Tommy Clayton has covered the hits of the day for Eli Oberstein's various budget labels. Some twenty Varsity tracks can be heard at Internet Archive here; unfortunately the sound clips are of very low quality.

Apart Varsity, his records are found on W&G (Australia & New Zealand), Pacific (France), Royale (USA) and World Record Club (UK), all either way related to Eli Oberstein. He recorded budget albums too for Acorn (Tommy Clayton and his Polkateers, Tommy Clayton -Square Dance Band)), for Choo Choo (Tommy Clayton Singers).

At least several covers were recorded in Europe by Pacific, a french label (in Paris or Brussels?) by Philippe-Gérard while Tommy Clayton was in the US Army, stationed in Belgium.
