fixbutte 27th Jan 2015		Here's something from Mosaic Records, confirming the Sep 25, 1941 date guess for "The Earl": (BB) Jimmy Maxwell, Billy Butterfield, Al Davis, Cootie Williams (tp), Lou McGarity, Cutty Cutshall (tb), Benny Goodman (cl), Clint Neagley, Skip Martin (as), Vido Musso, George Berg (ts), Chuck Gentry (bari), Mel Powell (p), Tom Morgan (g), Marty Blitz (b), Jo Jones (d).

fixbutte 27th Jan 2015		There are some Benny Goodman discographies on books.google of which I can only see small excerpts but they seem to confirm the Oct 21, 1941 date for the re-recording of "Let's Do It", so the Oct 24, 1941 date in the notes, taken from 78discography.com is probably a mistake and has to be corrected anyway.



fixbutte 27th Jan 2015		Interestingly, according to the extensive and worth reading Peggy Lee Bio-Discography And Videography and in contrast to the notes above, OKeh 6474 was pressed with two different takes of "Let's Do It", actually from two different recording dates with different personnel. Apparently only take 4 (2:16) was made on the above mentioned Oct 21, 1941 session whereas the shorter take 2 (2:01) was recorded about one month earlier, on Sep 25, 1941: A peculiarity of Okeh #6474 is that it was pressed with two different takes of "Let's Do It." One pressing contains take #2, another take #4. The pressing which features take #2 was released first, then withdrawn and replaced with take #4 pressings. The presumed motivation for that withdrawal was the lack of an audible drummer in take #2. Goodman and/or Columbia might have objected to the company's issuing of the drumless take. (Notice also that, although Columbia's cataloguing system identifies these two performances of "Let's Do It" as takes from the same matrix, 31367, the so-called takes were actually recorded at different dates, rather than during the same session.) Noteworthy from the same source is that this was Benny Goodman's first record on Columbia's subsidiary, OKeh, and that "Let's Do It" was Peggy Lee's first big hit, "a must in her repertoire for years", but probably enjoyed very little radio airplay, due to the suggestive bent of the lyrics. Based on the matrix numbers alone, it can be assumed that "The Earl" was also recorded on Sep 25, 1941, not on Oct 21 (much higher numbers were allotted to Columbia / OKeh recordings at the end of October).
