Actually, the duplicate titles were usually recorded on the same day. 
You're right about most being in 1932, although the volume of recordings 
had abated by 1933. ADBORAF does include the theatre discs, which 
usually come from separate sessions.

I have a few duplicate titles--generally the "other" singers don't 
interest me--sometimes neither does!
