[78-L] Edmond O'Brien (and this DOES have 78rpm relevance)

Edmond O'Brien's MY BELOVED, Mercury MG 25013, was originally recorded 
for..Majestic? c. 1947? I don't see it in the Majestic listings on Ty's site 
but I thought I'd seen the set on 78s.

Good old Mercury, reissuing everything in sight in 1949 and never bothering to 
add composer credits, or in half the cases even to bother listing the titles on 
the jacket. I have one copy of this with a photo of O'Brien on the front, a 
reference to his being a Universal Motion Picture Star, and nothing but catalog 
listings on the back. And I have another copy in a fold-over paper sleeve with 
generic artwork, and with the titles listed (in the wrong order), and catalog 
listings on the back.

(I've managed to identify all the poets btw.)
