New to me. A Japanese pressing of unreleased in the USA material.

The Original Yellow Jackets
Aubrey Yancey (tp,vcl) Earl Watkins (tp) Monroe Fingers (as,cl) Clifton Jones (as) William Pate (ts) Durant Allen (p) Jesse Saville (g) Wiley Fuller (b) Theodore Saville (d) Fats Smith (vcl)
Hot Springs, Arkansas, March 5, 1937

That's cool. How did an unreleased track end up released on a Japanese 78?

The other tracks from the one and only Original Yellow Jackets recording session can be heard in decent sound on Arkansas Shout. Love those territory bands!

Just a fluke, I guess, if what they claim is so. Maybe someone wrote down the wrong matrix number and requested that and they got the wrong tune? Over at Sony/Columbia, they were frequently pulling incorrect takes and releasing them, according to one of the reissue producers there whio was not even aware it had happened until I had a question about it.

Some of those territory bands - amazing stuff. Spirited Jazz!
