#3 - Shirley Bassey - I'll Get By
(2) items regarding this recording. First it should be transferred to SongTitle 785 - I'll Get By (As Long As I Have You) as it is the same song. Second since the following Chart Entry is from 1944 it should be removed from this 1961 recording and transferred to one of the 1944 recordings. 1. UK 40's Sheet Music 2 - 8 weeks (June 1944).
The original source suggests the 1944 hit was Shirley Bassey (wrong, as you say), Connie Francis (also wrong, her version was 1958), Joe Loss, Maureen Evans, Ricky Stevens or Victor Silvester.
We're going with Joe Loss, thanks

Double Listing - Rhythm Divine
#34 should be combined with #1 (under Duets w/Yello).
Data fixed, thanks
