That prefix sounds suspiciously US-ian! Columbia used the "RHCO"
prefix for sides cut in California by "Radio Recorders"...!

Abrams lists RHCO4564 (a Stuart Hamblen c&w side), and then omits
the "R" for 4567 (Doris Day), although it MAY actually appear on the
disc itself...?! Also, his dates for all the *HCO456* are all given as
"approx. 9/51" which suggests he had no accurate dates for Columbia
recordings of that period?
