Comments and Reviews


xiphophilos 1st May 2018		I added several listings in Billboard to the Notes, and based on that, I think the record may have come out as early as August 1950. That seems to fit BB's practice; by the time they listed a record as about to come out, it often had already appeared. I've changed the date accordingly from 1949 to Aug. 1950. A & B sides:



RichardSibello SUBS ● 1st May 2018		What do you think, moderators? Do you think the date should be changed?



fixbutte 30th Apr 2018		You're right and Unca Marvy (who says "12/49") is apparently wrong here. This one came out between National 9111 (4/50) and 9131 (11/50). National 9100 by (Big) Joe Turner is another one that was released out of numerical order (c. October 1950).



RichardSibello SUBS ● 30th Apr 2018		Oddly enough, though the catalog number indicates a December, 1949 release, this was listed in Billboard's "Advance Record Releases" in their August 26, 1950 issue, so the actual issue date was probably September of 1950.
