Taylor,
My copy of Decca1220 You Showed Me The Way is take -A as well. A US Decca issue. Probably around V+. I've had take -B, but got rid of t long ago as I didn't like it as much as take -A. My first 78 was Decca 1840 Chick Webb A-Tisket, A-Tasket/Liza, but sold it long ago.

Philip (not sentimental about keeping my first ever 78) Fukuda

Thanks,  Scott.  That does seem like a lot of sides for one 
session...interesting that the Armstrong master numbers fall within the 
Webbs.  Did that happen very often?  I guess the order of numbers might not 
have been the actual order in which they were recorded.
