Bernadette Moore was the archivist at RCA when I was
doing research for my 1992 book. One day I got the bright
idea that the record company just might have the recording
sheets for the above session. I called Bernadette and much
to my amazement they did have it and she mailed all the
information RCA had from that afternoon. The album is very
rare.
