Notes

One of the dubious Charly/Summit compilation (possibly not official).
Nothing of interest here, all material seems to be sourced from otherwise widely available (and much better documented) releases.
Casual listeners probably can make a better choice by picking a Verve compilation, and completists already stopped reading this note.
While being hard to identify with certainty, some of the tracks here obviously come from the Decca vaults.
Anyhow, available from time to time at AMZ UK under ASIN B000024EWJ.

Issues

It's unknown if #12 is from 17 March 1936 (likely) or from 14 April 1960 (unlikely, Verve material). If you own this and the sleeve provides this information, you can contribute it here!
