fixbutte 6th Jan 2023		As the recently uploaded "sunburst" labels show, the original single record didn't have the inscriptions "Album No. 138 (12 Sides-3)" and "Album No. 138 (12 Sides-4)" respectively. The original B-side title was "Clap Hands! Here Comes Charlie", so not only an exclamation mark was added to the end of the album version, but also the name spelling was changed to "Charley" there (and the song composers were credited by their full names). In contrast to the original single labels, both sides of the album version show the orchestra lineup. Additionally, as we now have the original label images, there is no need to use the album release date (which obviously was after Chick Webb's premature death) for this entry. In fact, the original single was released shortly after the recording of both sides, in April 1937.



xiphophilos 22nd May 2016		This record is part of the "Chick Webb Memorial Album", Decca album 138, which came out not in 1937, but after Chick's death, in 1940. So I've changed the date above.

brownoldies63 21st May 2016		Found this at my favorite record store in the area, which is where I've been getting most of my records when not finding them at thrift shops or antique shops. This was the only Chick Webb record I could find.
