GumboStu 12th May 2021 | | 78 RPMJimmie Rodgers - Blue Yodel No. 3 / Never No Mo' Blues | So the date for the Regal Zonophone T issues would be 1932 when the companies merged, continuing to press the Zonophone catalogue. An MR prefix denotes an initial issue (or re-issue with a new catalogue number) after the merger.
Thanks, I often wondered about this, and finally looked it up.

various dates have been suggested for this session which was first issued as by Clarence Williams and his Orchestra on Q.R.S. - Clarence was the recording director for QRS and Oliver played on many of his 1928/9 sessions. See for example Storyville 22, page 25-27, where Tom Lord suggests Aug, 1928.

GumboStu 13th May 2016 | | 78 RPMJelly-Roll Morton's Red Hot Peppers - Jungle Blues / Wild Man Blues | It's fascinating how the same personnel are Louis Armstrong's Hot Five, King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band, Johnny Dodds' Hot Six and Morton's Hot Peppers. I'd love a recommendation for a book which clarifies how the different bands morphed in and out of each other around this time if anyone knows a good read.

GumboStu 13th May 2016 | | 78 RPMJelly-Roll Morton's Red Hot Peppers - Jungle Blues / Wild Man Blues | I'm assuming this is the re-issue of the Bluebird since that was the only release with these two tracks back to back. That release had Wild Man Blues as the A side, but I've followed the 'earlier matrix' convention here.
So Wild Man Blues is take 1 and a second take was released on Merritt #1
Jungle Blues is take 2 and a take 3 was issued on Victor 21345-A
according to doctorjazz.co.uk.
