This lineage is not documented, but is what
is listed at the Jerry Site and certainly
sounds plausible.

Comments:
This source is an upgrade over the currently circulating source (SHNID=11254) with none of the previously noted flaws:
– complete version of “Someday Baby”
– no dropouts in “Road Runner”
– no crackles in “My Problems Got Problems”
– “Mystery Train” fades in very quickly but I think all of the notes are there.

Thanks to Michael Townshend for letting me check out his DAT.
