As near as I can reconstruct these entries, the release dates were obtained from sources applicable to these particular releases as opposed to a source for the label. I don't even warrant the accuracy of these. They were the best information I could locate at the time.

Thanks for the submission. Cover now added.
Covers of "Losing My Mind" by the listed artists have now all been added to the database. Thanks for the submission.
Added the release "Songs of New York"; however, Short covered "Manhattan" in 1955, and that cover of the song has been added to the database. Thanks for the submission.
Added. Thanks for the submission.
Went ahead and added this without identifying the original version. Based on additional research it could be the Haymes/Jenkins, Houston/Sears, or a recording by Tommy Dorsey.
Report Errors and Inaccurate Information Re: Performance: I Can't Give You Anything but Love (Baby) (tsk)Apparently, I must have been aware of "Harry Delmar's Revels" prior to your post, and simply forgot about it since I can see from sources I had examined for the original comment that they referenced "Revels". In any event, I have now added a comment to the performance, acknowledging that the song may have been performed in "Revels", and I have also revised the comment I made with respect to the work.

Report Errors and Inaccurate Information Re: Performance: I Can't Give You Anything but Love (Baby) (tsk)This is an interesting one. I was completely unaware of "Harry Delmar's Revels" until your posting. It is not mentioned by Suskin in "Show Tunes", although he does say "I Can't Give You Anything But Love" became an immediate success after it was performed in"Blackbirds of 1928".
I can find nothing that credits McHugh/Fields for any of the music in "Harry Delmar's Revels". According to the website devoted to Fields, Delmar hated the song and it was cut after opening night, but according to another source, it was cut prior to the opening, http://www.ovrtur.com/show/119780. I don't know if there were public performances of "Revels" before the scheduled opening - tryouts are common now, but I don't know if that was true in 1927 and 1928 and, even if true, whether the practice extended to tryouts for musical revues. So I'm not sure if there ever were public performances of "I Can't Give You Anything but Love" as part of "Harry Delmar's Revels".
I have seen claims - mentioned at the Fields' website, that the song was originally "I Can't Give You Anything but Love, Lindy". In fact, at least the "Jazz Standards" site states that Fields rewrote the lyrics for "Blackbirds". See, http://www.jazzstandards.com/compositions-1/icantgiveyouanythingbutlove.htm. That site also discusses whether McHugh/Fields even wrote the song, as there is some evidence for, and supporters of the claim, that this was a Fats Waller/Andy Razaf composition that Waller sold to McHugh.
So at this point, I'm thinking I'll add a Comment, but I don't think I'll be saying it was originally performed in "Delmar's Revels", although this may be the case.
