With regard to the item by Benny Carter's Orchestra. We make no apology for including this along with the Eckstine tracks other than it was contained in the master tapes sent to us from America and represented as being by Billy's band. A little research soon established that this was not so and the complete personnel of the Carter band is shown above.
