Serqei, the first three songs of the four you listed were never overdubbed and are not recordings by Jim. "My Life Is A Gypsy" is sung by Madeline Usher and the other two are orchestra with chorus. These are all from Jim's movie "Kimberley Jim" and the soundtrack CD is still very much available. I don't believe "Could I Be Falling In Love" was ever available as an overdub but this song is on the Bear set and the "Kimberley Jim" CD.
