[edit] Unedited "Captain Spaulding"

Quote from the page: The original full version of "Hooray for Captain Spaulding" was edited in compliance to the Hays Code when it was re-released in 1936: the sexually suggestive line "I think I'll try and make her" was removed [...] The only known recording of the original dialogue can be heard on the CD Boxed Set The Marx Brothers Sing & Play issued in 1995 & 2000 by Chansons Cinema, and made from un-edited European prints of the film.

On this advice I recently purchased the album in question, only to find that the version of the song was the commonly heard edit (minus the suggestive line). Is this information thus incorrect, or do the two dates of the album (1995 and 2000) come into play? Is one edition edited, and the other not?

The information about the original recording was added to Wikipedia by user 198.179.227.59 on Dec 17, 2007. Earlier, this page stated that no original versions of the recording survived. My impulse is to revert to that information, but I'd like an explanation from 198.179.227.59. I've long been seeking the unedited recording, and I'd like to know if the fault is somehow mine.
