Henry Hall - Teddy Bears' Picnic / Hush Hush Hush, Here Comes The Bogey Man		According to Sandy Forbes and Brian Rust's 'British Dance Bands On Record 1911 - 1945' Henry Hall's first recordings with the BBC Dance Orchestra (as The New BBC Dance Orchestra directed by Henry Hall) were made on the 19th of February 1932; the final Jack Payne BBC session had been on the 5th of that month. Versions of 'Teddy Bears Picnic' and 'Hush Hush Hush' were recorded on September 28th, 1932, by which time the 'New' part of the name had been dropped. The coupling was issed as Columbia DB-955 and also (later) as FB-2816. The matrix numbers were CA-13051-1 and CA-13048-1 respectively. The FB-2816 number is from the 'Variety' series, which started at FB-1000 in February 1935.
'Whos' Afraid?' was recorded on October 16th the following year, matrix number CA-14060-1, and was issued as CB-669 - it was in the CB-prefixed 'Dance' series, whereas 'Teddy' had been in the DB-prefixed 'Popular' series. The other side is listed as being 'Did My Heart Beat, Did I Fall In Love?, (CA-13963-3) which was recorded on the same day. 'Kennedy & Bratton' is the composer credit on DB-955.
Other versions of 'Teddy' were made by Jay Wilbur (twice, in 1932 for Eclipse and 1934 for Rex), Tommy Kinsman (1936, for Octacros) and Alec Brown (1937, for Decca).

I always knew that book would come in useful, once, someday. :-)
