David Hall's handwritten index cards at R&H shows the Lee Wiley to be
the only Music Box album they have.  I didn't check for singles.  If you
see it sitting alone, I guess it was a single.  I'll have Leah search
the Amer Record Guide for ads.  Doesn't sound like something they'd
review.

PS (I wonder if they'd have Kitty pose like in the ad I sent you
offlist!)

> Interesting. I'd like to see that scan and so would my daughter who is a big Kitty Carlisle fan. She even bought an autographed photo of herthe Met Opera Shop was selling a few years ago. Anybody know if the record was part of an album, and if it has ever been reissued. And how many times have you ever run across a record this early copyrighted by the performer?!!! Is it the label or the recording or the songs being copyrighted. We should look this up in the copyright files. For those who have never seen the Lee Wiley records, they are all 10-inchers.
