INTRODUCTION
- all known recordings for commercial record and transcription companies (including unissued titles and
alternate takes) with the original 78" releases. Not mentioned are other 78" & Ep issues and for lack of
place often not single reissues on Lp samplers whereas I tried to listen all known Lp, CD & video issues.
But I fear I am not up to date in the complete US CD/video-field. I let out CD-issues of samplers or when
they do not bring the complete sessions
-
- all known recordings for non-commercial record and transcription companies as AFRS, Music Branch
of Special Services Division (V-Disc) including unissued titles and alternate takes. Especially in the 40's

weeks and occasionally even years later (a special list is availahle).

TV stuff ,a special list is available.

rical interest).
