I've been under the impression that most LW sides recorded BY Columbia and
possibly in the same studio.  Sure sound awful similar to me.

Best!  :-)

- 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!
