If they had "stolen" it, why would they mention it openly on the label?!

Because a court case forced them to!  The composers of "That Teasin' Rag"
took the band to court for using their song without attribution or
compensation.   And I HAVE seen the disc with all three label variations
mentioned in the article.  Ironically, the 1997 vinyl 45 repressing is MUCH
harder to find than the original disc.
