[78-L] Artie Shaw Victor 20-1745

[David Lennick]

How the heck do "Dancing On The Ceiling" and "I Can't Get Started" fit into 
what otherwise appears to be a cancelled album of Gershwin tunes? Hmmmm.

D5VB 1047	BUT NOT FOR ME (20-1745, unissued)
D5VB 1067	THE MAN I LOVE (unissued)
D5VB 1070	LOVE WALKED IN (20-1742, unissued)
D5VB 1071-1	SOON (447-0057, various LPs)
D5VB 1076	THEY CAN'T TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME (20-1743, unssued till LP)
D5VB 1079	OUR LOVE IS HERE TO STAY (20-1743, unissued)
D5VB 1080	I WAS DOING ALL RIGHT	 (20-1742, unissued)
D5VB 1081	SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME (20-1744, unissued)
D5VB 1082	THINGS ARE LOOKING UP (20-1744, unissued)
D5VB 1091	I CAN'T GET STARTED (20-1745, unissued till LP/45)
D5VB 1047 again, July 30/45: But Not For Me, unissued

On November 13/45 Artie started recording for Musicraft. Presumably he told 
Victor to shove it. A Gershwin album was probably to cash in on the "Rhapsody 
in Blue" movie but got shelved, although some other Shaw sides from this period 
were issued during 1946.
