| The 1933 Victor catalog states that this selection is paired with “Tiger rag” (BVE-72690) on Vi 24059. EDVR legacy data reports that inclusion of this master in Vi 24059 was “withdrawn early” and replaced with “Hot biscuits” (BVE-72688). Victor blue history cards and some discs confirm the later pairing. |
