But as far as I know they don't feature any actual Capitol Theater Orchestra, since the common one (Tip-Toe Thru the Tulips/Painting the Clouds with Sunshine, 1074-P) is a California Ramblers disc.

There are two MGM's and a Publix on Eboy right now. The Publix disk is 
by the Paramounteers, A Year From Today/I'm Following You, which is 
supposedly the Georgians. I don't think so, though they did this song 
with Irving Koffman vocals. The record shows the vocals are by Brit 
violinist Phil Lewis, who died only a few year later, I believe. His 
bands attracted Americans, such as Ahola (not here, but as the Rhythm 
Maniacs) for a time.

I find no matches for these sides in either Columbia of Harmony, though 
my search method is rather crude

One MGM I mentioned uses recoupled Harmony Paul Specht sides. The other 
is credited to the Capitolians as well, 1080-P I Don't Want Your 
Kisses/Until The End. That one appears to match Columbia 1979D Fred Rich 
Orch. So I think I have an answer there. Blondy sure sounds like Busse. 
Marianne like Lanin.

Whether they were sold in the lobbies or not, and whether they are 
directly from the movies, they seem to frequently cover songs found in 
their respective theater offerings. Is there any truth to this?
