Comments and Reviews


fixbutte 6th Oct 2017		Although we can't be sure of the release month for such reissues, we can assume that the record was released in the first year of existence of the new label. So "1945" would be the date in this case, just like we decided for some other Hit reissues on Majestic.



xiphophilos 5th Oct 2017		I removed the Jan. 1945 release date from this record because that is the date at which the record was originally released on the Hit Record label. This Majestic version, using the same catalog number, is a reissue. When Hit Record owner Eli Oberstein was kicked out of the American Federation of Musicians, he closed the Hit label and sold the matrices to Majestic in 1945. This reissue may even have appeared still in 1945, but probably not as early as January. The switch from Hit to Majestic may have happened at some point in May 1945. Under "Most-Played Juke Box Records," Billboard, May 26, 1945, p. 25, lists some of Louis Prima's titles already on the Majestic label, and others still as Hit Records.

fixbutte 22nd Dec 2014		Vocals added to the notes as on the record labels, "F.T." (standing for foxtrot) deleted from the A-side title, release year corrected and release month added.



slholzer 21st Dec 2014		Vocals on Side A are by Louis Prima and Lilyann Carol. I believe Side B's vocal is by Louis Prima alone.
