This side was recorded in New York City during January of 1928 with Leon Lucas vocals, Herb Wiedoeft trumpet, Jesse Stafford trombone, Joseph Nemoli clarinet, Larry Abbott, Gene Rose, and Fred Bibesheimer clarinet, alto, & tenor sax, Vincent Rose piano, Jose Sucedo banjo, Gerhardt 'Gay' Wiedoeft tuba, and Adolph Wiedoeft drums.

*"Ella Cinders" was composed by Sid Lanfield, with words written by Bill Conselman and Ben Bernie.
