igneous_rock 16th Nov 2020		Billboard for November 20, 1948 already lists this under "Big Sellers."

GumboStu 20th Apr 2016		Excellent info. Thank you :) Sad to say, I'd forgotten about praguefrank!



fixbutte 20th Apr 2016		... and "So Tired" was actually the A-side. Capitol, like some other labels, had a coded side designation in which the "y" under the matrix number meant the top side and the "z" meant the flip side. See the comments on Capitol 1010, among others. I have flipped sides on this record accordingly (see also SearchWorks). I have also added the exact recording date and studio for the "z" side (from praguefrank's Kay Starr sessionography/discography). Your release date guess (December 1948) is somehow confirmed by the Billboard mentions, first in a Capitol advert in the December 4 issue (page 29). As "So Tired" already made the Most-Played Juke Box Records chart in the following Billboard issue (for "Week Ending December 3"), a late November 1948 is distinctly more probable though. I've corrected it like that.



GumboStu 20th Apr 2016		This is one where the early matrix number doesn't make sense for the A/B side allocation. So Tired was a hit in January 1949, and was a hit in Nov 48 for the composer , Russ Morgan. Steady Daddy was recorded a year before going by nearby matrix numbers (Benny Goodman and Peggy Lee recorded matrices 2722-2728 on 12/2/47) so it looks like Capitol used an old recording to back the 'rushed out to compete over christmas' recording.
