The issued take for each release is not confirmed. The Victor blue history card lists take 3 as the master take. The disc runoff for Victor 21730 indicates that it derives from take 2. It is possible that other issues also derive from take 2.
It is possible, but not confirmed that both takes 2 and 3 are released on Frog DGF 25.
Instrumentation is from Victor ledgers and is not confirmed; collective personnel from notes to a reissue compilation CD. Personnel listings here are not intended to imply that every instrument listed is played on every master recorded at the session.
