Thanks,  Patrick.  My questions are two,  and I need someone who has a copy 
of the Harmony to tell me:

Is the Harmony issue electric as is the record on the LP?

If it's not the version on the LP,  did they just make a switch and then 
used the Romeo version because it sounded better?

I recall that there are only two non-electric vocals in the set...the Cliff 
Edwards and the Blossom Seeley cuts.

Thanks from

Taylor
