Name of the record appears as "The Early Years, 1931 - 33" on the front of the sleeve, "The Early Years, 1931 - 35" on the back of the sleeve and "The Early Years" on the spine. Seems like the LPs were first released as separate volumes (one of them can be found here: http://www.discogs.com/Benny-Goodman-And-His-Orchestra-The-Early-Years-1934-35/release/6327871) and then put all in one package, perhaps a bit hastily... Liner notes by Alan Roberts If anyone has more up to date info, he/she is welcome to fill in/correct!
