[78-L] BLUEBIRD B-11262-A (Ain't Nothin' To It)

[Michael Biel]

The ring lengths and cuts are pressing plant codes.  I do not have the
codes for the RCA Mfg Co. labels, only the meatball labels.

Bluebird has several label types. 
This label has rings of equal length and there are no cuts at 10h/2h.
Possibly the error occurs only with this label variant.

Existence of this mispressing is mentioned on the French RCA-Black &
White LP reissue of "Fats" stuff. Lucky you to find a copy!

"Come And Get It" (PBS 061335-1) and "Ain't Nothin' To It" (PBS
061337-1) come from the same 1 July 1941 session.

My copy of B-11262 plays as labeled. It probably didn't take long to
catch and correct the mistake.

Mispressings happen. I have a copy of Bluebird B-10531, so-labeled and
marked in the wax, by Earl Hines and his Orchestra (Riff Medley/X Y Z),
but the side labeled "X Y Z" actually plays Charlie Barnet's "The Right
Idea" (Bluebird B-10530-B). You'd think the wax would have "B-10530 B"
but no, it's marked "B-10531 B." Really strange.

Take care,
