When doing lead sheets,
I usually do a google search for the early recordings of the tunes.
Many times redhotjazz does not have all of them.
I use the following google search argument

"My Pretty Girl" site:settlet.fateback.com

to search a site which lists a very large quantity of 78 rpm recordings
I could be more  specific, but not all listings include the add'l info (as you can see below),
 but here's an example

"My Pretty Girl" + Fulcher site:settlet.fateback.com
