One more Venuti item that hasn't been mentioned (I don't think).

This is a 45 rpm EP from the Grand Award collection titled "Fiddle on Fire" featuring Venuti with Paul Whiteman & his Orchestra. The LP was mentioned but not an EP.

EP-2020
Titles:

Fine and Dandy
Midnight in Monte Carlo
Hindustan
Body and Soul

> Evidently Tempo started with a 500 series "from this period" in 1946,
> and began a 400 series in 1949.
> We discussed the label long ago and then it became evident it used only
> the even catnrs.
> The Lord lists also 4526. Is it possible that the 4500 series is 45-rpm?
> Most likely Lord got his info from Bruyninckx (using Jepsen) & Garrod.

> I have images of Pan-American 046, which is credited to JOE VENUTI.
> Odd label. 
> 013/015/029/030/112/113 are by Dan Kalauawa Stewart, undoubtedly known to 
> Hawaiian discographers.
> 019 is Yum Yum Blues/Pom Pom by "The Orchestra of Stars, Conducted by Cliff Lange" 
> (the last letter pres. an "e", later issues as Clifford Lang.), featuring Tommy Todd-p.
> 044 by Eddie Cantor + Mendez
> 069 by John Laurenz
> More Ra(f)fael Mendez-tp; also Camille Howard;more Cliff Lang.
