 To make things clear, as a seeming disagreement of notes vs comments has been queried: we have two different dates here deliberately. The first date (March 14, 1927) is the recording date, the second one (25 Apr 1927) is the release date, which seems rather logical in timing.

Snippet from May 1927 Talking Machine World with release information meanwhile uploaded.

 I've deleted a note on this record from the original submitter, reading as follows:
thebluesneverdie wrote:
Under contract to Paramount Records, this was the only Okeh issue for BLJ, although he recorded several tracks for the company. Under obligation to return to Paramount, he subsequently recorded two more versions each of both the above Okeh sides.

Leaving aside that this is rather a comment that a factual note on the record, it is apparently not completely correct. Actually Jefferson re-recorded "Match Box Blues" (spelled like this) a few weeks later in April 1927 for Paramount (two takes preserved), but he had recorded "That Black Snake Moan" for Paramount some months before, in November 1926 (and it was one of his biggest hits there, followed by "Black Snake Dream Blues" in May 1927 and "That Black Snake Moan No. 2" in March 1929).
