Notes
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.
Laird: "The missing LAE masters [LAE35-LAE36, LAE39, LAE41-LAE42, LAE44-LAE45, LAE48-LAE49, LAE51-LAE53, LAE55-LAE56] are presumably alternate takes of the above selections, but there are no recording sheets for this session and no further details are known."
