A Columbia red label of WHAT???  Certainly not a Marilyn Monroe 
recording.  The new Victor label book shows on page 230 the Monroe 
picture pasteover promo label and the record that the labels were meant 
for -- a thin vinyl pressing with a white label and a big red question 
mark for the radio station people to ponder for a week as to who the 
vocalist was. "Who Is She? She's gorgeous...  Her name's a household 
word!  You guess... Ask your listeners to guess!  Answer in next week's 
DJ kit."   I've long had the record with the labels, and a couple of 
years ago finally got a copy without the labels.
