I have a number of questions.

Over the last week I have been listening to some of my old records including Ed McCurdy's Dalliance albums and Oscar Brand's bawdy songs of the Navy. It occurred to me as I was up to my wrists in the soapy water that these albums are very risque even for our times. What was going on back in the 1950's that McCurdy and Brand would feel secure enough to record these beauties? Does anyone know?

As an aside, I have two of McCurdy's albums both titled When Dalliance Was In Flower And Maidens Lost Their Heads - Volume III. (Yes, they each say Volume III) The front of each is different but the notes and pictures on the back are the same. The songs on the albums are different. Why?

How many Dalliance albums are there?
