Piano attribution and surviving references
The notes tentatively credit Daphne Weeks on piano alongside Lord Invader’s vocal. The word “probably” matters: this source does not establish a certain pianist identification.

Find the documented performance
The booklet gives matrix CB217, a Smithsonian acetate reference and two Folkways catalog references. It explicitly leaves the original Cub issue number unknown. The later 2000 compilation therefore offers a traceable performance without resolving every earlier release detail.
