I know there'll be lots more on this thread I have yet to read, but:

(1) I notice the Bluebird "Abrams file" has no entry for Bluebird  
B-11083, so this is welcome news;
(2) Are you saying the coupling is "The Bum Song"/"The Bum Song No.  
2" -- or ??? What exactly is the coupling?
(3) Would it be possible to get label scans?

TIA

Take care,



Joe
