UA in this case means "United Artist", no relation to the film studio or later
label. This UA also duplicated Variety (the mid 40s label, not the 30s one that
was part of Master).
As for the other "why didn't they" questions, they probably decided that only a
single CD was worth doing.
Great source for info and photos but I prefer the original 78s in many cases.
And check out the Jo Stafford Capitol CD which has studio patter (or a
breakdown, I forget which) before "Tim-Tay-Shun". I didn't know about the skip
on "Hannah"..as I say, I have virtually all of the original 78s. Seems to me
that one track is transferred seriously off speed as well.
