Hi Mike:

There was no "Fine Sound Studios" in October 1957, so that is wrong wherever
that's listed. I was particularly interested in the accuracy regarding the
Reprise sessions in the 60s. I do not own that multi-CD complete Reprise
recordings set so I don't know if the book in that box set is parallel to
that website.
