Right, Cosmopolitan 7501, with "Rockin' Chair" on the flip. Rust lists that
one 
as well as Biltmore 1014.

I don't suppose the Goldkette included the suppressed opening? That does

No, the Goldkette ain't got the extra opening - just a straight boot of both
sides of the Victor "Special" - waltz and fox-trot versions.  (Or as Agatha
Christie's detective Hercule Poirot referred to it, "the trot of the fox.")
My copy is pressed on strange greasy-looking vinyl.
