Yep, I have these sides on Musicraft BB-100 - with a special, colorful
label.

A lot better than my wild guess. McBride played clarinet on two sides (his
own 
compositions) with the Boston Pops and Shefter recorded a number of piano
duets 
with Morton Gould, hence my "better than nothing" conjectures.

GM was Musicraft's matrix series, as far as I know, unless it belonged to a 
private New York studio Musicraft used, because similar numbers with the GM 
prefix have also shown up on Blue Note and Gramophone Shop Varieties. One
Josh 
White session was even divided up between Musicraft and Blue Note.
