[78-L] High Noon..3 versions?

[David Lennick]

This from a British magazine, "The Gramophone Record", September 1952 (not to 
be confused with The Gramophone):

"Caught with his spurs down by the unexpected success of his soundtrack 
rendering of High Noon, Tex Ritter, whose Capitol discing of the tune was made 
with normal studio accompaniment, was immediately contacted on arrival in 
London and rushed up to Decca;s studios to rerecord the song with the gimmick 
background as in the film. Enjoying big sales here (CL 13778), the record was 
shipped to the States...and immediately banned by AFM chief Petrillo! Loath to 
let a good thing go and with their star 6000 miles away, Capitol compromised by 
dubbing in tom-toms over the original recording."

News to you? Does this mean there are three Ritter versions of "High Noon" 
(Original Capitol, English Decca/Capitol, overdubbed US Capitol)?
