[78-L] Glenn Miller - why so late on the label?

[Rodger Holtin]

Glenn
Miller was older and had been around as long or longer than Benny Goodman, Jack
Teagarden or even Bunny Berigan, but all of them got their names on the label
of some studio sides they made long before Miller; BG in the 1920s, Jack in
1930 and even relative latecomer Berigan in 1933.  As a
contractor known to all the producers, Miller surely had the contacts, and he
had his sights set on leadership since he was in college, so why did it take
him until 1935 to get his name on the label? 
Coincidences, or some plan of delayed gratification, or waiting until he
felt the time was right??  Did he tell George T Simon?  Anybody know?
