Please note: my copy of MILTONE 5201 is cracked, but the record plays albeit with a constant click. I hope this does not spoil your listening pleasure

LUCKY WHITE on the COURTNEY Label

There are at least two releases on COURTNEY by Lucky White And His Dude Ranch Playboys; both of the two known releases are wrongly numbered.

COURTNEY 129 (COURTNEY 229)
LUCKY WHITE AND HIS DUDE RANCH PLAYBOYS
Teddy Bear (129.A)
() ()
Jackson Stomp (129.B)
(Leodie Jackson) (No Publisher Noted)

COURTNEY 129 is wrongly numbered, release is actually
COURTNEY 229.

Although it's only pure conjecture, I suspect that “Jackson Stomp” is an earlier recording by Leodie Jackson which has no connection with Lucky White and his band.

COURTNEY 130 (COURTNEY 230)
LUCKY WHITE AND HIS DUDE RANCH PLAYBOYS
Down And Out Blues (Vocal – Lucky White) (130.A)
(Lucky White) (No Publisher Noted)
That Naggin’ Wife Of Mine (Vocal – Leodie Jackson) (130.B)
(Leodie Jackson) (No Publisher Noted)

COURTNEY 130 is wrongly numbered, release is actually
COURTNEY 230.

A side has CR 229.B in deadwax which has been deleted and replaced with CR 230.A. B side has 137.A in deadwax

“Down And Out Blues” appears to have been scheduled for release, coupled with “Teddy Bear”, as the ‘B’ side of COURTNEY 129 (229). However it was issued as the A side of COURTNEY 130 (230), with a much earlier recording by Leodie Jackson on the flipside, which infact is a reissue of COURTNEY 137.A.

Hear "Down And Out Blues"

The MAE-MAE label was copyrighted in 1948. That does not necessary mean that the above releases were issued in 1948, but they almost certainly predate Arkie Shibley's MT. DEW / GILT EDGE releases.
