I don't see it in any of her three Columbia albums on 78, and my copy of 
her late 50s/early 60s album on a small LP label is not on the shelf 
where it should be.

This album has a rather interesting and confusing career.  It came out 
as two separate Warner Bros albums but the first one also exists as an 
RCA Victor LP.  I have a feeling that the Victor was a RCA Record Club 
issue just like the Mary Poppins soundtrack which the club sold with RCA 
Victor labels and jacket logos instead of Buena Vista.  Likewise, I 
think that this two disc version might be a Columbia record club issue.  
Those "etching" numbers are Columbia.  WB used both Columbia and Victor 
pressing plants in those days, so that is not surefire evidence that it 
is a record club issue, but look around it when you get it for "CRC" on 
labels or jacket.  I think I do have a copy of this set -- I KNOW I have 
both WB singles and the Victor, but don't want to spend time looking for 
them unless I need to!
