KERN: SCENARIO ON THEMES FROM SHOWBOAT. Catchy, eh? The Hangover Square 
Concerto, Barber's School for Scandal Overture, Raksin's "Laura" and Tansman's 
"Scherzo" from "Flesh and Fantasy" made up the B side, all played by the 
Janssen Symphony of Los Angeles. Camden CAL 205, issued 1954. The Hangover 
Square piece was also bootlegged on Cinema Records (the notorious one with "The 
Bride Wore Black" played at the wrong speed).
