	Roger,

	Here's another one for your discography.

	You can check it out to be sure. It did come out in 1943. It's by the
Song Spinners but not on Decca. So it may or may not be the same Song
Spinners. The label calls them Dick Bryer and the Song Spinners.

	Musicraft 15011 - YOU'D BE SO NICE TO COME HOME TO b/w OVER THERE.

Subject: [78-L] AFM ban discography

 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 the resource of

http://www.78discography.com/ [1]

 and a little clarification from

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 know about that, too.

 Any additions/corrections/suggestions, let me know.
