There is one LP collection of "Chocolate Dandies" (I think on a German 
label - I will have to go find my copy) that has almost TOTALLY wrong 
credits - vocals where none exist, all sorts of musicians who were 
never associated with any version of "Chocolate Dandies" that i can 
find - very embarrassing to read info on my program and then have to 
say something like - "Wait a minute, Glenn Miller was never in the 
Chocolate dandies, was he?"
