Notes
Laird notes that "although assigned master numbers in the New York 'E' series, the following group of recordings made from October 12 to October 14, 1925 all have recording sheets headed 'Recorded in Chicago.' As with the previous block, all these Chicago recordings are by West Coast artists!" [The master-number range represented in this block is E16653-E16709.]
Documentation of Brunswick Records derives primarily from Ross Laird's "Brunswick Records: A discography of recordings, 1916-1931" (Greenwood Press, 2001). See the ADP Brunswick Records Resources page for more information.
