Whyperion SUBS 14th Sep 2024		Book Kevin McCormack - Glory Days (2020)	I rather think the "publisher image" never existed in print . Abebooks/Amazon / Waterstones websites seem to have the publisher image , I would have to check contemporary adverts in Buses, that I have somewhere, to check
Whyperion SUBS 20th Aug 2022		Book Steve Waters - The British Hit Singles January 1940 (2013)	An example might be Gracie Fields - When Our Dreams Grow Old Actually the song had at least 4 other recordings Ambrose And His Orchestra- The Singing Hills / When Our Dreams Grow Old Decca F.7551 940 UK (vocal by Vera Lynn) (versions also by Joe Loss, Monte Rey and Caroll Gibbons&Savoy Dance Orpheans Having said that B Feldman's Sheet Music Features and Credits Gracie Fields with Broadcasting AND Recording the song. Broadcast on Madras 2 at 1010AM on Sat 29th March 1941 with two other songs. Recorded London May 15 1940 . Should be on Regal Zonophone MR 3308 with If I Should Fall In Love Again (which was one of the other tracks Broadcast on the Indian Radio Station. I would suggest that the sheet music feature Gracie Fields because of a possible closer contract connection with B Feldman, OR her being a greater popular star at the time of the publication of the music release ( esp with Vera Lynn only getting a side billing ). So in that sense the "chart" might be unrepresentative. But I agree with pt1966. the discs almost certainly were issued but lost to time (see my forum entries on the likes of Purchase Tax and deletions of records as the UK had other things on its mind). Sheet Music WOULD have sold as the piano in the pub probably stayed a constant through the war. but even then we could be talking relatively low total sales for any one song.
