Now that's weird -- if I've *ever* seen a "Freddie" Martin record, it  
would've been one of the Melotones or such. Have *never* seen  
anything other than "Freddy" on a Victor...would LOVE to see a label  
scan of your copy of 20-2709! I'll have to check to see if I have  
that one...got a LOT of Martin but not everything.

Take care,
