“Boots And Saddle”:
This
particular tune has appeared in 78 form only in Argentina in Odeon 284465. I think it
has been reissued on Cd somewhere but, of course, the only source for this is the
Argentine Odeon pressing presented here, and, by the way, is not a master
pressing, as it has the small etched matrix Nº 90541-A as opposed to the italic etched
numbers that denote a master pressing. This was recorded on Dec. 21, 1935, and I don’t
know the reason for this being a dub, as other decca Art Tatum records on Odeon are
matrix pressings. Anyway, no matter what it’s a dub, the sound is pretty good even
considering that. It’s a high quality dub, no question about it.
This record
has a peculiarity that I mention in its commentary, so check it also.
“I would do anything for You”:
This tune
is coupled with “Boots and Saddle” that I also comment in its section, but the thing
about it is that this tune also appears on Odeon 286341-B (38388-C), a record
not mentioned in Rust’s discography even in the last (2007) edition of it. Its
coupling is “Indiana” (DLA 2071) recorded July 26, 1940 and for this title in
fact Rust mentions this Odeon release. Well, if he received the data about Odeon 286341 ¿why he didn’t got the
data about the two sides of the record? It’s
kind of a mystery that I will let you people solve if you may.
