Kept trying to get Lord to work but "mysterious ways" and all that. From Rust:

Cole Porter songs on LMS 294/7 are April 10 & 15/40 with Bunny Berigan and Paul 
Weston's (Wetstein's) Orchestras, P27150/3 and 27162/5. Let me know if you need 
these.

I believe the Ernie Anderson credit is only on the Rodgers & Hart songs. Could 
be wrong.
