That's  one of them, Don.  There were two issues accounted for to date. 
Yours is  one.
The  other is

Ge 4994-A   Gennett Laughing  Record
Al H.  Weston & Irene Young
(8096a) [rec. 11/08/22  NYC]

Ge  4944-B   Blue Danube Waltz  
Capodiferro's   Band
(7776) [rec. 02/21/22 NYC]

Note also that both recorded  takes  of the laughing record, 8096(plain) & 
8096a, were issued,  both  recorded on the same date, Nov. 8, 1922.
And, just to be  complete, mx 8088  (3 takes recorded - plain, a & B) was 
recorded  on Oct. 31, 1922  NYC.

Re-check your matrix number of "Valse Ma  Jolie"(from the runout  area, 
please) and let me know what take you  have. Currently, I only show  the 
-B take as having been  issued.

Yes, it's B.  Incidently, is that typo  on Blue Danube Waltz at Gennett  
4944?

On checking the run-out of the Laughing Record (8096a), I find that Valse  
Ma Jolie has in the run-out (8088) w/o an a or b.  The B is at 12 o'clock  
in the wax, as is the A on the Laughing Record.
