[Dixielandjazz] I need a Bessie Smith record label

[Dick Baker]

Do any of you folks have Columbia 14435-D?

1. Is the title "I Got What It Takes" or "I've Got What It Takes"?

2. And is there a subtitle "(But It Breaks My Heart to Give It Away)"?

This one's maddening:  The May 13, 1929, copyright (by Clarence 
Williams-Hezekiah Jenkins), the May 15 Bessie recording, and the 
October 9 Clarence Williams recording (OKeh 8738) are all slightly 
different from each other.
