/ Albert Ammons

Label Type :	black/silver Mercury 78rpm type B w/ cartoon logo
Matrix Number :	SIDE-A	929-1

Comments

Various takes of 929 and 930 are known to exist. According to the Ruppli's book, two takes of 929 (929-2 and 929-3) and 930 (930-1 and 930-2) are released in various pressings. This copy has “929-1” and “930-1” matrix on the dead wax, but I don't know if it indicates the take numbers or not.
