[78-L] Lunceford: was Unissued Slim and Slam

[soundthink at aol.com]

Yup. I have this disc also. Recorded 1/31/39 (just passed its 70th anniversary!). Singer's name is credited as "Grisson" on the label. Not one of Lunceford's better sides.

Actually done by Dan Gruesome -er, Grissom on the B side of a Lunceford 
record,Vocalion 4754. Composer credit to Gaillard. No sign of a Slim & Slam 
version. Check your Chmura listing?

I've had a vinyl pressing from a very noisy stamper of an unissued Vocalion 
master, 23360-2, 'You're Just a Dream', typed label reading Slim And Slam. This 
number is not in Rust or Lord, but the three numbers preceding it are 
(23357/9), August 17, 1938. Unlike the usual Slim & Slam fare, this is a 
ballad, only Slim (as far as I know) taking the vocal, with some nice tenor sax 
playing by Kenneth Hollon. Does anyone know why this wasn't issued (I'm 
assuming it wasn't) and why it isn't even listed, or has it appeared anywhere? 
Or might the master have been damaged in the original processing? Is there a 
take -1?

Inquiring minds have nothing better to do..it's not even a very good song, the 
kind of thing the Ink Spots would have used as a B side. Just curious.
