I have both, but it is amazing how many collectors have LW 20 but not
the Columbia.  It's not all that great a song and its only claim to fame
is it being practically the only LW made by a famous and easily
recognizable star.  The only reason to have the Columbia is as a
comparison to the LW or having to have EVERY Jolson.  Since it was in
the first LW release it did have a relatively long life in the catalog,
but has anyone ever seen it with a paper label?  I wonder if word "got
out" at the time that it was Jolson, and everyone rushed to their
Woolworth to grab it.  It probably sold more on LW than Columbia!
