[78-L] Whiteman's"Sweet Sue"

[martha]

 No discovery at all.  Don Rayno says :  " Take 4 was subsequently 
re-releasedas Columbia 35667 as part of album C-29. Most issues of 35667, 
however, have the introduction edited out. The runoff groove of the edited 
issue has "2A" stamped at the top..."

 So, original 12" was Take 1,  dubbed 10" was Take 4.   Not so much "zero 
odds".
