Note: All titles appeared on the Columbia label, except "Midnight In Moscow", which was issued on Epic, and "Chicago, My Home Town", which appeared in the Columbia Special Products Encore series.

All sessions are mono except (M1 to N8) which have been mixed from the original three-track tapes to stereo.

Producer's note:
There are several fleeting drop-outs sprinkled throughout this set which are the result of tape deterioration. They are in all cases quite minor. The beginning of "How Come You Do Me Like You Do" (B) and "At The Jazz Band Ball" (E) and the ending of "I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me" (B) have an incorrectable problem, which causes the cymbals to sound out of phase.
Sessions K, N & O are mixed from the original three-track masters. Because of the unusual way in which the instruments were assigned to each of the three tracks, session N is mixed with a very small stereo spread. The three-track master of "St. James Infirmary" contains a high-pitched oscillation tone, so the mono master was used. Although sessions L & M were also recorded on three-track tapes, no analog source other than mono can be found. It is those mono analog sources that appear here. Only a mono master source exists for the alternate take of "Tiger Rag".

Additional note for CD edition:
Because of the unusual way in which the instruments were assigned to each of the three tracks, session N is mixed with a very small stereo spread. Most of sessions L & M survived in stereo on the digital tape used for CK-45145. Although "What's The Use" does appear on that CD, the original ending has several bad notes. So the mono version with the proper insert ending, which appeared on M 14396 is used here. Also, the master take of "Apex Blues" and the alternate takes of "Minor Drag" and "Tiger Rag" only exist in mono.
