Songs from matrix 74388 to 74391 are unknown and presumed to exist. Since there's no Ella on them, it's higly probable they featured only the band. Also, since no more than 4 songs could be recorded at a session, it's clear that this was a double session, and that Ella recorded two song at the beginning of the first one, and two at the end of the second one.

Masters 83010 and 83011 are actually representing each one half the song. Since the complete song was too long for a single side of both a standard 45 or a 78, the song was divided in two.
Most releases report Angel Eyes as master 83013, but in the actual recording session the master number was 83008.
As shown here master 83013 is The Girls Are Marching, and Ella is not even featured.

Ella's "Lullaby Of Birdland" drove the audience crazy, and they started demanding more fast tunes, while she was beginning "When Your Lover Has Gone". The noise was so loud that, in the middle of the performace, Norman Granz came to the stage and stopped Ella, asking the public for silence.
Then she began from the top, and the audience ended loving the slow tune as well.
