Colin
Firstly welcome to this board.
In answer to your query the Jonzo series covered studio recordings intended for record issue and picked up some errors and alternative takes (though some were not discovered until after issue with a few being caught up with later in the series or on the subsequent "Though The Years" series).
A recording exists of a "fluff" of Jimmy Valentine which is believed to originate from a film studio take intended for the film "Star Maker", not a record studio take. However, surprising as it may be new discoveries are always being made and it might just be that you have something else. Can you enlarge on the source of the item you have or know of?
The recording is listed in the discography in May 1939 here
I am not aware of it on CD.
The topic was briefly aired previously on this board at

Like Richard, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it on a CD, but it was on an old Curtain Calls LP...

I got my 'fluff' from Curtin Call"/ It sounds like an outtake to me? / I also know this was bootlegged on a 78,but I do not have it .I think my friend Richard Wagner HAD it/ Richard has passed away, so I can't ask him./

I got my 'fluff' from Curtin Call"
- which confirms it is the discarded version for the film. It is the identical arrangement as in the film and very different to the medley issued on the record DLA 1796.
