These three tunes are included as a single item on Philology Volume 26. The item sounds like a single acetate comprising the fragments of "How High the Moon" (0:00-1:21), "Indiana" (1:35-2:38), and "The Man I Love" (2:43-4:17). These all sound as if they were recorded during the Hi-De-Ho engagement, though the quality is slightly worse than on the issued Benedetti material.
