And as I recall, "They Shoot Horses Don't They" from 1969..I've seen lacquers 
from Johnny Green's collection. I've had some of the Glenn Miller playbacks and 
I used them for an Intersound disc years ago..some of the longer numbers like 
Kalamazoo and Chattanooga Choo Choo were spread out over three sides. Noisy 
shellac, too.
