Noop..Archives Series 2 is LA 2050-B and 2172-A, recorded November 26/39 and 
February 29/40 respectively and originally on red Columbia 35325 and 35428. 
Canadian issue is C-10163 if anybody's taking notes.

I forgot to mention that Cantor also did 7 sides in 1934 which appeared on the 
various ARC labels and Rex in the UK, including two totally different versions 
of "When My Ship Comes In", both of which were issued.
