Notes
Ledgers for E4RB-0057 list only one dub take; the BHC for issue 10-4213 lists both takes 1 and 1A, and does not indicate which is the issued dub take.
The original BHC for issue 12-1192 lists take 1 as master and 1A as held; ledgers for matrix E4RW-0057 state that dubs derive from 1A.
Differences between the ledgers and the Victor blue history cards create unclarity about the number of dub takes and the original take from which dub issues derive.
Victor ledgers: "A & R Rep: Mr. W. Heebner"; "Union musicians used": "Contractor: "Ben Barrett."
