It is one disc in a relatively short series, as opposed to an album. In response to my enquiry, Julian Vein of the 78-list wrote: "It was issued in January 1950, according to Takao Yamada's "American Popular Music on Japanese 78 rpm Record 1927 to 1958". His work doesn't indicate dubs. The series ran from S-10001 to S-10012, though the release dates aren't in sequence, being issued between October 1949 and January 1950." The reverse is 'Potato Head Blues' by Louis Amstrong's Hot Seven. Both sides are rather fuzzy dubbings, and the material into which this disc is pressed is quite noisy, so for 78 enthusiasts, the item is more in the way of a curio.

The record (take 2) was not issued as a 78. It was first issued on 33 1/3 in Victor LPM 2323 "The Bix Beiderbecke Legend.". Joe won this record on an Nauck's auction in the early 1990s. Joe personally went to Texas to pick up the record he had won. According to the notes on the sleeve of the record, this the only 78 in existence. According to the notes written on the sleeve by the auctioneer, the record was discovered by Charles Waring [misspelled, should be Wareing], Charles Edward Smith and Brad McCuen . <b>Be patient when downloading the image as the file is rather large. </b> <br> The RCA Victor LP "The Bix Beiderbecke Legend" comes with extensive liners written by Charles Smith. I copy here the portions relevant to the recording of "I Didn't Know." This was written in 1961. <p>"...information from pianist Paul Mertz confirmed that at the time he left the Wolverines in 1924, Bix had gone on to Detroit to record with Goldkette. The fantastic possibility of the existence of an early cornet chorus by Bix, one never heard before, spurred an immediate search. In October 1960, fact was brought into focus when that rarest of all collector's items in jazz, an unplayed, unlisted master- a Goldkette performance of "I Didn't Know"- was found in the Camden vault." </p> <p>"... Bix was with with the Jean Goldkette Orchestra for a few happy days -then the roof fell in. The cause of the calamity was a recording session held at the Detroit Athletic Club on November 24, 1924 and a spot by Bix on "I Didn't Know." In the midst of his solos -in tone and style, a beautiful example of his early work- there was a split second in which he faltered, making this the most poignant Bix chorus of them all. Eddie King, recroding supervisor for Victor, shook his head, assuring that that particular master <b><i>would not</i></b> be pressed for release. (And in fact it wasn't -no one heard it until a test pressing was made in 1960!) As Paul Mertz put it (in a letter to the writer), 'He' (referring to Eddie King) 'had no sympathy for that kind of jazz.' King indicated that one of the more 'legitimate' men should take the solo spot on the next master. 'All of us in the band were crestfallen,' wrote Paul, '-we thought Bix was just the greatest. Bix was stunned and heartbroken.'" </p> <p>"The situation with regard to the Goldkette 'I Didnt Know', on which a master in poor condition was turned over to Engineer Ed Begley (to do with what he could) left little room for choice. This performance deserved to be heard -or the respect given recorded jazz is meaningless." </p> <p>"Brad McCuen, RCA Victor A&R Director, reconstructed the scene as it probably looked at the end of that session on a Monday in November, 1924, at the Detroit Athletic Club: </p> <p> Master B-31206-1 Destroyed <br> Master B-31206-2 Held for mastering <br> Master B-31206-3 Destroyed <br> Master B-31206-4 Hold conditional <br> Master B-31206-5 Hold 30 days </p> <p>By an irony of circumstance -no doubt- the let-down felt by the musicans affected their playing- the only performance really suitable for mastering (metal mould, stampers) was the one on which Bix lost his job! And this one was to suffer some not-completely-redeemable damage before 1960, when interest was again drawn to it, thanks to the pertinacity of Charles H. Wareing through the book on Bix of which he was co-author was already in print!0 and to the friendly help of Paul Mertz, whose impressions and memory for detail -like those of Pee-Wee Russell in other aspects of the Goldkette story-have conributed to making this album a fresh presentation of Bix." </p> <p>"'I Didn't Know' waited thirty-six years before its re-discovery. Its inclusion here marks the first time a collector's item of such rarity has been a feature of a long-play set." <br> "It need hardly be stressed that this is possibly the only time -or at least one of the few times- when RCA Victor has permitted the use of an ectched (defective) master. Since the offensuive click is toward the outer edge, thought was given to omitting the first ensemble chorus. Two considerations ruled this out. One was the interest, to the jazz listener of the 1960s, in hearing the tune in its orchestral setting of 1924 anad thus appreciating the impact the improvised solo must have had on the musicians working with Bix that day. The second was that in the chorus preceding Bix's the trombone judging more from tone than from style, apears to be that of Tommy Dorsey." </p> <p>Quite a story!!! Joe's test pressing may be in fact the only 78 of "I Didn't Know" in existence. <br> Addition/Correction, 3/31/03.

