This record was originally released by Victor in 1927 as a special pressing by Jean Goldkette and his Orchestra. One side is a fox trot version with vocals, the other is an instrumental waltz.

Par R-2833 - 2 label variants of Margie added, #3a & 4. Type #4 is a late pressing, with prefix R followed by dot; apparently rare as only this A-side image has been found. Main type #3 exists with 2 A-side versions: #3a with 2 publ. logos as on #2 (rare), and #3b with 3 publ. logos, as subsequently on #4.

"Margie" capped off a busy recording week for Bix, during which he recorded multiple takes of twenty different pieces of music. This included George Gershwin's "Concerto in F Major" with Paul Whiteman's Orchestra, which would be released on three 12" discs (7171-M, 7317-M), in addition to seven other tracks with Whiteman and three with Frank Trumbauer's orchestra. A high point of the week was Bix's incredible 32-measure solo on "Sweet Sue—just you" (50103-D).

It's interesting that labels credit Lenny Hayton on piano and George Marsh on drums on both tracks. Most sources, including the IAJRC link provided below, credit Roy Bargy on piano and put Lenny Hayton on drums on "Margie". Bargy is also credited as pianist on "Somebody Stole My Gal" and Stan King is thought to be the drummer on this one. George Marsh isn't credited on either recording.

The copy here is a repress with an N tax code stamped into the area around the spindle hole. This tax code was in force between April 16, 1953 and October 27, 1955, see http://www.78rpm.net.nz/mechcopy/mech7.htm.
