063861-2 Boogie Woogie Man Vic 27505
063863-1 Barrel House Boogie Vic 27504
063864-1 Cuttin' The Boogie -

Note: Some LP and CD re-issues incorrectly title Boogie Woogie Man as Boogie Woogie Jump with the matrix 063862-1 assigned to it. And although the Victor artist contract sheets do list a Boogie Woogie Jump (with matrix 063862-1) to have been issued on RCA Victor LEJ-1 (10" LP) and RCA Camden CAL-328 (12" LP), no metal part or test with that matrix number exists in the vaults and both these RCA re-issues use the common 78 take (-2) of Boogie Woogie Man. Not included in this set is an alternate take (-1) which is almost identical to the issued take, and a -3 which is the same as the issued take. Some discographies cite -1 for the 78 release, yet the Victor file card states "#1 unsightly light grooves" and the only take marked for release was -2.

Note: Matrix 055533-1 is listed in discographies as being issued on Victor 26739. However, the file cards and ledgers list only -2 as being scheduled for release and copies of Victor 26739 we have examined contain only -2 as the master.

Note: Matrix 055228-1 is listed in discographies as being issued on Victor 27278, however, this take has eluded us and therefore we cannot confirm its existance. In addition, the metal part (and any test pressings) are no longer in the physical posession of BMG. The CD release on Classics 624 (Lionel Hampton 1941) and RCA (J) 90-95 (LP) both list Lost Love as using -1, however, -2 is the take that is used.

Producer's Note:
This set contains all of the sessions led by Lionel Hampton for the Victor label from 1937 to 1941. Although the sound quality of these sessions will differ from track to track, we have made every effort to obtain the best possible source copy which, in the case of this set, was theginal metal parts and test pressings.

In addition to the original Victor file cards and ledgers, the following sources were used for this discography: The Jazz Discography by Tom Lord (Cadence Jazz Books), Jazz Survivor by Marshal Royal (Cassell Pub.), Jazz Records 1897-1942 Sixth Edition by Brian Rust (Storyville).
