Thanks for the info. I thought it was the same 1954 recording, not 3 
different ones. So I guess I've got the 1947 version on the 4 red 
vinyl 45's? It has a different cover than the LM-1817 LP & is listed 
as WDM-1147.  I do have ERB-1817 & it's got the exact same front 
cover as LM-1817 does. This is the one on 2 compressed sounding plus 
lower volume black vinyl 45's. I don't have ERA-82 or ERB-13 though 
so I guess I have to keep looking for them as well as the 1947 78 rpm 
issue. I'll have to look for the 1947 version on the early LP too now 
that I know it exists. Oh & I got lucky with LSC-1817 in near mint 
condition about 15 years ago at a local record collector show. 
Collector book value back then was around $300 & last I checked (on a 
classical vinyl sale web site) it was going for $500. What did I pay 
for it at the record show? Only $6,

1947 version on Camden? I'll have to look for it.....
