To help in this quest:
"Tonight's My Night With Baby"- there are two versions (at least)
The first is found on Banner 1745, Domino 3715, Regal 8056, Apex 8504, Imperial 1638, and possibly other associated labels. All are matrix 6538. They may show up under Lanin's name or Broadway Broadcasters, Bob Green's Dance Orch., or Bar Harbor Society Orch, and possibly others like Dixie Daisies, Chic Endor's Dance Orch., etc.

The second is found on Cameo 934 or Lincoln 2512, probably also Romeo and Banner. It can also be labeled as by "Broadway Broadcasters". The matrix number on this one is 1931.

"Crazy Quilt" is surprisingly rare. The only issue I can find of this title by Lanin was released on Cameo 996, Lincoln (no cat number given) and Romeo 260. The matrix number you want to see on this one will be 2088-C. Other letter suffixes may show up. You never know.

Collecting Lanin is a hot mess with all the different issues, labels, and pseudonyms. That's why you'll want the matrix numbers. On top of that, he often recorded the same number for different record companies on different dates with different bands. The man must have LIVED in recording studios!

Hope this info helps.
