Note: Date listed incorrectly in the Vic Lewis Discography as April 10, 
1944 and subsequently correctly by the compiler, Tony Middleton, in his 
liner notes on Harlequin (E)HQ3008.
"Wigmore blues", "Wigmore Jump" and "Tea for two" were each recorded in 
two parts.  Parts of the relevant instrumental solos in "Tea for two" 
had been lost so no attempt was made to produce a clean splice as was 
possible on "Wigmore blues" and "Wigmore Jump".
See March 12, 1945 for the rest of Harlequin (E)HQ3008.
