Richard Tauber's two entries with "You Are My Heart's Delight" are the same recording but with just different catalogue numbers......Should this not fall into the category of re-entries...........I wonder why on your spreadsheet Adelaide Hall gets a mention for No. 442

I need a check on Number 275....Joe Loss "Only Forever" HMV BD 5647......The label says " with vocal chorus" and you have it on your spread sheet as vocalist Paula Green but when I play it I get Sam Browne(Male)........

After a bit of detective work, I suspect the version you have is not by Joe Loss, but actually by The Organ, The Dance Band & Me! There seems to have been a digital album release which has included a track wrongly credited to Joe Loss with Sam Browne [see this youtube video). The organ and piano-heavy accompaniment suggested to me it was a Billy Thorburn band and indeed it is the same track that's elsewhere credited to The Organ, The Dance Band & Me (see e.g. this youtube video).

Unfortunately digital-only releases are often quite sloppy when it comes to providing accurate information (although to be fair I've come across many CDs with mis-attributed titles and vocalists etc.). Here they got both the band and the vocalist wrong - it's not even Sam Browne singing, it's Alan Kane!

I've extracted an mp3 with the Joe Loss / Paula Green version from one of Alan Dell's old Dance Band Days radio programmes. I'll send if over to you.
