[78-L] In The Mood

[David Lennick]

You mean the later Andrews Sisters may have had Joe de Rita or Joe Besser subbing?

The date on that site led me direct to the listing in the Decca Books. July 7, 
1952 with Nelson Riddle's Orchestra, Decca 28342 b/w Adios. In The Mood also 
issued on LP on Vocalion (7)3611 and MCA 739.  Same old gang.
