[78-L] Br B-1000 album series query #2

[David Lennick]

HOUDINI (just happen to have the album right beside me):

Br 80085

A: THE COOKS IN TRINIDAD
B: NO MO' BENCH AND BOARD

Br 80086
A: ARIMA TONIGHT, SANGRE GRANDE TOMORROW NIGHT
B: I NEED A MAN

I have the Crosby, Calloway and Morton sets, but not here. How about the 1945 
Decca catalog?
