fixbutte 3rd Mar 2014		Original Philo label images added, showing that "Be-Baba-Leba", Helen Humes' #3 R&B hit, was actually the designated B-side. There are also blue label and black label issues of this record, all with the same side designation though. I've also uploaded a Philo ad from the Billboard of Oct 20, 1945, showing that "Be-Baba-Leba" was the preferred side already then (although not really "America's No.1 Blues Hit!" by this point, actually not yet listed in the very short Race Record chart of the week). A previous ad in the Billboard of Sep 29, 1945, p. 26 indicates that the record was already available in that month.
