Notes    
The V-Disc label was an U.S. Government Project to provide the Armed Forces overseas with records music and was never on sale at any records stores. The records were made without payment to the musicians. After the War thousands of copies were brought home. Due to union pressure many of them were destroyed by customs officers on re-entry, but many got through and were sold by second-hand stores.
