I'm not sure what to think on this. Both copies of Columbia 36009 in  
my collection couple "Tennessee Twilight" with "Got Another Sweetie  
Now." One copy has Take A of "TT" while the other copy is Take B. The  
Columbia "Abrams file" agrees with that coupling, but Abrams' ARC  
matrix file for 10000-14999 shows Columbia 36009 for "Madame  
Dynamite." "We Called It Music: A Generation of Jazz" shows "MD"  
issued on Brunswick (France) 500.406 and UHCA 64, but not Columbia  
36009. [I found another listing online showing two copies of "MD"  
coupled with "TT" on Parlophone R.2938, and a copy of 36009 coupled  
like my copies.]

It's certainly possible that there's a different coupling of 36009  
out there. In a different Columbia album, 35950 issue 1 is by Charles  
Pierce and his Orchestra ("Nobody's Sweetheart"/"Sister Kate") while  
issue 2 is by Eddie Condon ("Oh Baby!"/"Indiana"). Got a copy of each.

Take care,


Joe
