2. Record No. 47-2899-A  The title of this side is When Is Sometime?, but the title has been crossed through and the words Your Adorable written.  I haven't played the record, so I'm not sure what is really on it.  The crossed out title is said to be from the Paramount film "Connecticut Yankee" and written by Johnny Burke-James Van Heusen.  The singer is Perry Como with Russ Case and his Orchestra.  The second side has the exact same labeling as the first, so this must be a labeling error.
