Notes    
Takes showns without master numbers were not processed to the stamper stage On Dawn Club and RCA PM42048 take one of Sister Kate appears twice although noted as take one and take three on the sleeves Victor 40-0126 / 27 / 28 / 29 issued in album HJ7 “New Orleans Jazz – Bunk Johnson and his New Orleans Band” with five pages of notes and photos of Bunk and ther members of the band.
Although take 887-1 and 888-1 are shown on the HMV78’s,which are the only records showing the take numbers,it is known that the last takes were issued The RCA LEJ7 is Album 7 out of a set of 12 10 inch LP’s which were produced for sale in supermarkets and solo separately. Each LP was also packaged in double EP form with a ‘WEJ’ prefix. The Last track of side B of RCA (F) 130268 is actually a repeat of “Snag It’ altough identified on the label as “Franklin Street Blues’.
The Recording date on RCA EPA9696 is incorrectly given as 1945-11-21, and a mix-up is made on the record label and sleeve: “Franklin Street Blues” is called “One Sweet Letter From You” and “Sister Kate “ is called “Franklin Street Blues”.
