[78-L] Further questions on RCA/Bluebird 31-0000 series

[David Lennick]

31-0009 and 31-0010 appear to be other recordings of songs from Miss Liberty, 
per the Irving Berlin Songography..the Al Goodman album is BN-4 and the 
individual numbers aren't given (and my copy is stowed away at the moment). 
31-0009: YOU CAN HAVE HIM..EVE YOUNG (don't know what's on the flip)
31-0010: LET'S TAKE AN OLD FASHIONED WALK/I LOVE YOU..JOHNNY BRADFORD

The Goodman set features Wynn Murray, Bob Wright, Martha Wright and Jimmy 
Carroll, The Guild Choristers and Al Goodman's Orchestra, and I'm 99% sure the 
numbers are 0005/0008.
