I used Rollins as an example of Rust's strange attitude of what to 
include in his discographies. Yes, they are listed in the other two 
works you mention. In his early efforts at jazz discography, he excluded 
The Spirits of Rhythm, but included The Light Crust Doughboys!.

Welcome Lewis is listed in Ross Laird's "Moanin' Low" (A Discography of 
Female Popular Vocal Recordings, 1920-1933).
