Comments and Reviews


xiphophilos 7th Oct 2018		M. Ruppli in his Decca Label Discography, vol. 3, page 343 has a gap between the New York matrix numbers 76817 and 76822 and writes, "76818/21: see Nashville sessions in vol. 5 – masters NA 2208/11 (Ernest Tubb – Sept. 9, 1950)." So Decca originally gave these recordings NA-prefix matrix numbers because they were made in Nashville but then also assigned the numbers 76818 - 76821 to them, and the latter are the ones that appear on the labels.



Bob1951 6th Oct 2018		A side on 45rpm B side



Bob1951 6th Oct 2018		DAHR lists the matrix #'s as NA 2208 (A side) and NA 2209 (B side). The ODP lists NA 2208 (A side) and NA 2209 (B side) as ctrl (control?) numbers. I think that DAHR got the matrix #'s wrong. An expert's opinion would be helpful here.
