Tony Russell shows Fruit jar as Victor 23756, with Rough neck blues (BS
74812) on the reverse.

I've received the following query on the Online Discographical Project.
Can
anyone confirm this?  Makes sense to me....

A question / possible error / inconsistency in the discog listing for Bb
B-5001, Allen Brothers FRUIT JAR BLUES and VI 23755 Allen Brothers FRUIT
JAR BLUES.

First, the XREF for B-5001 points to VI 23756, but the Vi listing shows
FRUIT JAR BLUES as half the coupling on Vi 23755.

Next, you show Bb-5001 as the coupling
FRUIT JAR BLUES 12/5/1932 Mx 74805
JAKE WALK BLUES 6/6/1930 Mx 62590-2

While Vi 23755 shows
FRUIT JAR BLUES 5/27/1930 Mx 62514

The XREF to the Victor side would make more sense if the Bb data for FRUIT
JAR BLUES were the same date/matrix. And the Bluebird coupling would make
more sense too, since the recordings would be 10 days apart instead of 2
1/2 years apart.

Also, for your info, both sides of Bb-5001 should be cross-referenced to
Montgomery Ward M-4281.

Many thanks for the help!
