Other than the ones taken from Victors and Bluebirds (Harlem Fuss & Minor Drag 
[unissued], It's a Sin to Tell a Lie, Your Feet's Too Big, Oh Frenchy, All That 
Meat & No Potatoes), and two tracks from Stormy Weather (That Ain't Right, 
Ain't Misbehavin'), it's Fats and the piano and the organ and copious amounts 
of gin on September 16, 1943. I presume they include the tracks that were 
unissued on V-Disc, since most of them have circulated for decades. Sears 
numbers 23 V-Disc titles but the last 2 don't show timings (St. Louis Blues, By 
the Light of the Silvery Moon) so maybe they've never turned up..are they on 
your disc?
