I recently got hold of about 61 45 rpm EPs, along with a few 7" stereo 33s and some standard 45 singles which correspond in most cases to the late 78 era. This one is a bit of a mystery:
Columbia B-2029 Wingy Manone and his Band
(ZEP 35417)
Oh Capri! (Isle of Capri) = Columbia 40301 (Co 51753)
Three Coins in the Fountain = Columbia 40301 (Co 51756)
(ZEP 35418)
Knockin' On the Pawnshop Door
St. James Infirmary
The 78 equivalent is shown for the first side; there is apparently none for the flip. This seems to be a very obscure session for Wingy; I can only date it as close as 1954; he doesn't have a lot of studio recording around that date and especially not after. I can find no reissues or compilations for this material, not even in the LP era.
Is it possible that these are the only recordings that Wingy Manone made for Columbia?
