70989-1?	Sweet Violets - 1	Vic 23633, BB B-6421 (Bob Dickson—both issues)

Joel Shaw And His Orchestra
		
1630-3,5	Sweet Violets	Crown 3271, Var 8034.
LP: The Old Masters 52.
CD: Alpha Music CD594, The Old Masters MB127 (-5)

The Crown version is the naughty one. Vic 23633 is a small group, tame,
version. That's not to say some of the unissued Victors weren't too. The 
TOM LP transfer is superior to the CD, although the latter is taken from 
a better copy.
