The Plaza Master Book lists #10136 as Never Swat A Fly by "Ed Kirkeby and is
Orch." with vocal by "Eddie Walters & ensemble."
I have it on Romeo as by "The Varsity Eight" and, like many of the late
issues under that name, it is audibly very clearly by the Karl
Radlach-Bernie Cummins unit. The band vocal does not include Eddie Walters
and sounds just like the band vocals on the Radlach and Cummins records of
the era. Radlach's very distinctive piano style is much in evidence as
well.
My Romeo is noted as 10136-2 although the Plaza book lists only take 3.
So the questions: Does anyone have any more information about this side or
the session, which also produced two more titles, which I don't have? And
does anyone have any other labeled takes of Never Swat a Fly? A friend has
take 3 but I have not yet compared his with mine. BTW my friend's Conquerer
is issued as "Ed Kirkeby" contrary to the Plaza book listing.
Many thanks in advance for any info.
