Carlyle side.)

ACCORDING TO A 'BILLBOARD' REPORT DATED APRIL 1ST, 1950, GUY WAS STILL
USING THE NAME OF AL GRANT WHEN HE SIGNED FOR COLUMBIA RECORDS IN
MARCH 1950. MITCH MILLER PERSUADED HIM TO CHANGE HIS NAME TO 'GUY
MITCHELL', AND ALL RELEASES FROM THIS POINT ARE LABELLED AS SUCH.
1951
SEP KING 15125 CABARET DEWEY BERGMAN
I'VE GOT A FRAME WITHOUT A PICTURE * RUFE SMITH
*(With THE SATISFIERS FOURSOME)
DECCA 24410 EVELYN CARMEN CAVALLARO
CARMEN CAVALLARO'S ORCHESTRA: ANITRA'S BOOGIE
NOTE: KING 15125 is listed as by AL GRANT in Ken Clee's DIRECTORY OF
AMERICAN 45RPM RECORDS (a 78 VERSION would have been issued as well),
but all copies so far found have been labelled GUY MITCHELL.
A copy of DECCA 24410 was found in Guy's collection after he died.
EVELYN was labelled 'AL GRANT WITH CARMEN CAVALLARO'. This re-labelling
was presumably done in 1951 after Guy's initial success on Columbia, with
DECCA being wary of using the 'Guy Mitchell' name for this early
recording.
It is possible that DECCA 24330 and 24488 were similarly re-labbelled.

(This 78 is labelled 'GUY MITCHELL' in silver lettering, but has subsequently
been overprinted on both sides in black ink 'Formerly AL CERNICK'. The songs
obviously come from his pre-Guy Mitchell days, and like KING 15125 above, were
issued to cash in on his early Columbia hits.
The 1951 release date is a guess.)
