Summary

The retained public Bentley catalogue capture contains 68 catalogue pages grouped under 34 original-disc tags whose labels explicitly identify Ivan Walton, 1940, and Beaver Island, Michigan. The companion review inventory is generated from a stated exact-label rule so that the series can be refreshed without manually recounted totals.

This is a catalogue-coverage record, not a claim that all 34 discs form a single recording session, share the same performers, or have been heard by this project. Song, story, and person labels remain Bentley catalogue metadata until their particular audio, transcripts, or independent sources have been reviewed. The already reviewed AFC SR076 and SR088 entries are linked as examples of item-level treatment, not as a claim that every other disc has equivalent review.
