Does anyone have what I presume exists: A 1925 edition of "Sugar Foot Stomp"?
According to the Library of Congress's copyright records, it was first
published in 1925 with the credits "by Joe Oliver & Louis Armstrong; arr.
Donald Redman & Elmer Schoebel."
A second card at LC says it was published [again] in 1926, this time with
credits of "Oliver, Joe, music; Melrose, Walter, words," but that copyright
card is dated 1942. The copy of the music held in the LC music collection
is the 1926 one, with, indeed, a stamp on the top indicating it was
received in 1942.
We're trying to get the credits right on this for a new Stomp Off CD, and
if the 1925 sheet music exists and its credits agree with the 1925
copyright card, that's what we'll go with.
