Recorded April 25, 1931.. according to the Rust guide ?

Comment by cyeaman SUBS:

Fletcher Henderson's Orchestra, as "The Dixie Stompers", were the first to record "Ain't She Sweet". Their instrumental version pre-dates the first vocal version, recorded by Ted Wallace, by just one day. No fewer than thirteen versions of this tune were recorded in 1927 alone.

First pressings of this record bore the B side title "Grand Terrace Swing". This was retitled "Big Chief De Sota" on repressings.

De 157 - Added edition #1 (tiny legend; no mx) and #2 (same, with mx) (A-side only) and #4 (1st Decca block label). - Note the different way the credit is shown on early and later printings.

First pressings of this record should have no matrices to the left of the spindle hole, and text beneath "Decca" and along bottom ridge is very small. Images # 2733001 & 2733002 show a ca. 1936 repressing, on which this text is larger and matrices are printed on labels. Slightly later issues included the subtitle "The Lindy Glide" on the B-side.

Co 2825-D - I do not think the later pressing is a dub. The mx in the runout looks identical to the one of the blue wax pressing. But the encircled W is different, I think (maybe you can compare the W of the later pressing with a W on another blue wax record).
It appears, however, that the runout groove has been recut. I see a single runout groove on the blue wax "Talk", with the mx above it and the take-stamper info beneath it, both at a small distance from the groove. The Full Range pressing has a double runout groove (do we call this oval or excentric?). Here the mx remains in its orig. position, but the additional groove would cut throught the take-stamper info and thus this was replaced. I guess the stamper was recut for record changers; can this be confirmed?

Comment by W.B.lbl ●:

Looks like on the original 1933 pressing the center label diameter was ~2.9375", but by the 1938 re-pressing {Images #3437482, 3437483, 3437647 & 3437830} it was ~3"? (Usually, in its original state, about 1/64" more, i.e. 2.953125" and 3.015625", but accounting for the roughly 0.6% - 0.7% shrinkage when pressed onto the shellac.)

Added the A-side repressing showing stamper details. Han, I can confirm that my B side is identical to the one you added, with the eccentrically placed stamper without the "A". Do you suppose this 1938-39 issue is a dubbing rather than a repressing?

Co 2825-D - orig. blue wax labels added; both on A-1 pressings (probably all blue wax pressings are from A-1 stampers). Surprisingly the stamper details on the repressing are different (as cyeaman probably can confirm): stamper is "1", without A, in a different position on the label. And also the take is placed differently: on orig. pressings near the music grooves, on the later pressing near the label. I have added B #2 to show this stamper number, and maybe an image can be added with the A-side repressing stamper details (and - if necessary - all such details can be "hidden" subsequently).

This record was originally issued on Royal Blue shellac. My images show a repressing from ca. 1938-39.

Added alternate B-side image, with subtitle "The Lindy Glide".
