Mystery Record w. Kenton, Riddle and May

[dondaben]

Am I imagining things or what? I seem to vaguely recall hearing one
night on WNEW ' s "Milkman's Matinee" a record featuring Stan Kenton,
Nelson Riddle, and Billy May accompanied by the Lombardo Orchestra. It
was probably a special session organized by Capitol Records. One side
had them singing as a trio (they sounded inebriated) the flip had
Kenton's piano, Riddle on trombone and Billy May soloing on trumpet.
Maybe this was for radio stations only. I can't seem to locate it as a
commercial issue. Any help would be appreciated.

Here is what the specialists from Kentonia write:

quoted:
No mystery , it's AFTER YOU'VE GONE and
BELLY UP TO THE BAR, BOYS - vocals by Stan, Billy and Nelson.
Rec. Sept. 26, 1960 - released on Capitol single 4477.

Note from the unpublished Pete Venudor disco:
These titles were originally recorded by the Guy Lombardo orchestra in New
York City, and the masters flown to Hollywood, where Kenton, May & Riddle
dubbed in their parts, to produce the final recordings.
According to Noel Wedder a second version was done with special lyrics and
ribald greetings for the private enjoyment of Guy Lombardo. Both sessions
produced by Lee Gillette.
That second version would have been a mystery if that had been played.

This was never a commercial release, but a promotional one for the
forthcoming Capitol Original Broadway Cast album of Meredith Willson's
The Unsinkable Molly Brown, which opened during the autumn of 1960. I
have seen the original 45 of this going for a substantial price at
several of Ken Poston's events.

Kenton, Riddle, May, and Lombardo were all signed to Capitol at this
time, and some unnamed Capitol executive saw fit to team them on the
song "Belly Up to the Bar, Boys" from the show, where it was sung by
Tammy Grimes (later by Debbie Reynolds in the film version).

Hi ,

I haven't heard it.

It was a Capitol 45,and "After You've Gone"was the flip side.

There is a book about Billy May'The Music Of Billy May".
