[78-L] Eddie Cantor dates

[Randy Watts]

The reason I suggested what I suggested is that I noticed in Ruppli's discography that the sessions for the majority of Capitol's soundtrack albums are listed under a single recording date, one that's usually pretty near the release date of both the album and the movie. Some of those are specifically noted as "filing dates" rather than recording dates. While that may not be true of the Capitol Cantors, if those are soundtrack recordings rather than studio remakes, it just struck me as unlikely that they would have been recorded as late as October when the movie was released just three months later, and that the date the tracks were actually recorded at Warner Bros. may have been much earlier.
