| Notes |
|---|
| Victor ledgers and the Victor blue history card have not been found for this selection. It is probable, but not confirmed that V-6066 derives from BLR5785. |
| The performer attribution in the 1931 Victor numerical catalog entry for V-6066 lists "Grosses Salonorchester." It is possible, but not confirmed that the performing group is Ferdy Kauffman Orchestra--which is sometimes credited as "Grosses Salonorchester" or "Salon Orchestra." The Kauffman Orchestra, vocal soloist Gerhard Pechner, take date, and take place are correct for BLR5744, per Alan Kelly files, but are not confirmed for Victor issue V-6066. |
