[78-L] KING Jukebox Record??

[David Lennick]

Ah..in between being Al Cernik and Guy Mitchell. He recorded with Carmen 
Guycaballero under his original name, but I don't think I was even aware of any 
Al Grant recordings when I did a Mitchell CD some years ago.

As Al Grant, he recorded 11 sides for the King label in 1949, but only 10 of them were released as King label singles with 'I Wish I Had A Record' being the one exception.  It was included on a King LP issued in 1959 titled 'Sincerely Yours'.  There was no mention of it being a jukebox record, there was a bit of confusion on that point, but I think it probably was.  Apparently, the Guy Mitchell Society has a discography that pictures this label, but there wasn't much discussion about that.
