Notes
Laird notes that the original, purple-label pressings of the 55000 series showed the artist credits for this title as Raymond Kinney and Kamakua Glee club, while later, black-label pressings show the artist credits as Johnny Noble's Hawaiians, sometimes but not always with the individual artist credits from the earlier labels.
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.
