[78-L] Hong Kong Blues

[soundthink at aol.com]

It was also on the soundtrack LP for "The Apartment." There's another good version by Beatle George Harrison on his Dark Horse LP "Somewhere in England."

The 1942 version is Hoagy with Artie Bernstein and Spike Jones.
Other versions:
 V-Disc medley from August '45 on Totem 1039 (LP)
 Les Brown 78 on Coral 61520 from 1955
 1981 Audiophile LP (AP165)
The 1944 film version can be found on a WB single 5222 (1960) or on the 
ouble-LP 3XX2737; and on Totem 1039, too.
There's a Joyce 1130 LP, with the Stan Kenton orchestra ??

 As I recall, the Decca is Hoagy and a small rhythm section, probably 
 Spike
 Jones on drums. Spike could be on the Botkin version as well (haven't 
 checked)
 since he often drummed in Perry's ensembles.
