Comments and Reviews


xiphophilos ● 30th Dec 2023		A side:



han enderman 4th Nov 2023		OK 6506 - original label of B-side, with airplane, added.



xiphophilos ● 4th Nov 2023		Likely released to coincide with The War Department's official "Keep 'Em Flying Week" (November 27 to December 3, 1941), see Movie and Radio Guide Week Ending Of 1941-12-05, page 5. The earliest release (Dec. 1941), still missing here, had a "Keep 'Em Flying" logo with an airplane on the B side (see here). It seems to be a bit rarer than the other two versions. Since the "Fitch Bandwagon" show was on January 18, 1942, the version that promotes the record's inclusion in the "Fitch Bandwagon" must be a January 1942 repress. The labels without references to Fitch or the "Keep 'Em Fling" plane logo on the B side must be later 1942 represses.
