Note: Champion as Smoke Jackson and His Red Onions; Supertone as Eddie Walker and His Band. The takes taken from the Supertone issue are the ones most commonly encountered; these have been assigned the take shown in the ledgers as “1st-Use”. In the case of West End Blues, this conclusion is consistent with the MCA-1371 LP where -A is shown. We have assumed that the Meritt LP issue of West End is “3rd”, and that the alternate of It's Tight Like That is “2nd”.

Note: Vocalion 15388 is credited to The Tennessee Tooters, which is where Rust lists these two sides. According to Rust, these sides were recorded on June 29, 1926. The matrix numbers are taken from the original record; note that track 24's matrix number is at odds with Rust's listing which is given as E-3316, probably due to the different matrix series used for Brunswick and Vocalion.
