That CD also includes Doin' The Jive, I Got Rhythm, Dippermouth Blues and a couple of other decent swingers, especially compared to later GM schmaltz. You can get it (used) on Amazon for real cheap at the moment....
Those are all from the period just before he hit it big. All from 1937 - 1938.

Community Swing is the best of the lot, imho.

If you ever hear his live version of "Hold Tight", you'll hear that he recycled his ending of "I Got Rhythm" and tagged it onto the end of "Hold Tight".
