NOTES
According to the Discography for CD B in the JSP CD Box ‘Jo Stafford – 108 Classic Sides from a great American hitmaker’, ‘Gee, It’s Good To Hold You’ was ‘possibly transcribed from an AFRS broadcast c. 1945’. But I compared this V-Disc’s version of the song with the one commercially issued on Capitol 213, and it is my impression that both versions are identical. For now, I assume the producers of this V-Disc made use of the Capitol recording of ‘Gee, It’s Good To Hold You’.
‘That’s For Me’ was also commercially issued on Capitol 213 (September 1945).
