Actually there were 8 - two takes of each tune. TWo of the alternate 
takes disappeared but all six surviving recordings were issued a few 
years ago on the complete works of Django as issues by Frémeaux in 
France. (Integrale Django Reinhardt, Vol. 8: 1938-1939)

Adler actaally played along with the alternate take of "I Got Rhythm" 
during his concert at the 1995 SPAH festival.
