The photo shouldn't be in the Decca section.
/* 1939 Decca studio album */ I think the tracklisting is not needed here anymore. Especially since I have doubts about its correctness, esp. about the "Harold Arlen, soloist" part. See "[[The Wizard of Oz (1939 album)]]", Arlen performs the spoken part of the introduction to "The Jitterbug" and that's all. Also, I've just listened to the recording and I thinks it's Ken Darby who sings.)
