Recutting "'Tain't No Sin"
By Paul Johnson

I've heard of a couple of offers to allow different versions of "'Taint No Sin" to be offered for recut. I'd be happy to work with those generous enough to loan their originals for this project. I like Robbie's idea of doing two versions on one roll. It would be nice to do two versions that haven't been recut yet. I've heard of two being offered so far -- the Playrite version and one on Imperial. Are there any other versions lurking out there that should be considered?

What a great rundown Frank Himpsl did on Rudy Erlebach and Armand Muth. We really need a book on this wonderful information.
