For version 0.7.0, I have:

  • Confirmed that the following records or record sides contain Elwin vocals:
    • Dec F-1551
    • Dec mx. FMB-570
    • Dec mx. MB-730
    • HMV B-5598
    • HMV B-5605
    • Par E-5949
    • Par mx. E-3949
  • Ruled out Solex 20 as not having Elwin vocals.
  • Substantially improved the typography and, especially, the tabular layout of the data.

Most noteworthy, perhaps, of the additions made in this edition are the two Ambrose discs, HMV B-5598 and HMV B-5605. Elwin has never been formally documented to have worked with Ambrose, but I am pleased to recognize his voice on these four sides and gratified to find that some of my friends and associates agree.
