A FINE ROMANCE..1953 (Stet LP) or Sept. 3/54, "found in the MGM vaults"
LIKE A WOMAN SHOULD or SHE ACTS LIKE A WOMAN SHOULD..1953 (Stet) or Sept.
3/54
YOU'D BE SURPRISED..Dec. 10/54 (There's No Business like Show Business?)
	(other songs from this film were recorded in May '54)
DO IT AGAIN and KISS are shown as unreleased in the MGM books, but were they

ever pressed as promos?
--------------
Think these were all RCA recordings, SHE ACTS LIKE A WOMAN SHOULD & YOU'D BE
SURPRISED cut from NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS, the others from an
unissued RCA studio session.  YOU'D BE SURPRISED was on the 45 RCA EP of
Marilyn songs from the movie. 
--------

SOME LIKE IT HOT..October 1958 (recorded for the film but not used?)
------
Issued on a UA 45 EP of Marilyn's songs from the film - the others were also
on the soundtrack LP as well, but not the title song for some reason. 
----------

What was the Sandy Crook LP (SH 2013) Marilyn Monroe: Rare Recordings
1948-1962 
stolen from?

-----
The Marilyn LP on the LEGENDS label.
