    > Rodger, I'm delving into that era heavily right now. Have been for 
    > months. Your list looks pretty complete to me. That's quite a few 
    > hours of work. If I run across any others in the future I'll try to 
    > remember to post them. Do you happen to have at hand the dates that 
    > each label settled with the union? I know Decca settled early because 
    > they wanted to release the "Oklahoma" Original Cast album. I read just 
    > yesterday that Decca's first single release after the ban was PISTOL 
    > PACKIN' MAMA by Bing. Evidently the Dexter recording was made before 
    > the ban. Was Columbia the other label to settle early? I'll never 
    > understand why Montreal and Toronto didn't take advantage of the ban 
    > by recording current songs there. Even Mexico City. And what about 
    > Honolulu? RayK -----------------------------------------From: "Rodger 
    > J Holtin" For almost as many years as I've collected 78s I've been 
    > curious about the records made during the AFM recording ban of 
    > 1942-44. While we'll probably never know what the renegades like 
    > Oberstein did during that period, the records made by singers with 
    > acappella-accompaniment for the major labels is a finite list. With

    > https://sinatrafamily.com/session/index.php /> I've made a tentative 
    > list which I have pasted in below. I've never seen any acappella 
    > records on Capitol and the only OKeh that I've been able to find is 
    > one by the Golden Gate Quartet, and I see that Ty's list has a note on 
    > one of them indicating an August 1942 date. I listed the Four 
    > Vagabonds on Bluebird as the dates indicate they were recorded during 
    > the ban. I finally found a copy of Rosie The Riveter and I Had The 
    > Craziest Dream on 30-0810, but a close listen reveals that it has some 
    > kind of stringed instrument - I'm guessing a tiple. Years ago I read 
    > that somebody got by with that since the tiple was not recognized as a 
    > legitimate instrument by the union. I doubted the story at the time I 
    > heard it, so perhaps I have finally found that one and proved it to be 
    > correct. Haven't heard the other sides, so I don't know about them. 
    > Have also heard that Petrillo was singularly unhappy with this 
    > situation and called in other unions to stop their members; i.e.: 
    > Actor's Guild to stop some singers, and IBEW to stop the recording 
    > engineers. If anybody can confirm or correct those items, I'd like to
