In a  recently acquired collection we have found a 3 inch record from the 
Decca  Personality Series, "Does Your Heart Beat for Me" by Russ Morgan,  #25080. 
 Can anyone tell me a little about the history of 3 inchers  and/or the Decca 
Personality Series?
It was mounted (glued) on a matte,  along with a 7 inch disc, H Berliner 
Gramophon record, "Romance for Trombone"  Military Band (Bennet) Washington, D.C. 
May 27, '97.  No explanation for  the juxtaposition, just matted and  frame
FWIW, Russ Morgan was a trombonist, so perhaps it was a sort of gag gift 
for him?
Andy Mansfield was the pianist on the Ray Miller & His Hotel Gibson 
Orchestra sides recorded for Brunswick in Chicago (in October 1927)and 
Cincinnnati (in February 1928). A "Happy Mansfield" was the bass player 
for the band when it recorded in 1926 - perhaps a relative?
