Looking forward to editor review so I can sync my notes....
Bing Crosby's version of "Riders in the Sky" was originally issued on Decca 24618 in the U.S. The reference to the B-Side of the 1949 single "Far Away Places" is for a single issued later in the Netherlands. I don't see any conflict with what is currently posted on SHS.
