how would i be able to know if there was a 78 released, with these two songs:

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

There's no You (female voc.) b/w Body and Soul (instrumental small group, featuring clarinet)-- have an acetate of this trying to figure out.....k

[JSngry]

Does the dead wax have anything in it? Or the label anything on it? At all?

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

heyyy!  no nothin- just a standard "presto" label w/ nothing on it!

It might have been something recorded for somebody's local/personal use. With no matrix or label markings, that seems possible.

You're looking at a 10 year time span (78's finished 1953/4) and "There's No You" was from 1944. Nice song - Jo Stafford did it in 1945, and it was fairly well covered by jazz people after that (though almost forgotten today). Body and Soul was done by everybody.

Any clues? Who does the vocal/ clarinet/ group sound like? Swing/ bop influence?  

If it was private, as Jim mentions, there's no way to track it ... Q.

Have you tried Siri?
