Notes
Victor ledgers assign the prefix "CC" to take 5; the double prefix indicates use of a finer-threaded lathe, thus more grooves per inch and a longer-playing record.
Original EDVR data show takes 1-4 as B-4939 and the final recording as C-4939 take 1. Information here conforms to Victor ledgers.