The information I used to assert that HMVIn N4475 was released contemporaneously with Victor 21438 was taken from Sudhalter and Evans' discography in "Bix: Man and Legend." Apparently, Sudhalter and Evans got it wrong. According to Brian Rust's "Jazz Records, 1897-1942", take 1 was released as Vic 21438, HMV B-5522, and other labels. Take 3 was released as Vic 25369, HMV B-8913, JK-2809 and HMVin N-4475. According to Evans and Evans "Bix: The Leon Bix Beiderbecke Story", take 1 was released as Vic 21438 on 7/6/28. Take 3 was released as Vic 25369 on 7/30/36 and was included in the Victor "Bix Beiderbecke Memorial Album" of 1936.

Note that Bix' last name is misspelled.</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table border="1" cols="1" width="100%"> <tbody> <tr> <td><b><a href="labelsorry.jpg">Sorry, Bix Beiderbecke and His Gang, OKeh 41001, recorded October 25, 1927.</a> A.H.</b></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table border="1" cols="1" width="100%"> <tbody> <tr> <td><b><a href="sorry.jpg">Sorry, Bix Beiderbecke and His Gang, German Odeon O-28181a, recorded October 25, 1927. </a> E.B.</b> <br> Sudhalter and Evans do not provide information about pressings for this recording.</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table border="1" cols="1" width="100%"> <tbody> <tr> <td><b><a href="sorryjm.jpg">Sorry, Bix Beiderbecke and His Gang, Vocalion 3149, recorded October 25, 1927.</a> J.M.</b></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table border="1" cols="1" width="100%"> <tbody> <tr> <td><b><a href="bixrec265brunsw.jpg">Strut Miss Lizzie, Irving Mills and His Hotsy Totsy Gang, Brunswick 4983, recorded 06/06/29</a> H.E.</b></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table border="1" cols="1" width="100%"> <tbody> <tr> <td><b><a href="sweetsuehans.jpg">Sweet Sue-Just You, Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra, Instrumental Vocal Refrain, Columbia 50103-D, recorded 09/18/28</a> J.G.</b> <br> This is one of the 12-inch Columbia "Potato Head" records.

I t was released commercially for the first time by English Brunswick in 1936. The test pressing used belonged to Edwin "Squirrel" Ashcraft. It was cracked in the studio but was used anyway because of the extreme rarity of the record.

However, the sleeve must be from the 1940's. In addition to jazz, I am a collector of French popular songs and Argentinina tangos. My favorite Argentinian Tango orchestra is that of Miguel Calo who started recording for Argentina Odeon in the early 1940s. Note the name Miguel Calo on the right-hand side of the label among "Argentinians Artists who record exclusively on Odeon records".

The arrangement is by Bill Challis. His signature can be seen on the white tape just below Nipper. This is Bix's first recording with the Paul Whiteman orchestra and was a 12-inch record. According to Evans and Evans, Bix: The Leon Bix Beiderbecke Story, " The up-tempo passages, sparked by Bix's brilliant cornet lead, contrast dramatically with the forlorn plaints of the vocalist." Two interesting points must be made about the recording of Wahsboard Blues. First, Bill Challis used a small group that did not include Henry Busse. Henry Busse got very angry because, according to his contract, he was supposed to be playing in every Whiteman recording. On the other hand, Bill Challis' contract stipulated that he was free to make arrangements as he pleased. Whiteman sided with Challis. This resulted in a sense of bitterness on the part of Busse, who, a few months later, quit the Whiteman organization. The second interesting and somewhat puzzling point has to do with the presence of Bing Crosby at the recording session. If Hoagy was taking the vocal, why was Bing present? As Hoagy explains, "Bing Crosby kept hanging around listening to me rehearse the number and I wondered why? Paul later explained that he wanted Bing to be my substitute in case I broke down on the vocal job."</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table border="1" cols="1" width="100%"> <tbody> <tr> <td><b><a href="waydownyonder2.jpg">Way Down Yonder In New Orleans, Frankie Trumbauer's Orchestra Featuring Bix Beiderbecke And Arthur Schutt,, Odeon-Swing-Music-Series A 2354, recorded May 13, 1927</a></b> <b>E.B.</b></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table border="1" cols="1" width="100%"> <tbody> <tr> <td><b><a href="whereisthesongsofsongsforme.jpg">Where Is the Song of Songs For Me, Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra, Vocal Refrain, Columbia 1630-D, Recorded October 6, 1928</a> A.H. </b>This is take 8, the only issued take out of 8.
