Notes

The movie version of Take Me To The Fair is the master (Take 8) from September 22 with the backing vocals mixed out, and a ukulele overdubbed.

An acetate source of the overdubbed movie version of Take Me to the Fair was released on FTD's Soundtrack of 'It Happened at the World's Fair'. An alternate source with further overdubs of sound effects and longer intro, but otherwise of slightly better sound quality can be found on the original movie soundtrack.

The recording date of "August 30" given in 'Sessions I, II and III' may be due to transcription of handwritten notes.
