Per the Abrams Files, Grey Gull m# 3538 was JW, singing "Pagan Love Song"
with (presumably) the GG "house 'orchestra'" as backing...issued on GG2486.
GG m# 3782 only shows "Magnanti" as artist; it was recorded in late 12/29.
and issued on GG3782 (prob B?).
It was common for the lesser flexible labels to use US GG sides; Goodson and
several others did so...!

Note that I have NO idea about the sides below?!
