 @dvdmike:
I've never heard of a record that was released (i.e. pressed and sent to the wholesalers and then to the record stores) on the same day as it was recorded. Actually there were a few records in the 1930s and 1940s that were already released in the month of the recording. Looking at the Bluebird catalog with recording dates, however, it seems that this one was released in July 1941 (the preceding #B-11208 was recorded even later, on Jun 24, 1941).

Anyway the B-side, "Piano Concerto In B Flat", made Billboard's National Best Selling Retail Records chart (an actual top ten chart, not one of Joel Whitburn's fictional charts) on Aug 9, 1941, reaching number 1 on Oct 4, 1941 and occupying the top spot for 8 weeks (last chart action on Jan 17, 1942).

Btw: "Piano Concerto In B Flat" was based on Tchaikovsky's piano concerto, but Freddy Martin or arranger Ray Austin were apparently influenced by a German recording because the Russian composer's name on the label is transcribed the German way (Tschaikowsky).

 The session date for "Piano Concerto In B Flat" was 16 Jun 1941. I'm not sure that was the release date, although there were instances where a song was recorded and released on the same day.
