| Notes |
|---|
| Victor ledgers: "Union musicians used." |
| Ledgers list credit "John Romano" with guitar and contractor roles. This is likely an error intended to read Tony Romano, seeing as Johnny Bradford, the other half of the Bradford & Romano duo, does not appear to have any credits to his name as a guitarist. |
| It is not known whether take 1 or 1A is the issued take. |
