Note #1: the last 9 tracks listed (from All of Me) complete the 330 MT tracks that form this work.

Those nine were originally considered alternate takes (AT) by the record industry, when the sessions originally took place. Because of that, these tracks were not issued immediately, but instead were included in other albums issued later. However, I decided to consider them original recordings (MT) due to some special characteristics that make them unique.  The reasin being they consist in takes where the band is partially or totally different, or yet the recording time is substantially different. You may see the individual comments in the section "STUDIO SONGS". 

Note #2: comments on the LPs

Note #3: there were no issues in the years 1934, 1943 and 1948.
