Must Hear This Album

Thanks for this. Very helpful, as that little note has never made sense to me. I guess the note is better than: āSorry, we couldnāt get the publishing rights for these lyrics!āThe reason for this is because composer Irving Berlin refused granting permission in the publishing of the lyrics, even to his closest colleagues. The song was never published in any major book publication, however only as an individual piece of sheet music through Hal Leonard publishing.
Funny that it was something so mundane as publishing rights...
