Might as well correct the number all the way, fixbutte. The take number for Starlight and Tulips was -4, not -3. I seem to have inadvertantly copied the mx and take number from another track recorded at the same session. I should try to avoid doing this late at night. If I'd had all my faculties when I did it, I might have questioned whether the other side was actually by Thelma Terry and found the answer myself. At least now the entry is wholly accurate.
My apologies to the late Brian Rust. For the record, I Love You Truly did not make the cut for Jazz Records 6th Edition, even if you look for it under Guy Lombardo, although several Lombardo cuts made the same year are there. I'm pretty sure it will be in the Lombardo chapter of the American Dance Band discography if I look there.
Hi slholzer, it seems that everything you wrote about "Starlight And Tulips" is accurate except the matrix number which should be 145855. Here's a label image (proving the above matrix information from 78discography.com) and the music: http://www.heypally78rpms.com/2014_04_27_archive.html
The flip side, however, is truly impossible to find when you look for it under Thelma Terry And Her Play Boys. As distinguished from the original entry, it was not recorded by that band but by Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians (recorded Chicago, March 24, 1928, mx. 145836). You can find label images of both sides of Columbia 1532-D on Roots Vinyl Guide, again confirming the information from 78discography.com. I've corrected it that way.
Starlight and Tulips is notable as one of the earliest appearances on record by Gene Krupa. Also in the band at the time were trombonist Floyd O'Brien and the less well-known but very respected Bud Jacobson on clarinet. (Recorded Chicago, March 29, 1928, mx. 145852-3). Sadly, the flip side did not earn a spot in Rust's Jazz Records (he probably didn't see any hot potential in the title) and he did not cover this band in the American Dance Band Discography at all.
