Nope..mine has a plain label and reads "Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams" and "As 
Sung by Bing Crosby". White label with two black rings around the 
circumference, one thicker than the other. Mx EC 247 in the dead wax, looks 
like Radio Recorders font, old style stop groove. "Jimmy Valentine" side has 
"Serial #257" on label and mx EC 228 in dead wax in much larger font, 
Recordings Unlimited style, and no run-out at all..as if this one was pressed 
from the actual parts for what would have been the playback if this hadn't been 
a breakup.

Doesn't Bing say "Let's take it over to Victor" in the argument with Jack Kapp, 
or does that reference occur only on one of the duets with Bob Hope?
