As may be seen from the illustrated labels, this particular disc was printed at least twice, using two different label designs. The earlier version would be the B-side label, which fills in the top portion of the shield with gold, leaving a black logo showing through. The A-side version outlines the top portion in gold and switches to a gold logo against a backdrop of black.

Lyric 4203 is listed in the February 1920 edition of Talking Machine World [p. 228] as "Don't You Remember Those School Days" b/w "My Baby's Arms" by Yerke's Jazzarimba Orchestra.

Lyric 4203 - Rust's ADBD also seems to be wrong for Lyric 4202 under Yerkes. Images of Lyric 4202 show 2 different titles by Joseph Samuels: Left All Alone Again Blues (Kern) / Swanee (Gershwin). But I have another image of Lyric 4202-B, that reads: YERKE'S JAZZARIMBA ORCHESTRA: Swanee (Hubbell). I think it is the same recording, based on the position of the catnr in the runout.

Interesting to note that the American Dance Band Discography does not list this issue or these tracks under Joseph Samuels' name, in spite of our having photographic evidence of at least one of them in front of us.

To further mystify us, Rust lists Lyric 4203 on p. 1983 of the ADBD under Harry Yerkes' name with two completely different titles, to-wit: Everybody's Crazy Over Dixie/Goodnight Dearie.

For what it is worth, it would appear that Rust's information on the Lyric label was at best incomplete and in some respects innaccurate when he went to press on the ADBD. At least four other Lyric discs are listed in the ADBD with completely different information than has turned up on other sources in a fairly reliable form.
