Very interesting post...I grabbed that last clip (alt. of "My Cutey's  
Due...") and will compare it against the 78 to be sure.

According to EDVR, BVE 35591-2 is the Master issued on Victor 20120- 
A, -4 is marked "Hold" and -2, -4 were Destroyed, so if that YT post  
is indeed an alternate it's gotta be Take 4.

As for the other Weems track, "You're The Cream In My Coffee" -- the  
YT poster claims it's Victor 21767-A; EDVR shows BVE 47851-1  
Destroyed, -2 Master (21767-A) and -3 Hold. I can't grab this YT  
track (yet); will try to compare it somehow.

Take care,


Joe
