Notes    
- Takes showns without master numbers were not processed to the stamper stage.
- Master numbers 996 -1 , 997-1 and 999-1 were probably also processed but this is not known for sure.
- 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 other members of the band.
- Although take 997-1 and 998-1 are shown on the HMV78’s,which are the only records showing the take numbers,it is known that the last takes were issued. Same on Document DOCD-1001.
- The RCA LEJ6 is Album 6 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’.
- RCA ANLI-1-1431 has in Western Germany the order number 26.21745AF.
-The RCA FXM372423T is a #LP boxed set with notes.
- 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”.
