Side A is labelled correctly as "Three Little Words" by Lou Gold & His 
Orchestra. However in the dead wax area, along with the matrix no. 
10142-2 is stamped "11-13-30 Bullock". However, the vocalist is Irving 
Kaufman and listed as such in ADBORAF and which confirms the date.

Side B is labelled "How A Little Girl Like You Could Love Me" by Lloyd 
Dayton & His Music, which ADBORAF shows as by Fred McDougall. In the wax 
is stamped matrix no. 10133-3 and "10-13-30 Cab ??". ADBORAF suggests 
it's a Kirkeby group, with the vocalist being Dick Dixon, who croons in 
a very wavery way and who recorded with Ted Wallace on the same day. The 
date is at odds with ADBORAF, which shows it as October 10, 1930. The 
trumpet sounds like Jack Purvis.
