[78-L] Decca masters - Carl Sandburg The People, Yes INFO NEEDED

[David Lennick]

Found them..the numbers are split up, possibly between studios. 68593/6 were 
used for Bobby Byrne's Orchestra a couple of days later. The Sandburgs are all 
January 17/41, between two sessions by Bobby Capo (68587/90, 68612/20), an Art 
Tatum session is 68605/8, a Woody Herman date on the 22nd uses 68609/11 and 
68616 (jumping over the second batch of Bobby Capo numbers used on the 17th), 
and there are some other discrepancies. But no missing Sandburg sides at this 
session. Per the book, the two Decca lps use the same material. "Proverbs" is 
split on the ten-inch. I don't know if the twelve-incher includes everything 
since Decca was known to omit material and not tell anyone.
