NOTE: The Reynold’ transcription is faulty through “Liza” and “Russian Lullaby,” has in it severe losses in gain and some dropouts. Further, “Russian Lullaby” is “split” between the two original 16” acetates, further complicating this transfer. A good audio fidelity transfer of “Russian Lullaby” is available on bootleg LP Fanfare 37-137, and it is appended here:
1:01:06: appended: from LP, Fanfare 37-137 Russian Lullaby
