Thanks, KeithS, for adding this interesting article. I have always wondered where these Bell records were sold. Now I know!

Oh yeah sorry about that guys, I meant the okeh recording. My canadian is showing, all okehs were pressed on columbia up here.
Also I thought the vocalion record was a unique recording? Maybe the one I thought was it is actually this bell record

Thanks, Han, I've added Bruyninckx' recording date to the entry. OkeH 6634 is also in this database.

Comment by han enderman:

Bell 1006 - Bruyninckx (2015) lists this session as NY c.Apr 1952. Reissued on Classics CD 1287. - There was a 2-2-1942 OK 6634 recording, at the time when OK was produced by Columbia. Canadian equivalents were issued in the Co C-series (but not Minnie), and some US Calloways were issued in the Co 36000 series. On Columbia/CBS/Epic LPs.

Rust's Jazz Records doesn't list a reissue on Columbia

Comment by xiphophilos:

Brunswick 6074 from 1931, reissued on Vocalion 4753 in 1939, was recorded by the Cab Calloway Orchestra, whereas these two tracks were recorded by Cab Calloway with Jimmy Carroll and His Orchestra. So no, they are not the same.

I am not aware of the Columbia release. What is its catalog number?

Comment by Mike Gann:

I don't believe that Bell had any relation to any of the other labels so this would have been a new version.

Comment by SeverlyWarpedRecord:

Is this record a unique recording of minnie the moocher or is it one of the 3 previous recordings (brunswick, vocalion, and columbia)?

With respect 2 bocknobby, unfolded A side label scan added. I also added the release month, per Page 27 of the 08 May 1954 issue of Billboard Magazine (under Other Pop Records Released This Week).
