On American Music LP 643 is Knocky Parker (piano) dubbed in as background music for master 1. "Sugar Foot Stomp" (recording date 440804, master 606) is dubbed in as background for master 3. Master 4 is dubbed in with excerpts from "When The Saints" (recording date 450518, master 894), "Nearer My God To Thee" (recording date 450518, master 902) and "Just A Little While To Stay Here" (recording date 450518, master 900).

Notes    
The numbers in brackets are the original masters numbers assigned during the recording. The master numbers 9 to 16 where re-assigned masters numbers after the recording.
Bolden Medley was recorded as "Make Me A Pallet On The Floor", master 14 (3c).
5a en 5b were cut onto the same master.
Franklin Street Blues (called "Blues In C" in Bill Russel's notes) as issued on AMCD-16 was edited by Barry Martyn from two different takes (4 & 5), none of which Bill Russell thought good enough to issue. After hearing the edited version Bill gave his OK.
