fixbutte 4th May 2021		Actually released on December 10, 1919, as seen on Columbia's "Mid-Month List", see uploaded newspaper clipping.
Bob1951 10th Sep 2018		A side B side
Bob1951 10th Sep 2018		Judging from the label printing date code of JX (Oct. 1919), this issue may have been released earlier than 1920 as indicated in DAHR. Even perhaps as early as late Oct.1919.
