Tracks 10 to 13 were a private recording at Nola's at Broadway on January 9, 1945 according to online discography at plosin.com.
Track 14 was a WOR-AM radio broadcast from the Savoy Ballroom according to plosin.com.

The composers for tracks 1, 3 to 5, 8, 9 are listed incorrectly on this CD. The correct writers and arrangers are now listed next to each song. Sources are: What's The Matter Now? / I Want Ev'ry Bit Of It, What's The Matter Now / That's The Blues, I Want Every Bit Of It / 4-F Blues, Seventh Avenue / Sorta Kinda, Dream Of You / Ooh! Ooh! My! My! Oh! Oh! 78 RPMs.

The CD says track 1 was written by R. Collins but that credit is taken from a Lightnin' Hopkins CD (Mojo Hand: The Anthology) where a (another?) song entitled What's the Matter Now? is credited as by Thomas Robert Collins.
The CD incorrectly lists D. Gillespie as composer for track 3, C. Hart for tracks 4, 5, 8, 9. Perhaps they were the arrangers.

Total time: 60:49
