A friend of mine bought the entire Phil Harris broadcast recordings 
archive from Alice Faye and mentioned on the air last night that a lot 
of the 1950s shows had the complete recording sessions.  About 8 of them 
with warm ups are in circulation.  This program also had the pick-up 
insert recording session that followed, but he still has to check if the 
as-aired edited program is in existence.
