Note :

Not Included the Jelly Roll Morton Library of Congress recordings re-issued on the Circle JM series box sets

This whole label was a mess each track had needle drop & noisy ending. Volumes were all over the places. I spent a whole week cleaning the tracks up & re tagging / adding labels. Lots of misinformation on the www. about Circle to wade through and check. A lot of issue dates on Disclogs are wrong. So I hope somebody enjoys Circle. it was very hard work to get this far. Corrections additions welcome.
