fixbutte 8th Jul 2019		@Mike Gann It's hard to say for sure, but from aural evidence I'd say the small band (only one trumpet, no trombone, only one alto sax and tenor sax) seems a good deal more likely. Besides, the lineup is apparently not identical on both sides. Most noticeably the piano is prominent on "When I Get Drunk" but not audible on "High Class Baby".
Mike Gann 5th Jul 2019		@fixbutte. My info on the band lineup came from Fancourt's Blues Records.
fixbutte 5th Jul 2019		Hi Mike Gann I'm wondering from where you got your big band lineup (with three trumpets, two tenor saxes, two trombones etc.) in the notes. The Mercury Labels: The 1945-1956 Era, edited by Michel Ruppli and Ed Novitsky, has a much smaller band, see also Be Bop Wino: Eddie Vinson (alto sax; vocals) with: John Hunt (trumpet); Lee Pope (tenor sax); Greely Walton (baritone sax); Earl Van Riper (piano); Leonard "Heavy" Swain (bass); George "Butch" Ballard (drums)
