Following website has details of Shaw arrangements.
It is not clear to me how they identified the releases (for some the LP issue is given),
but maybe these show the planned issues.
For 20-1743 only a single tune is listed.

I give here the details referring to the tunes discussed here:

>>> 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 1079	OUR LOVE IS HERE TO STAY (20-1743, 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.
