Liberty Music Shop put out an album of Gracie items from both Rex and EMI, all 
dubs. They also issued Stanley Holloway's "The Lion and Albert", on a dubbed 
master which then served for all North American pressings through the 40s since 
ARC had made the dub (which was terrible).

I think she was on Columbia in the -M series, along with Charles Trenet, Jean 
Sablon and Lucienne Boyer. And Brunswick had a number of Marlene Dietrich's 
Polydors.
