Both this site and Worldsrecords say the recordings on the "Make Believe" CD 
were made in the early 1950's.  But we know BLUE STAR didn't come out until 
1955, so some of the tracks may have been from RCA Victor masters, but maybe 
some were from a later label.
Looking carefully at the cover art for "Make Believe" I see it says 
recordings from 1956-1957.  So that answers one of my questions.  It "was" 
an old recording used in 1963 for the Philippines release.  So which label 
was Martin with in 1956-1957?
I don't know how Worldsrecords got the dates 1951-1952.  And was Merv 
Griffith still with Freddy Martin as late as 1956-1957.  I thought he was 
long gone by then, but it says Merv is on the "Make Believe" CD.
