 A polite request that the labels be moved up front. [Gladly! Mod.]

 Uploaded label images from my copy. I believe if this issue was released on 22 August 1930 in the USA, that it was released on the same day in Canada or not too far behind.

 Moved the following comment of thebluesneverdie from the Notes to here:
The B-side=One of JD's best!!.


As I haven't seen any early Canadian Victor 78s, I am not sure here but I guess that the complete cat# of the Canadian issue is V-40286, like on the US issue V-40286. I have also corrected this.

There are several videos of the B-side on YouTube at the moment, but I haven't found anything of the striking lyrics on the web that goes beyond the chorus, "she's a hum dum dinger from Dingersville, ooh watch her strut her stuff". As I'm not a native English speaker, I'm excluded from producing a transcription. Will you possibly take over, thebluesneverdie?

Meanwhile, here's something from the book Just Remember This by Colin Bratkovich:

This blues ditty about a gal who could strut her stuff is a fine tale. Why, even the local preacher can't control himself! As a bonus, besides the fact that there's no yodeling, a faster-paced guitar is strummed to end this crude rendering of some real rural slang.

And here's another YouTube video of it, this time with many nice ladies from the 1920s:
