As you SHOULD know...between 1930 and mid-1936, ARC assigned ALL
sorts of credits to their studio-band sides...which were Adrian Schubert 
until
mid-1930, theoretically others until c.1932, and Freddy Martin from then
until  sometime in  1936, when a younger demographic of record buyers
began to demand not only specific TUNES...but specific VERSIONS
thereof! Several different bandleaders were apparently responsible for
the "studio-band sides" (ALL using stock arrangements...!)!
