Use "Music In The Russ Morgan Manner" was the name of a successful radio show hosted by Russ Morgan (2). While the Morgan band recorded for Brunswick, from 1936 to 1938, the labels used "Music In The Russ Morgan Manner" as the name of the orchestra. Later, when they switched to Decca, a shortened version of this name, "Music In The Morgan Manner," continued to appear on labels, but only as a tagline below the orchestra name Russ Morgan And His Orchestra.

Use Russ Morgan And His Orchestra as the PAN where the band is listed like this on the labels. Whenever it is credited instead as Music In The Russ Morgan Manner (the name of Morgan's successful radio show), as on Music In The Russ Morgan Manner, Music In The Russ Morgan Manner, Music In The Russ Morgan Manner, and British Music In The Russ Morgan Manner, use this alias as the PAN. List the shortened "Music In The Morgan Manner", which appears in a smaller typeface on many U.S. Music In The Russ Morgan Manner releases below the orchestra name, only as a tagline in the notes.
