Comments and Reviews

xiphophilos 6th Dec 2024		Added repress labels with titles in a sans-serif font and band name in all-caps. These design features seem to have been introduced in Fall 1945. The band is now credited as "Sonny Greer And His Rextet" instead of as "Sonny Greer & His Rextet."
andlj SUBS 2nd May 2022		With respect to Bob1951: Added label images with - possibly - slightly better quality ... slightly better sharpness. Rec. New York, NY, 16 May 1944 for Apollo. Matrix A Side: R1012 Matrix B Side: R1013
