There are still 92 known unissued tracks from 1948. 19 of which are from the live recording on November 21, 1948. I'm not sure if those are still unreleased or they may be floating around? It seems kind of silly to release only half of a show. Volume 1 1-4; recorded September 1948 in New York City 5-39; recorded late September 1948 in New York City Volume 2 1-27; recorded October 1948 Volume 3 1-24; recorded October 1948 Volume 4 1-28; recorded October 1948 Volume 5 1-26; recorded live on November 21, 1948 at a private party of Kenneth E. Britzius in Minneapolis
