> The Daems (EPs)/Belfort (10 track LP) issues are retitled, and not different recordings.
> Bruyninckx lists the 4 sides of Orig. Haitian Music 1-4 also under their alternative titles

> Why the session is listed as HAITIAN ORCHESTRA is not clear.

> The credit on Varsity is:
> WILLIE (THE LION) SMITH-SIDNEY BECHET ORCHESTRA
> (Leo Warney at the Drums).

> 12 titles were on Swingtime 1014 (LP).
> Long ago I tried to decifer this session and assumed there were 13 titles,
> mxs 570-582, incl. 580? Colonel Bogey.
> 13 titles are on the complete Bechet CD issue on Classics, and I assume
