(* Both these titles had been recorded earlier on the August 19 session. In the case of "Violets", apparently there were three takes. The first two on August 19, the third on September 26. Take 3 was used for the 78 RPM single, but take 1 has subsequently been issued on LP. An audio comparison revealed that the takes were almost indistinguishable except that take 1 is slightly longer. The version included here is believed to be take 3)
