[78-L] Bailey discography

[David Lennick]

I have two ten-inch Allegro Elite lps (on nice Canadian pressings) of Mildred. 
Anything I should be checking for on them? Interesting how alternates and takes 
clearly not intended for issue turned up on some of these, like Lee Wiley's 
"But Not for Me" where she blows the last note, turns off mic and says "Oh God".
