pandah 5th Jan 2023		Variant DTP side A label image added.



soultwinz SUBS 26th Aug 2022		Was a really big seller in the United Kingdom on reissue in late 1948/early 1949.. not sure what brought on this belated popularity of this 1935 recording



Redpunk 23rd Sep 2020		Added N label scans with matrix no.s under Music Publisher logos etc.



xiphophilos 28th Jan 2017		A side:



Redpunk 20th Jul 2016		Added label scans with gap in Cat. No.



xiphophilos 20th Aug 2015		B Side: Lyrics and background on the song "Shortnin' Bread" and Fats Waller's recording of it: http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2012/07/fats-waller-shortnin-bread-sound-file.html



mikey405 6th May 2014		Side B label variation added.



xiphophilos 11th Feb 2014		Added A side label variant with tax code DT (April 1948 - Dec. 1950) stamped into the run-off. B side looks just like carryonsidney's version, except that the stamped-in DT is missing.
