One of the final issues by this “for collectors “ label, probably 1952. At the end of 1951, Billboard ran a front page article exposing Blue Ace and a couple other similar operations. I believe they were forced to shut down within a year or so of the article . I have never seen a 45 rpm issue by this company .

I think this is probably a repress from late 1947 or 1948 when Commodore introduced its "Starmaker Series."

@ Mike Gann-Not sure how I missed it. It was getting quite late…
Juke Jules’ comments from wikipedia are quite interesting. When I played the B side originally, the lyrics seemed so personal, I had to stop the record to see if she had a hand in the lyrics. What a sad tale of the state of her relationship and the acceptance of the unhappiness that would characterize her life.
The song seems to have touched many an artist judging on the amount of remakes of the song.

@ Dewey Gill. I've moved your images to this entry that we already have.

Billboard preferred “I Can’t Face The Music” in their revue over “Remember” which was unused from an earlier session.
