Version notes

Expanded reissue of CC-135 with eight tracks, on purple Capitol banded "Long Playing Microgroove" labels, issued in jacket with unframed front cover art.

Characteristics of the April 1950 release:
The front jacket artwork is full, like the 78 album, not picture framed, which did not start on popular releases until February 1951.
The front jacket has "Hollywood" text beneath the "Capitol Records" logo used by the company March 1950 to August 1951.
The vinyl production date is stamped in the runouts, in this case 450.

Pressed by Capitol Records Pressing Plant, Scranton, identified by the stamped image of the Capitol dome logo described as an "Anvil / Lathe" symbol in runouts.

Catalog number H-156 on labels.
Catalog number H156 on back cover.
