Joséphine Baker 1927–1939

~ Release by Joséphine Baker (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

Exactly as on covers but below songs could be corrected if confirmed they are not matching initial releases (in other words errors made only on this compilation):
1.3 "Love Sick" Seems split on original Shellac
1.4 "Breezin’" and not "Brezzing"
1.6 "Alabamy" and not "Albany"
1.11 To confirm not "Hawaii"
2.7 To confirm Mayarí or Mayari

Tracks 2.7 and 2.8 have 1936-12-31 as Recording dates, which is probably wrong. All other dated sources give 1936-11-27. Corrected.
