No album number on the labels but Musicraft 389/392 are an album set, S2: Artie 
Shaw Plays Cole Porter. 391 is Begin the Beguine/You Do Something To Me. Later 
pressings replace Beguine with Love For Sale. Bill Korst's discography says 
"withdrawn almost immediately after issue", you say after 30,000 copies were sold.

Shaw went to Victor in late 1945, not '46..my goof.
