Thanks for all the responses to my Shaw query (which, by the way, is to be
used for a Mosaic boxed set of Shaw and I'll be glad to mention all who
helped in the liner notes). I have some more questions, but to recap, it
looks like the sides were scheduled for release on RCA Victor, possibly for
a Gershwin album, but never issued. 

So along with new info from the 78-l group and Vladimir Simosko's Artie
Shaw: A Musical Biography and Discography (published by Scarecrow Press in
2000) here's what I've come up with (with only the initial release listed).
Rust only goes to 1942, Jepsen lists what's been stated here and Lord pretty
much copies all the same info. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
				   Hollywood, April 17, 1945
D5VB 1047-1	But Not For Me 	RCA (F) PM 42403 (scheduled for
release on RCA Vic 20-1745)

D5VB 1048-1 Tea For Two 	RCA (E) DPM 2041 (scheduled for
release on RCA Vic 20-1696) 

D5VC 1091-2	Summertime 		RCA Vic LPM 1648 (LP)
D5VC 1091-1	Summertime 		Vic 28-0406 (12" 78)

The French LP came out in 1979 - the US Bluebird issue (5579) came out in
1981.   	
Also, out of curiosity, which take of "Summertime" came out on V-Disc 731A
and RCA Victor EPA 599? The alternate -2 has a prominent guitar intro by
Barney Kessel.

				Hollywood, June 12, 1945
D5VB 1067-1	The Man I Love	BB AMX2-5579 (LP)
------------------------------------------------------------
				Hollywood, July 3, 1945
D5VB 1070-1	Love Walked In 	BB AMX2-5579 (scheduled for
release on RCA Vic 20-1745)

D5VB 1071-1	Soon 	 (scheduled for release on RCA Vic 20-1742)

What is RCA Victor 447/997-0057 ?
--------------------------------------------------------------
					Hollywood, July 11, 1945
D5VB 1076-1	They Can't Take 
			That Away From Me    BB AXM2-5580 (LP) 
-------------------------------------------------------------
					Hollywood, July 14, 1945
D5VB 1076-2	They Can't Take 
			That Away From Me    Camden CAL 908 (LP)
D5VB 1079-1	Our Love Is Here To Stay   BB AXM2-5580 (LP)
D5VB 1080-1	I Was Doing All Right		     -

"they can't take that away from me" and "our love is here 
to stay" was scheduled for release on RCA Victor 20-1743
and "i was doing all right" for RCA Victor 20-1742.
-------------------------------------------------------------
					Hollywood, July 17, 1945
D5VB 1081-1	Someone To Watch Over Me 	BB AXM2-5580 (LP)
D5VB 1082-1	Things Are Looking Up 			  -

Both scheduled for RCA Victor 20-1744.
-----------------------------------------------------------
					Hollywood, July 24, 1945
D5VB 1090-1	Dancing On The Ceiling     RCA Vic LPT 1020 (LP)
D5VB 1091-1	I Can't Get Started        RCA Vic 20-1934

"Ceiling" scheduled for 20-1745. Lord lists RCA Victor 947-0216. 
What is this?

Don't see a listing of "Started" with 20-1745, but this did 
come out on 78.
------------------------------------------------------------
				Hollywood, July 30, 1945
D5VB 1047-2	But Not For Me 	unissued - test pressing exists
-----------------------------------------------------------

And my last question is what tracks appeared on AFRS P-516 and P-1117? 

Thanks !!
Scott W.
