[78-L] Bunny Berigan mystery

Biograph BLP-C10 has "In a Little Spanish Town", Bunny Berigan and his boys, 
showing mx 20317-1 and listing Columbia C-1151 as the source. That would be a 
Canadian red Columbia.

Lord says that the Biograph LP has Take TWO, which appeared only on 78 on 
Special Editions SE 5004S plus a couple of LP issues, and that Take 1 appeared 
only on Mosaic MD7-219.

Hah?

Canadian Columbia C1151 does indeed contain Spanish Town, a dubbed master, 
20317-2A. Is the Special Editions issue also a dub, and is that its first issue?

Flip of C1151 is the 1936 "I Can't Get Started", also a dub (19013-1B). Lord 
shows no other 78 issue for this side. How does this end up on Canadian 
Columbia without a US equivalent?

Inquiring minds....
