i"ll never say "never again" again and What a little moonlight can do

By treyelle, 31 March, 2011
Description

this record on the Columbia label was a "special record, for radio stations, not for sale"  Hopefully I won't be in trouble if I try and sell it, or for having bought it, considering how long ago it was probably used.  if anyone knows anything about that, lemme know.  Don't want to break the law.  This recording was listed as 39976  CO 48875 and CO 48876, whatever that means.  must be an identifier of some kind, finding it on every recording I have purchased.  There is also a label stuck on one side of the recording which says "Steven Mara RA19512857.  Again, not sure what that is.  I kinda assume that is the DJ who was in receipt of the record, but unsure.  I do know that Helen Ward had a short initial career, which began with Benny Goodman.  He was evidently going to propose to her after a romance, but changed his mind because of his career.  She then married someone else and retired for a time.  This record appears to be one prior to retirement.  She is known as one of the foremost female "swing" singers of her day (the female swing jazz singers were known as "chirps") .  Very curious as to whether or not the "special record" aspect of this recording increases, decreases or does not effect it's value, and what that value is.
