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 discs were paired for a drop automatic machine. Circled numbers at the top of the observed Victor blue history cards suggest that a manual pairing was either planned or released.
