Tracks A1, A2 recorded Dec. 1948
Tracks A3, A4, B1, B4 recorded Dec. 1948/early 1949
Tracks A5, B7 recorded 1951
Tracks A6, A7, B2, B3, B5, B6, recorded early/mid 1950

Almost all originals used for this record are in virtually mint condition, However the original pressings leave much to be desired. The is some surface noise. Our engineer has deliberately left this so to avoid loosing "top" and "volume".
