Comments

maybe a 2nd issue pressed in late 1950s.

A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4, B-4, B-5, B-6 are the same recordings as in MG-25034 “Sugar Blues” (10-inch).

Inside The Groove

Mister Wow-Wow trumpeter Clyde McCoy's nice swinging album: 8 out of 12 tunes are from original Vogue recordings.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)
