From Bruce Bastin's book The Melody Man: Joe Davis and the New York Music Scene, 1916-1978:
On August 29 Davis recorded a dozen titles, including older risqué titles like "Electrician Blues" and "Shake Your Can," by New York City-based Joyce Heath, at Mastertone's studios on 8th Avenue with pianist Al Williams. Davis JD 112 Confidential was released as by Angelina, immediately before an album by Dardanelle Hadley. Confusingly, singer Inez "Lady" Washington, from 138th Street, New York, New York, signed with Davis that month and was credited with being the artist on this album; perhaps she is also Joyce Heath!
