I just found a copy of this thing...I've never heard of the label or the 
orchestra.  The label on the flip side ("Don't Cry") lists soloists 
including Billy Butterfield,  Ernie Caceres,  Al Caiola and Freddy 
Ohms...all busy in the  NY studios around 1948-50 or so when I assume this 
was recorded.

BTW the recording sound is excellent...very clean and the solos on  "Don't 
Cry" are perfectly miked.   The trombone section is so smooth and blended 
that it almost sounds like the same guy overdubbed playing all the parts.

Anybody know anything about Larry Wagner,  this record,  or this label?

BTW composer credits on both sides read "Wagner-Eaton-Shuman."
