Dear Marek,
The alternative takes of the Bechet-Spanier "China Boy" and "That's A Plenty" were officially issued on an unnumbered HRS 78.
The policy of French Classics was to reissue only the 'Original' released recordings (takes).
For example: The Jelly Roll Morton Victors but not the later Bluebirds containing the alternative masters. Which were later released by Neatwork on a companion series.
Cheers,
Bill [the pedant].
