>> My copies of these are autographed.  Last week I picked up my second copy

>> record numbers 38131-34, matrices HCO 3012-18.  There is a copyright date 
>> on the front cover of 1948. What are the recording dates?   While 
>> introducing the Warsaw Concerto in the concluding section of his first 
>> live album, Comedy In Music, which was recorded during the 1953 Boston 
>> tryout of his one man show on the way to Broadway, he says: "I've 
>> recorded another album for Columbia which seems to be a secret."  Now, 
>> since he was stating this in the FIRST of the two 12-inch LPs that were 
>> issued during that era, what album was he referring to ON the album????? 
>> It had to be an album that was on the market because his sarcastic 
>> comment about it seeming to be a secret was a joke about it not selling. 
>> Therefore it couldn't be either of the 12-inch albums because neither had 
>> been released prior to him recording the first of the two!  Both C 161 
>> and CL 6013 were released in 1948 which was five years prior to the 1953
