- Three Du Barry Was A Lady (1939): 1990 Concert, 1996 Encores!, 2001 BBC
- An audio of Panama Hattie (1940): 2019 Mufti
- Two audios of Let’s Face It (1941): 1994 Lost Musicals + 2006 Musicals Tonight!
- Two Something For The Boys (1943): 1995 Lost Musicals + 2002 Roosevelt University

Come back next month for more musical rarities! And stay tuned tomorrow for more Becker!
