[78-L] Marilyn Monroe studio recordings..some info please

[David Lennick]

Should'a looked in the Irving Berlin Songography (Dave Jay, Arlington House).

RCA EPA 593: MARILYN MONROE in Irving Berlin's THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW 
BUSINESS: You'd Be Surprised; Heat Wave; Lazy; After You Get What You Want You 
Don't Want It.

Apparently "After You Get What You Want" was cut from the film in Canada, and a 
new song "But I Ain't Got a Man" never made it into the film at all. I wonder 
why that one hasn't turned up on any of the unauthorized compilations?
