NOTE: Acquisition of the full transcription of this broadcast assigns “When It’s Sleepy Time Down South” correctly. It is listed in BG - On the Record under the date of 3 June 1937 erroneously. The 3 June 1937 date was given to me by Bill Savory, the CBS engineer whose acetates were used to master the M-G-M and Columbia airchecks albums. Additional corrections will be noted in succeeding listings herein, as these full transcriptions reassign dates supplied to me by Savory.
A one-minute interval of blank tape precedes the next transfer- tightened up for CO.

NOTE: For the reason cited in the explanation following the broadcast of 29 June 1937, “A Handful Of Keys” is reassigned from the date entered in BG - On The Record to this broadcast, 6 July 1937. Note, too, that the Reynolds ET transferred here M-G-M aircheck albums contains this performance of “Bugle Call Rag,” transferred from the Columbia LP. That transfer omits the skip-and-repeat, which either was edited out, or originally was from another source ET.
