[78-L] Coral children's set "A Trip To New York"

[David Lennick]

The reason there's no date in the Decca books is that this was one of the many 
Signature masters Bob Thiele brought with him. It still could have been issued 
around 1951 since it was on 78 and 45. And it falls in line with the other 
Signatures from 1947. Signature wouldn't have been recording anything but 
speech or choirs if they still existed in 1948, I think.
