 "Gloomy Sunday" was quite a notorious song when Billie Holiday recorded it in August 1941, three months after "I'm In A Low Down Groove", see here. As expected it became a national hit in the USA, and it was presumably marketed as the top side from the beginning, so I have flipped sides accordingly (against the order of the matrix numbers).

 In January 1968, some 35 years after writing "Gloomy Sunday", its composer Rezső Seress did commit suicide. He survived jumping out of a window in Budapest, but later in the hospital choked himself to death with a wire.
