All recordings similar to each other (all based on an arrangement of the tune for the Goldkette orchestra), but with noticeable differences.  2 and 3 have the most similar arrangements. The main difference between 2 and 3 is in Spencer Clark's solo. Clark's solo in the Homochord recording is an interpolation of a theme from Souza's "National Emblem March."


Note 1. Rust gives the date as Dec 17? 1928.
Note 2. From liner notes for Oracle Jazz CD BDW 8045. The British Phototone record is a synchronized single-sided disc. The synchronization is for a three minute film.
