fixbutte 8th Aug 2018		xiphophilos wrote: Still, that doesn't explain why Columbia waited a full two years before they finally released these two numbers. It could be, of course, that they tried to stretch their already recorded Benny Goodman material as much as they could, only releasing it in certain intervals. But that's a perfect explanation. The record companies recorded as much as they could in order to bridge the time of the strike - and of World War II that the USA had just entered on December 8, 1941. Look at the long list of titles that the Glenn Miller Orchestra recorded in just three days, from 14 July to 16 July 1942, commented on RCA Victor 20-1546. The last record of these Glenn Miller tracks was released around the same time as this one here, in March 1944.



j.monk 8th Aug 2018		Thanks, both posts very enlightful !



xiphophilos 8th Aug 2018		A side:



xiphophilos 8th Aug 2018		Columbia settled with the musicians' union on Nov. 1, 1944, so this record did indeed appear during the Petrillo ban, when only recordings made before July 31, 1942 could be released. Still, that doesn't explain why Columbia waited a full two years before they finally released these two numbers. It could be, of course, that they tried to stretch their already recorded Benny Goodman material as much as they could, only releasing it in certain intervals.



scrough 7th Aug 2018		Petrillo ban?



j.monk 7th Aug 2018		These songs were recorded in '42 and released in '44. Have they been released before (making this very record a reissue) or did Columbia kept the songs aside all this time ?
