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

[Glenn Longwell]

31-0009 is the only one of this series that I have that I know of.
A side  Some Enchanted Evening by Eve Young from South PacificB side  You Can Have Him by Eve Young from Miss Liberty
No reference on the label that it is part of a set.

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.
