The only answer to A 820 is to play it. Maybe they coupled Dinah Shore's 
Buttons and Bows with Les Baxter's Sentimental Journey? Both were US 
Columbia recordings, although never issued coupled together here.

I've had two pressings of A 93, and the late Andrea Walsh had one. I've 
seen so many of that one around that I think it's the Japanese 
equivalent of "Near You" by Francis Craig.
