Notes
Victor ledgers: "Electrically transferred from lacquers received from Mr. T. J. Valentine" at Victor's New York City Studio 6 on 7/15/1948. It is not known whether take 1 or 1A is the issued dub take. No other information about the original recording session is known.
Disc labels from the album P-255 indicate that the pairings of the discs were made for a drop automatic machine. Circled numbers at the top of most of the observed Victor blue history cards suggest that a manual pairing was either planned or released. No BHC was found for this master, but based on other masters in the album, this catalog number for the manual pairing of this matrix ID would be 20-3157-B.
