Me: "*There may be 1929 Victor release under a different title and/or band name."

These are most likely 78s remastered to 10" LPs:

The Weed Song, Bill Rogers, w/Harry Whitaker Combo, Shantos From Guyana, Shanto, LP, Jamaica, trk. A1
(No release date or cat#. Whitaker Combo also performed as The Guyana All Stars. )
Reissued as:
The Weed Song, Bill Rogers, B.G Bhagee, Kross Kolor Records, KKRA027, CD, Guyana, trk. 1


Compilations of previously released (?) Parlophone 78s:

Weed Woman, Bill Rogers, w/Freddy Grant's Demerarians, Compilation, Calypsos Das Caraibas, Odeon, MODB 90, LP, 10", Brazil
Weed Woman, Bill Rogers, w/Freddy Grant's Demerarians, Caribbean Calypso, Parlophone, CPMD 13, LP, 10", UK

Track copyright on the following compilation is 1934 but no band name given:
West Indian Weed, Bill Rogers, Calypso Pioneers 1912-1937, Rounder Records, 1039, LP, 1989, trk. B4. (also on Rounder CD & cassette.)
