Very Rare - Frank Sinatra - MGM Studios Production Record for film "The Kissing Bandit"
Two-sided 78rpm/80rpm MGM Production Record # 27343 / 27342 ... Record dated May 21, 1947
Probably pressed for MGM by Columbia Records, Hollywood
Like all studio production records, this was never intended to reach the public. See notice on second side.
"We're On Our Way"
"If I Steal A Kiss"
"We're On Our Way" - this song/number was "cut" from the film before release, and does not appear in the film
... first 55 seconds is instrumental, followed by just over 2 minutes of Frank Sinatra and gang of bandits singing
... the song is about the bandits being "on their way" to relieve people of their money, or whatever they might have.
Just under 3:00 minutes
"If I Steal A Kiss" - Frank Sinatra sings... first with guitar accompaniment, orchestra joins in...
Just under 3:00 minutes
"The Kissing Bandit" apparently gave MGM problems, both during production and after release.
This production disc is dated May 21, 1947, and the film wasn't released until November 1948 (a long period in those years)
The film was a major financial loss for MGM.
E- / V+ condition
Voices are strong, but scuffs and scratches create some crackle, often inherent in many MGM discs of the period.
