Annotation

Next step for improving metadata on this Release:
Run audio through SoundHound or Shazam in an attempt to identify the performing Artist group or band.
"Editing History" includes an Editor who may still have access to this CD.
Perhaps they are prepared to sell you the CD?
I assume that the Editor is located in Europe.

Bottom left of rear cover art reads:
"King-Disc N.C.B.
Nr. LD 8909"
(N.C.B. is Nordisk Copyright Bureau)

A strangely similar approach to the listing of artists on the cover art can be found on
Music for Millions: Vol. 1 (covers, Monanda label)

Multiple discrepancies on CA tracklist:
Track 14 "Franky" should be Frankie.
Possibly writer of track 2 is not Trad. This song may be more a modern recent jazz, pop or rock song.
Writer of Track 3 may possibly be Bobby Charles (Robert Charles Guidry).
Writer of Track 10 is not F. Sinatra but rather John Kander.
Writer of Track 11 is not actually unknown or Trad. but rather Shostakovich, arranged by Harry Rabinowitz.
