The only other Gold Seal I've seen is by Frankie Laine (or is that Gold Star?), 
and the song refers to the war not being over yet. Lord lists the Gold Seals 
(part of a set, Album 200, The Dark Angel of the Violin) as being recorded in 
October 1946.

The titles are "Hot Canary" and "Best Years of My Life" on the Gold Seal label (not Herschel Gold Seal, obviously). No record numbers, but the masters read 2005-ES and 2006-ES. Anyone know where these came from and when they were done? It appears to be post-war.
