The takes
8 of these 9 takes stayed in the vault at the time: alternates and tunes that weren't issued. Switch to hear only the ones that came out on the records.
What the numbers mean
Savoy numbered its masters by the tune, and kept the takes: the figure after the dash is which take of that master it is.
