|---|
| Label has "Harms Music ... ASCAP" printed by the matrix number. |
| Note that there are two pairings of Checker 872, both having "Happy, happy birthday, baby" on one side but with a different verso content: one with "Ol' man river" on it and another with "Yo yo walk" (which Ruppli calls "Mother Roux."). Note: audition confirms that this is a different take from "Ol man river" matrix number 8575/Checker 880. |
