Dear Bob,
It would be a lot easier to help if you provide more info, as Louis 
only recorded that 1922 Layton-Creamer song with his All Stars - 
between 1947 and 1965.
Jos Willems wonderful book has 22 versions of it, as you've found.
Hans Westerberg's fine discography lists 16.
What Louis' All Stars period are we looking at?
Who is on clarinet? Which is a good way of narrowing down the search.
What are the other 11 titles on the cassette/LP?
Is it a complete potpourri, or do some of the sessions line up?
Perhaps we should continue this off-list so as not to upset the 
anti-discographal police.
Kind regards,
Bill.
