Note: The originals used in making this compilation were returned via diplomatic pouch and then vanished. Unfortunately, no identifying information (scans or photocopies of the labels, label or matrix numbers) was captured before the originals were returned. So tying these songs back to 78 originals relies on a lot of educated guesses, and what I have dubbed "forensic discography." Until we turn up originals of all the recordings, we won't know if there are errors in these song assignments or information about the underlying recordings.
