NOTE
All dates of issue mentioned in this discography are similar to those mentioned in Jim Marshall’s
Jo Stafford Discography (JM JSD) - unless otherwise stated. For this album, the date of issue mentioned in JM JSD is October 1945. Two Capitol Album Discographies on the internet, however, mention May 1944 as date of issue for this album.
See http://www.friktech.com/labels/CapitolAlbums.pdf and http://www.bsnpubs.com/capitol/01capitol1-149.html
I think May 1944 must be the correct date, also because it figures in the August 2, 1952 issue of Billboard Magazine, which contains a special section on Capitol Records’ Tenth Anniversary.
